Home made cubby box

colskuse · Mar 10, 2015

all, i have made my own cubby box, looking for ideas of what to use to cover it ?

Crisp packets....... easy to stick on, folds easily around tricky corners and will blend nicely with the rest of the interior.

Please try to keep answers serious in the techie sections....trying to form a Spandau Ballet album into the right shape would be a nightmare!

I thought they came empty, breed under the seats or something?

I may have to have a talk with my children

Just looking at it I can see why you would want to cover it:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi

Just search for acoustic carpet on eBay. That should work.

Mine has a thin vinyl covering that's just folded over the edges and stapled. You could always cover it in wood stain and tell everyone it came out of an old Jag

What about some Alcantara or equivalent suede covering, just to add that bit of luxury?

loads are made like that and sold. they just finish with some foam and whatever cover to finish

Get some wadding from a furniture shop then cover that with vinyl, or whatever your seats are covered in. I seem to remember you can buy cup holder inserts for the front.

Found one...Landrover Defender Series Cubby Box Cup Holder FWJ500020PMA | eBay

Cover it in food and drink stains. That's what mine is covered in.

By the way was only jumping on the bandwagon to have a laugh (crisp packets etc) lighten up.

I was gonna say a sheet! ( sorry, its the chippy coming out of me )

Definitely use padding/wadding then wrap in whatever. Denim would look interesting, but best really to match your seats if you can.

Don't think the OP knew that did he?
