Interior pics to follow..... and then toying with whats next.... any suggestions..?

For interior my thoughts so far...

Colour coded centre console covers (I have seen these) with perhaps some pale grey leather for back part of dashboard (matching the lighter grey of interior) - has anyone had this done or know where I could it made up? and what sort of cost? ...

Cheers..... Im chuffed at the journey so far...

Not happy .... >:( fitted them really really carefully all was well and then today noticed a small crack (which wasnt there before) in the left hand rear lens ... not sure if its a weakness in the design or a 1 off....

I brought them off ebay so dont think there is anything I can do.... :'(

Gutted - not really noticeable to the naked eye unless up close - but I know its there......

Well i paid £10 for mine, but there is already a small crack in them, just dab a bit of superglue in there to stop the crack getting bigger.

I have plans for my black lexus lights already though! :D :D
