My Superb Elegance has the wood effect centre console of which I am no huge fan. Is there a replacement for it that is the same colour as the vent surrounds, the brushed steel look. If so, has anyone fitted it and how difficult is it. I know it's also on the door cards but strangely enough, that doesn't bother me too much, and I don't fancy removing the cards - or is that not too difficult either?

Cheers. :confused:

I know what you mean. It's what stopped me getting the Elegance. Maybe there's someone out there that wants the wood effect on a comfort model, and you could swap. Just an idea.

I think Milotec might do a kit ... they definitely do one for the Octavia.....

I've had a quick look on their site and they do seem to have something but I can't tell if it's a stick-on thing or not. Any clues?

Just get the Classic/Comfort Facias for the elegance im sure they wouldnt be that expencive from your locla skoda

The wood on the Superb Elegance isnt fake, it is proper wood veneer. In an all black nappa leather interior, they look very nice.

The piano black facia from the edition 100 looks nice.

All I got is black in mine (superb classic)

Mine is the all wood with black leather but in the centre section it just looks too much to me. I've seen it in the newer spec with the sat nav and it looks better because there is less of it. I love the sound of the piano black though. I didn't really notice it in the 100 model because all I could think was 'why did they put grey leather in it' and 'where can I get those tail pipes'. Will have to speak to my dealer about the piano black unless anyone has any details.

Same with mine (superb comfort)

So someone has wood and would prefer black and someone else has black and would prefer wood? Since its easy to clip out the fascias (on the dash) sounds like there's and easy solution to keep at least two people happy?

The wood on the doors should be real wood (although it looks like plastic to me ;-), but in the centre console it is not. The piece surrounding the radio is aluminium covered by some kind of resin, and the ashtray and "drawer" front is plastic.

After removing the centre console, including the drawer, i am certain that it is wood veneer. As you say, it is on aluminium - A very costly way to add a fake wood panel, which could easily be achieved with a plastic moulding. The aluminium is required so the panel doesnt flex, which would crack the veneer. If you etch the ends of the panel the black paint comes off, and you can see the wood veneer. This veneer is then coated by laquer/resin. The drawer front has the same, just not on Aluminium.

I think that might be why the door wood doesn't bother me, at least it looks real, the centre somehow though just doesn't. I've got to get some info on the piano black used in the 100s, that looks class.
