Adapted (posh word for hacked to pieces) some aftermarket polo buttons to fit in my switch panel, probably looks alright from your house ImageImage

Spectacular build you've done!
As if the seats couldn't look any better, doing the plastics just finishes them off perfectly

Thank you mate, really appreciate it!
The seats are obviously just out of a touran and used, just with retrimmed fabrics, so I noticed that the plastics had seen better days, so with everything else new and shiny it seemed a shame to leave them like that

Joined my dash trim and stereo surround facia into one piece, filled, smoothed and wrapped it. Small change but looks so much neater than it did in two pieces

Love those new indicators. How'd you go about doing that?

Really pleased with how this grill has turned out. A 6mm silicone led diffuser running along the bottom of the grill strip, doesn't look as out of place as I was fearing.
All completely removable, just sitting in a row aluminium brackets

Door card ambient lights... Not originally where I wanted them but after having a play around it's quite a challenge to get them sitting right while still having everything else fit back into place Image
