Did my first coding with NCS Expert and enabled one touch triple indicator blink.

Simple once you know how but it’s akin to a PHD in research getting the right software, data files, config and setup.

I think it's 'pearl grey' but looks a lot like Nardo Grey. Always wanted a Zed in Nardo so this is close enough. It's a fantastic job that has been done with the wrap. Silver Grey underneath if I ever want to remove. :)

That’s very like the individual colour I requested for the G29 and was told no

Looks great and may you and the Mrs enjoy many happy miles in it :driving:

    No problem. I’m halfway done. Routing the USB and holder/kit. Next step is hardwiring a USB port somewhere stealth.

    Filled her up with Shell's finest, bought some correct 5W-30 M LL-04 spec oil and spent the rest of the afternoon ordering more parts...

    Now to see about that pricey wheel refurb.... :|

    I didn't have a Sat/Nav so cut a hole in my dash and installed the storage bin just for extra storage.
