After 3 weeks I cracked and had to give the car a wash, it's definitely a lot easier doing it weekly. Also been getting better at using my iphone for pictures!




My jaw dropped in awe. Beautiful.

I fitted door welcome/exit lights on the front doors (SO long winded) and footwell lights that are in the front and rear. I’ve got 30 colour instrument colours coded in so it’s nice to match the footwells to the colours shown on the MIB and the digital dash.

Driving at night is amazing now :grin:








Looks great did you use OBD eleven to code the colours?

Thanks! Yes I used OBD11 to change colours but only for the actual MIB/active info display. The footwell lights are controlled via an app on my phone/remote control

I will do as you suggest and email them as I only want the fronts  :smiley:

Can you post back here as I'd be interested in fronts for mine.

I thought the Weathertech mats were smart too so I emailed Weathertech European Sales Dept. Here’s the body of the reply dated 21/9/21.

Please find a quote below for the front pair below with the part number for rhd:

‘446541 - $109.95 USD

Shipping - $70.27 USD

Liners ship from U.S. & you'll be responsible for duties & taxes upon delivery.

Order for fronts only would be manually entered & payment would have to be by credit card.’

🤨 This might help folk make their mind up.

Thanks Ceefeesh, shipping seems a bit steep and then there`s a good chance of having to pay duties too.

Maybe someone could set up a group buy  :wink:

I`ve bought those in the past, just the fronts and they were about £26ish. They fit reasonably well but you get what you pay for I guess as the quality isn`t that good, they were thin and plasticy.

I had the front 4 windows tinted today, the small triangles behind the wing mirrors and the 2 doors. Just to lessen the divide between the front and 90% rears.

Is that legal? Always thought the front door windows had to be clear like the windscreen!

It's not, but sure we're all a little illegal.
