Holy leather

[Webby]

I want to remove the Motorola carphone handset and cradle which came installed in my W210 when I bought it. It's been fitted on top of the armrest/storage box so when it's removed there are going to be holes through the leather.Anyone got any suggestions for covering these holes? I know the obvious answer is to re-cover the armrest but am I likely to get a good colour match? I'm trying to think of a quick fix that would look o.k.
I had thought of trying to get a simcard so that I could use it but I don't want to have another mobile no.. Could I utilise the existing cabling/speaker etc, and fit a cradle for my Nokia8310e? Any help appreciated as always.

you need to fit one of these:

to cover up any holes, which will probably be there.... cheapest way i can see, other than trimming yourself with cloth or something....

Just had a brainwave while driving the car this morning. There appears to be two fixing points which,of course will leave two holes when unit is removed.
My idea is to get two of those button things you see on settes and chairs.If I can get two grey leather covered ones, I could fasten them by tying them down through the holes and securing them under the lid Now,where''s that upholsterer's place?

What colour is your interior?, as I have one left over from a mod.

It's a light grey leather, not sure of the exact colour. How do I find what colour it is?
