Would not it be cheaper to have them re covered in leather, or do it your self, its easy to work with, and you just beat it over a dolly to shape it ,and glue with an impact adhesive

Photos are better in case we are taliking of the wrong parts

Warm it up carefully with a hairdryer , or if you are the outdoor sort a haredryer . Maybe just maybe it will be enough to relieve that damage.

I use a local company to repair damage like this.. The company i use are called Trim-Technique... Im sure you could find a similar outfit in Glasgow...

A lot of these SMART repair companies also do interiors..

Sadly it is not leather, the backing has been cut, almost impossible to buy the same.
Either recover the console in leather or a new one, I dont think that heat will help

Second thoughts any chance of finding one from a breaker, that would be the best
