Can I change the centre console on my Astra?

I bought a 2011 Opel Astra hatchback and would like to know if it is possible to change the aluminium centre console surround for one that matches the dash. If not, could it be reprayed to match the dash?

Hi FD,

We asked Opel Ireland for advice on this one for you and here's the response:

"Unfortunately this is the only colour we offer in the centre console.  If the customer would like to paint it then it's best to consult a good body shop as they would be able to advise best on whether to paint it or not.  Our Opel dealers do not carry out body shop modifications so we cannot directly recommend one; however if the customer wishes he can contact his local Opel dealership and discuss the options with them."

Hope that's of some help
