Oh yes, I meant to mention - the spray glue in LIDL is called Flash Bonder. It says it allows repositioning for something like 60 mins or something - can't remember the exact figure, but it seemed impressive. Mention of it here for one

Cool, forgot about that - I'll pick some up tomorrow chinky chinky

I've finally found some 6x9"s which have a fairly decent low level frequency response, so it may be changing soon...

Yes, think it will. Certainly will need to be done in panels. It may be possible to glue fabric to console and marry pattern up but probably best stitched. I have not experimented yet so we shall see.........
