cheers mate an d hope everything is ok with yours 
bit of an up date
dash in and most fittings are back on but not all as i need to fit dccd
the center console had screw marks on the side so instead of getting a new one i recovered it in suede and done some stitching in blue to match the trim
also cut the *** lighter and *** tray out and cut a panel out of some carbon i had left in the garage ready to fit the dccd screen and thumb wheel 
not best pics as the first two make the dash look charcoal and different colour to the panel i trimmed


this last pic shows the true colour and match to dash which is not far off

If you dont mind me asking, where did you get your gear lever surround ( the part that clamps the leather gaiter to the centre console)? As in the pic you have with your anti lag switch.
Hello mate, Im new on here and i have a 2000 standard P1 and i had a little accident last nyt, i have seen the pics of your front bumper and its the same so was just wondering where you got it from.....? would be much help. look forward to hearing from you. thanks

thanks mate
been doing a bit tonight and removed my apexi turbo timer ready to sell on.
the carbon panel i rigged up never went to plan as when i made the hole for the dccd controler it made the gel coat look rough on the edges and slight gaps so ended up trimming it with the suede and looks great i must say
so will get pics up soon as plus i will also be giving my back shelf the suede make over
