I've just had my car's centre console and armrest lid retrimmed in leather by Linas at Design LS (based at Fairoaks Airport near Chobham, Surrey).
The car is a 2011 Gen 2 PDK Carrera by the way, with black interior. The original console's paint finish had rubbed off in a couple of places, so I decided to get this done. Photos attached.
Linas does an exchange service; he retrims an identical console to yours, and when ready you take your car to his workshop. He swaps the new console with your original while you go for a coffee at the Hangar Cafe nearby. Or you can post your console to him and refit it yourself.
Linas is a highly skilled craftsman, and a really nice bloke. I'm not sure his communication skills are the best, and it took several months from first contact to getting this finished. But if you're patient, the end result is worth the slightly haphazard admin side of things.
The work I had done cost around £1k and I think you get what you pay for; I'm very happy with the finished item. Linas can apply this finish to just about any part of your car, and it really does look OEM in my opinion.
Anyway, I thought I'd post this as another option to a painted console from the likes of Wicked Coatings.
