Job sortedHaha I didn't fit it, I just stood there and watched as someone I know did because the biggest thing I could probably do is service a car at this point in time hahaAnd I was thinking just paint the mirrors for now as most cars have black plastic around the mirrors anyway, centre consoles look a bit tacky colour coded in my opinion, even though I'm about to stickerbomb mine haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
