I like the way this is going. Not sure I've ever seen a black and red door before? More often you see red paired with a dark grey type colour? Could be wrong! More pics please :poke: :)

On top of the dash is a sat nav unit that I re-purposed. I removed the screen (didn't work anyway), removed the motor, levelled out the bottom, then carpeted it to make an oddment tray as such. I also re-purposed the switches by wiring them up to latching relays - which is some of the wiring you can just see still sticking out. :) It's obviously not fixed in place yet, I was still testing stuff.

Yeah, it's 05 plate like mine isn't it? Just before they facelifted the cars in 2005 they changed the red leather cars to black plastics. 2003 to 2004 cars with red leather were grey only, the ones that have sterling grey plastics like the radio and ash tray sections etc.
