you mean different nav screens in terms of colour (grey vs. black) of the body?

Great set of mods - well done.

Is it just the camera angle that makes the left side of the bootlid look odd, or did you omit to fit the trim piece?

hey all,
thanks for your feedback.

- i just read in german forum that the chrome knobs are available separately, will look for the part no
- i just killed my door when driving out of the garage without closing it - no further comments, please :-)
- the trunk lid may look strange on the picture where i combined old and new rear lights because the old bumper was still installed - no chance to fit the new rear light appropriately. anyway, now everything looks OEM

My error on the bumper fitting. Didn't notice that one picture was an interim stage

Good to know the numbers of the radio buttons - thnaks for posting and I'll pick up some of those :thumbsup:

For the heater controls di you change out that unit or retrofit buttons to it as they look like the facelift version for the UK?

My guess is you did the chrome on the steering wheel yourself - where'd you get them pse.

hehe, no prob :-)

as I stated above, the heater control is also changed to the facelift one - not the knobs only, it can be only obtained as an
entire unit - attach some pictures:

Thanks nahodo - close up shots help. Guess it's just a case of finding athe facelift unit at a reasonable price and the right one. Looks way better with chrome finishers compared to the older style
