I've got a mk3 8v and I'm in a quandry

. The fronf of the centre console, where there is a gaping hole cd's/mobiles etc is getting on my nerves.....I've seen people installing drinks holders in here, but I'm not keen on that Idea.At the moment, I have a 4 point cigar lighter adapter in there to run the mobile/satnav/snooper, so as you can imagine, theres wires everywhere. Has anyone ever 'Blanked' this hole off? I was thinking of a thin sheet of Hardboard, cut to size, covered in black suede, and fixing in place

Any ideas would be gratefully received, pics too
Cheers
