S2 handbrake centre console in an S1 Elise and leather stuff

Is it possible to fit an S2 centre console into an S1 Elise?

Does it almost drop in or will it require major cut n shut to make it work?

I have a wiring loom and heat controller for a heated jacket. (which I use because I am slightly unhinged and drive around after midnight with the roof off) I need to mount the rotary knob control somewhere and the S2 gear lever cover looks to have a lot more space in front of the gear lever to mount a rotary knob where the traction control buttons are on more recent cars.

Also seen a couple of much cheapness central consoles on Ebay recently.

There are also some interesting leather "glue on top of" kit for S1/S2 interior parts to tidy things up a bit. Has anyone tried any of them? I still have some holes showing on my Stack instrument cover, a legacy of bloody great big shift light...
