Technical 500 centre console in Panda?

[Wazzzer]

Has anyone tried fitting the 500 centre console in the Panda?

It looks like it should fit but only if you include the lower part under the gearstick. The only thing I've noticed so far is the plastic colours in the 500 don't seem to be the same as the 100HP...

Just thinking out loud really

If you mean the bit with the cup holders then 99% yes as they all have the same floor pan. You can solve the colour issue by covering with Alcantara or a car spec uphostery cloth.
Once you start that, you'll have to seriously consider doing the whole interior. You could even get a spare 169 dash panel to cut up and modify. That radio hump is ugly. Chop it flat to the dash top and put a single DIN radio in the glove box.

Project Binky CAD will come in very handy.

Apparently possible, but a reasonable degree of faff

Edit: ah... links to that site get censored, because there's an expletive in its title. I hope you're not too easily offended by cuss words If so, yeah, don't visit that site. Otherwise, simply replace **** in the link above with your swear word of choice!

Big help thanks, shows that the panels from the 500 and Panda won't marry up as the profile of the dash is different in that area

It takes a lot to offend me so not a problem
