Gonna look mint! Some nice work there.

I bit the bullet last weekend and changed the door cards over. Can happily say that the clips that hold gen5 cards on compared to gen3 are substantially stronger! My fingers did not like me after pulling the 4 cards off.
Took me way longer than I anticipated, 2.5 hours. But they look amazing.
Swapped over the carbon trims from my car, as they're black carbon, and the tS ones are silver. Also found that the tS models didn't get 4x auto windows, so had to swap over the window control trims, as well as the patch looms on the inside of the cards, as the wiring is different. Drivers door card now has seat memory buttons, but after looking at the schematics for this in the FSM, its not a simple thing to make work. I'll get there, but it's not gonna happen soon. Need a few plugs and wiring changes, plus it needs to be programmed into the body control module, hopefully its something I can use FreeSSM to sort out. Haven't looked too much further on this yet.
Also haven't cleaned them up properly yet, as it was getting late.



Was planning on swapping at least the front 2 seats, but it took way too long to get the cards swapped, so they're still covered in plastic in the shed. Standby for the next update in a month or so...

Next collection of parts was shipping out earlier this month, but on the slow boat, so might see them in another month or 2...

Yeah, I really should Bennie, but its one of those things that sort of goes by the wayside when there's babies and toddlers around unfortunately.
New mods look amazing, I especially like the 4 wheel discs. Thats a substantial upgrade right there, and keeping 4x100 is good too. Saves a lot of extra expense of wheels etc. The finer touches of logos and badges is great as well.
All in all, looks like you had a great trip, have to say I'm a little jelly to be honest!
Glad the issues were minor, and easily fixed, although the wheel nuts are a little scary...

If you need any oddball OEM parts or wiring for your conversion, you know where to ask.

Cheers,

Can't wait to see your photos, glad to hear she made it there with minimal issues as well! Would love to get to this event in the future!

Seats and eyesight roof liner rocked up last week, but everything is still packaged up, as I've had some dramas with the youngest involving a hospital stay for a few days. All is good on that front now though, so hoping to get into the shed on the weekend and fit most of the good shite thats rocked up over the last couple months.
We'll see how we go there though, got lots of jobs that still need doing around the house.

No photos of the goods yet though, as they're all still literally in boxes. I only had enough time to pull them out of the car yesterday and put them in the shed, despite receiving them tuesday last week 🤦

Anyways, besides that, car has been going great, getting around 730km to a tank (last fill was 51 litres), which is downright amazing.

Cheers,
Ben
