Had the car a couple of months now - made a couple of small changes:
Before:

After:

Next step is to cover/change the wood effect trim
Thinking of using the carbon fibre vinyl stuff as the aluminium or piano black is way too expensive :sign_unfair:

Looking good dude! :thumbsup:

What about 'painting' the wood trim in a glossy (piano) black?? I did something similar in one of my old cars...

Thanks. I have toyed with the idea of painting but I can't work out how the ashtray comes out.
Plus its a company car so if I use the stick on stuff I can revert back to normal when I give it back (still got the chrome grill and black mirror housings).

Thats a great example of the difference the black grill makes over the silver one.
Well worth the £300 extra on the options list if you ask me! Looks great!
