absolutely stunning mate.. looks so factory. Well done!

Quick question that I couldnt find an answer to;

Why are there window switches on the centre console? They'd be there on a Sapph because of the rear windows but not on this?

I also wondered this but guessed they are just there to fill in the gaps until the console is smoothed etc?

Awesome car.

Still needs mapping , so thats still to come - just nice to get some miles on the clock and iron out any issues should they arise!

And for those that asked the Rear Electric window swithes are still in place simply cos i didnt was two holes in the back of the centre console!

I

A 4 inch tail pipe will fill the bumper recess , but it was something I wanted to avoid - trying to be slightly subtle .
