Armrest & Console Lids

A worn console lid is the first thing you touch and the first thing that looks tired. We recover yours in leather or vinyl for a quick, low-cost lift to the whole cabin. From R620.

The Detail

A Small Job With A Big Payoff

The console lid, or centre armrest, is one of the most touched parts of your car, so it wears and cracks faster than almost anything else in the cabin. We recover yours in leather or vinyl, cut and finished to match the rest of your interior.

It is one of the quickest and most affordable jobs we do, often a same-day recovery, and it makes a surprising difference to how fresh the whole interior feels. Leather work carries a 3 year warranty on the material and stitching.

Vinyl work: vinyl is a hard wearing, budget friendly option, but it does not carry a warranty. Leather is the choice if you want the finish backed for the long term.
Please note: we are unable to recover 2-piece injection moulded lids, such as those on some Mercedes models. Send us a photo of your lid and we will confirm whether yours can be done before you book.

Real Customer Reviews

Better Than Factory

The fake leather on my BMW G20 3 Series started peeling off. I took it to these guys and in a few hours it was better than OEM, because unlike BMW they use real Dakota leather. They are also cheaper than most of the guys around.

Good To Know

Console Lid Questions

How much does it cost?

A console lid is R680 in leather or R620 in vinyl. It is one of the most affordable jobs we do and makes a real difference to how fresh the cabin feels.

How long does it take?

Console lids are quick. Most are a same-day recovery, and up to 2 days at the outside. We confirm timing when you bring the lid in.

Leather or vinyl, which should I choose?

Both look great. Leather is the premium option and carries a 3 year warranty on the material and stitching. Vinyl is hard wearing and a little cheaper, but it does not carry a warranty.

Can you do any console lid?

Most, yes, but we are unable to recover 2-piece injection moulded lids, such as those on some Mercedes models. Send us a photo of your lid and we will confirm whether yours can be done. We are based in Centurion, Gauteng, and book up fast, so get in early to secure your slot.
