Purpose and function of the component

The presented centre console frame is a factory decorative panel mounted around the gear shifting mechanism in the CL203 body style. It is responsible for the aesthetic finish of the centre tunnel area, masks technical mounts, and provides a comfortable, stable support for the hand while operating the gear lever.

Thanks to its precise fit to the console geometry, the panel allows for maintaining the consistent stylistic lines of the dashboard, which is particularly important when replacing a damaged or heavily worn original part.

Construction and aluminium finish

The element is manufactured using OEM technology, with a decorative aluminium-look surface characteristic of sporty and elegant trim versions. This type of finish:

• emphasises the modern character of the cockpit,
• blends well with other decorative trims,
• is resistant to typical operational loads in the tunnel area.

The frame profile has been designed to fit tightly to the console and work with factory mounts, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of unwanted play or rattles while driving.

Benefits of using an original panel

Using an original trim panel instead of non-factory or heavily worn parts brings measurable results:

• consistent interior look – maintaining factory styling and quality of fitment,
• comfort of use – stable hand support when shifting gears and no sharp edges,
• easier car resale – a well-maintained centre tunnel positively influences the perception of the entire vehicle.

This is a practical solution both for post-accident repairs and for refreshing the cabin in cars used on a daily basis.

Part condition and practical application

The offered panel is a used part, which allows you to combine original origin with an attractive price compared to new components. It is a good solution for comprehensive interior renovation when you want to maintain the factory character without overstretching your budget.

Before installation, it is worth comparing the shape and placement of the mounts with the currently installed element in the vehicle to confirm full compatibility. If necessary, data such as the OEM part number or available interchangeable numbers, presented in the technical specification section, may also be helpful.
