Fiat 500C Centre Console Replacement Parts

The Fiat 500C is a compact city car built on a very space-efficient platform, and in most configurations it does not feature a traditional centre console between the front seats — the cabin layout typically uses a simple floor tunnel or no raised centre section at all, with storage integrated elsewhere. If you are looking for the armrest, gear surround trim, or a small storage tray near the gearlever, those are the parts you are most likely after. Let a breaker know exactly what you are trying to replace and where it sits in the car, as the terminology can vary.

On the Fiat 500C the area between the front seats is generally occupied by the gearlever surround, a small cubby or storage pocket, and on some trim levels a handbrake gaiter — rather than a full centre console box as you would find on a larger car. The part you may be searching for is more accurately described as the gear surround, centre trim panel, or tunnel trim. Quoting breakers with a clear description of the piece — its location, shape, and whether it includes a storage area — will get you more accurate matches.

The Fiat 500 and 500C share the same platform and most interior components, including any floor tunnel trim or gear surround panels, so parts from the standard three-door hatchback will generally carry across to the 500C cabriolet. The 500C's soft-top mechanism does not typically affect the centre floor area, so this is not usually a concern for this particular part. That said, always confirm the generation and trim level match with the breaker, as trim-specific details can affect the exact fit.

For the small floor tunnel and gear surround area on the Fiat 500C, trim level differences are usually cosmetic — you may see different materials, finishes, or colour accents between Pop, Lounge, and higher trims — rather than differences in the underlying shape or fixings. A part from a different trim grade will generally fit the same way, but may look slightly different to the rest of your interior. Ask the breaker what finish the part carries so you can judge whether it is a close enough visual match for your car.

The Fiat 500 range received a notable update around 2015 that introduced some interior and exterior revisions, and there is a reasonable chance that small trim panels in the floor area changed in design or fixings at that point. Parts from pre-2015 cars may not align perfectly with the facelifted interior, even if they look similar. Name the exact year of both the donor car and your own to the breaker and ask them to compare the parts directly before you buy.

Give the breaker your registration number so they can confirm the exact model year and trim level, and describe precisely what you are replacing — for example, whether it is the gear lever surround, a storage tray, a gaiter, or a floor tunnel cover — since 'centre console' can mean different things on a small car like the 500C. Letting them know the colour or finish of your current interior trim will also help them match the part as closely as possible. The more detail you provide up front, the less chance of ordering something that does not suit your car.
