Howdy fellow clubber
I also downloaded plans for a box like console, but it would have been pretty heavy in MDF
and limit foot room near the clutch, so looked at ways to minimise & lighten it.
I've just constructed a lightweight centre console, based roughly on the look of the new MINI centre console, see pics in my "members gallery" here

I painted it up last night - looking sweet
this one screws in from behind under the heater switches, so when removed, no holes should be easily visible, and no holes needed into the floor.
Cheers.
