No MOT requirement just the usual over egging of safety to protect the dense from themselves  :grin:

The sticker looks really good Ms B  :smiley:
Simple but effective and definitely the right colour and finish combo.

Yesterday I swapped this
 

 
For this version
 

 
It's better quality and deeper, I prefer it. 
 
I also got these:
 

 
Hmm, undecided but about them.  :undecided:
 

 
Which unexpectedly came with this lot!
 

 
Most of which will never be used, however I did find a use for the L-shaped mat - to line the driver's cubby that holds the pedal box controller, to eliminate rattling.  I usually wrap the controller in a microfibre but this looks better.  Used a few Velcro dots bottom and top to keep in place.
 

 

 

 
The others will be used as padding for any future rattles.

That's a lot of R's

I was thinking of flocking the little cubbybox. On the CC it is covered, amazing how they penny pinch on the smaller car.

I keep my pedal box controller and OBDeleven in there but they don't rattle, surprising because most of the rest of the car had rattles.

What have you done with the original? I can offer some beer tokens to prevent it taking up space in landfill...
Didn't even know they existed TBH, where do they come from?

I'm afraid someone else has first dibs on the outgoing one but if they decide not to take it, it's your FOC. 

Can be purchased as per IWGTI link.  The R one also from eBay.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122511460118

 :laugh: I know!  :grin:

The only bits that I'm keeping are the armrest storage, as it's actually much better quality than the other one, and pad in the driver's cubby for practical purposes - both are out of view so the oem outward staid germanic boringness of the cabin, remains unchanged.  :laugh:
