On many cars, the front panel has a console in the middle part, which rests on the floor and serves to accommodate a wide variety of equipment. The so-called beard of the VAZ 2107 model is a fairly functional interior detail. The central console is an excellent stylistic solution for the developers of the VAZ 2107 car interior, and it is also very functional. Tuning enthusiasts often make this unit with their own hands and give it an original look. Additional elements are added to the design that increase the usefulness of this device and give it uniqueness. They often put on the beard:
- Watch.
- Radio or other multimedia device.
- Dimmer switch for instrument panel lighting.
- Switch block for electric fan, exterior lighting and fog lights.
- At the bottom of the gear lever there is a convenient pocket for small items.
Materials and interior preparation
Making this unit yourself is usually done from a plywood sheet with a thickness of at least 6 mm. For exterior finishing, a wide variety of materials can be used, mainly leatherette, matched to match the upholstery of other interior parts. Advanced tuning enthusiasts go further; they cover the front panel, the inner surface of the doors, and some other parts with this material.
To make the center console for a VAZ 2107 car from the materials listed above, you use the following tools yourself:
- electric jigsaw;
- battery drill or screwdriver;
- angle grinder;
- tape measure, plumbing corner, pencil;
- assembly gun for glue;
- furniture stapler.
The beard, made by yourself, is installed in place of the standard unit. It must be carefully dismantled in order to free up a platform for a homemade console.
