@Mnbrennan I've a quick question for you mate.
When you removed the Amber lens did you replace it with a clear one or fit the unit back together without a lens.
I was testing it out the other day on an old headlight that I removed from my other z3 and everything came off very easily but it looks odd without a lens.
Cheers.

It does look odd initially, especially off the car but when I first saw it like this on @Grumpy's car I liked it. It works well on a customised Z like Reggie or Smurf with but on a stock Z you might find it out of place. Not seen it on a light coloured Z before, just pop them in and see how it looks on the car.
You could try smoking the amber lense with laminx or a spray for a darker lense look which I thought about and will probably do one day for a change, can't keep it the same for too long you know!
Sorry for OT!
Yep same as mine. Not seen another other than mine until now.
I saw your steering wheel today at Jack's!
And?
What I would do Faheem, is get some very bright silver paint and an artists brush and paint the black plastic "rings" and then they would blend in more.

Ah cheers @Mnbrennan good to know it got there safely. 
Took almost a week!
@t-tony that's a good idea, I'll give it a go, wouldn't the heat from the light bulbs cause the paint to deteriorate though?

Doubt it .

Had some more parts delivered today. A full extended leather dash, centre console and door cards
Today I cleaned and fitted the gaitors and door cards. Much nicer I think!

Sweet just need one of southern boys gear stick surrounds to tidy up the center console or butchering and borrows the one from your coupe
I don't think @Southernboy has any left but he may do another run if you ask him @Mnbrennan! If not I have one that needs polishing that I was going to do until Barry did me an anodized black one, which is gorgeous by the way. If I have the time I could possibly polish it for you if you wanted!! JIM
Could the alloys have been straightened or were they too far gone?
Interior is looking great Martin. Your poor coupe isn't getting a look in!
