OK......blue spangly stars.......but I'm OK with that

Finally got round to removing the aluminium trim and start fitting the carbon leather trim that I bought from forum member [ref]Wassup[/ref], and I am very happy with the way it looks . Now just got to remove the whole of the centre consol and everything else that goes with it to fit the last part . Not looking forward to that .

Fitted the Bastuck midsection without silencers. No change under steady load, but quite a nice rasp under full chat and nice burbles off throttle. Straight six symphony
Can’t post them here, but there’s a few clips in my Instagram stories: https://www.instagram.com/bartsbuilds?igsh=YzVkODRmOTdmMw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
Removed centre console to try and fit carbon leather trim . As I cant bend my left leg it makes things even more of a challenge as I cant kneel etc so I spent 2 hours in various positions some of which are probably not even in the Karma Sutra . Got there in the end though . I would say the most time consuming part was getting the knee pads off the console 
Eventually got a trim remover behind the front and slipped in another quickly behind it .
Once it was all out I realised I still had to cut the airbag button hole in the carbon trim as it only came with the sport button side done . Used a drill and then a deburring bit to cut the shape out but did not know that there is a thin wooden layer between the part and the leather . This caused the leather to lift as small bits of wood fell out from under the leather
I have glued it back down as best I can and will leave it overnight before possibly getting everything back together tomorrow. I am hoping it wont be too noticeable once the button is in and everything is back together . Not sure what I could have done any differently if I had known about the wood layer being in between .

Treated my car to 6.5 litres of the finest golden lubricant.
Just as well as although the car said oil level ok; I measured the drained oil and it had 7.5 litres. It was the first service since I purchased it two months ago.
Now at the correct level purring like a kitten. New wipers and a full clean
