seat cover needs to be replaced

a vinyl repair shop can fix the door.

Vinyl paint probably can cover the center console, but otherwise it will take replacing.

I tried having some scratches repaired at a vinyl repair place.

Doesn't work there is something about the surface that doesn't let their filler stick.

Most of the stuff in the interior needs to be replaced completely if it is damaged.

this car has tiny trunk... enough to fit spare tire and oil.. and thats basicly it.
Try to drive someone to airport with that car. Baggage ends up on the back seat
scratching plastic - Lesson learned, bc my car is yellow doesn't mean i'm a taxi.

Something like that center console cover....should be relatively easy and cheap to find as a replacement. You definitely don't have to get a new one. Check out the forums for cars being parted out, or junkyards.

As sad as it is, there are plenty of 8's out there that get wrecked somehow, and often 80% of the parts are still good and are available for us to eat up if needed.
