I’ve added a cheap yet very useful upgrade for the interior.  Always had gunk get around the 12v socket on the centre console. So bought one of these off a well known auction site. Worth every penny I think, looks OEM

Soundaktor was rattling the dash like mad so wedged some foam under the bracket with the help of this forum and Youtube.
Just about managed to wrangle the bolt without removing wipers - fiddly! The bolt was also finger loose at first which explains the rattle  :shocked:

Controversially I like it on as with the music turned up to 11 at least I get some feedback.

Changed back to my BBS's, put in my spinning centre caps and gave it well overdue wash.

Bar the number plate it's not an edited photo, I tried Koch Chemie WetGloss for a second time now that by Gyeon Cure has worn off and found it a lot better and glossier.

Is that standard ride height? Can you recall the wheel spec? Looks awesome
