Hi all,

I've recently been interested in the Punto HGT's. I've decided I want to change my centre console to a HGT one. I've got a few questions..

Firstly, will it fit with my current Punto? Will the whole panel fit with my handbrake etc? And will the current gearstick gaitor fit too? Pictures shown later.

Also, because the cigarette lighter is in a different place, will I need to lengthen the cigarette lighter wire?

Yes the screws are all the same, if you get a console from a 1.4 sporting it will still be in silver but will have the cup holders but like the hgt console it still extends around the gear stick and into the back, the din sized hole from the hgt cd changer is completely useless for anything, it's on a weird angle and the cd changer it's self is crap

Thanks for the help. The screws were the only thing worrying me.

I've decided to go for a cubby hole, you can buy them off eBay that just fit in the gap.

(And will the current gearstick gaitor fit too? )

A: No, :rolleyes:

you need the HGT/Sporting plastic insert,
 
Thanks :) exactly what I needed. Fingers crossed the cigarette lighter will be a straight swap!

Now just to decide what to do with the hole where the CD changer should be...

Someone on here put in clocks where the changer should be (oil etc).

I've sent him a message, fingers crossed he's still got it..

So is there no way it will work until I have this part? Or is there a way I can bodge it for the minute?
