Looks great. But you desperately need to get your steering wheel retrimmed in purple. :colors: I bet Royal Steering Wheels could do it for you.

Also if you interested in bhr undertray I spoke to Charlie he can send it over will cost 40 dollar postage it end it up cheaper than other shops over here. Just a heads up if you want to go that route. Just his colour don't work for me so I will give mine to bex to paint
