Managed to get the interior panels in tonight,needs a clean after being mauled during fitting but you can get idea
I had to make cut a hole for the c-diff controller switch and mounting the forester pocket was a bit of a ball ache as the stereo brackets doesn't accommodate it so had to have a few trial runs to get the position where I was happy before fixing it in place.
Also fitted the heater rings back in.
Anyway a couple of pics

It's very hard without breaking the retaining lugs Si,warm them up with a hot air gun to make them a bit more pliable

I'll have a little look but I don't want to start breaking bits, if a lug is broken off will it clip back in ok or not quite?

Maybe one to leave alone then, I will have a little look but if it's dodgy they will stay silver.

It would be a big understatement to say that I am really happy with how the centre console conversion has turned out, it really lifts the inside of the car and makes it a far more pleasant place to be.

This has got to be the most worthwhile modification to carry out on a pre MY05 Impreza.

The choice of matt black I think was definitely the best for me, and I am glad that Ryan persuaded me to go with it rather than anything else - or did he give me no choice I can't remember now...

I want some James Bond style gadgets though like missile launchers, oil slicks and an ejector seat.

I haven't seen it in the car yet but I have seen the panels after they had been painted and matt black for me is definitely the best choice.

I will make sure to try to get all 6 gears before I get out of Leominster, but I won't be calling the rozzers for obvious reasons.

I've cut a slot beneath the gaitor so it feel's like it's going into 6th but nothing will happen

I sourced it direct from Cobrasport Exhausts, the quality is really good and I was told by Cobra that it's a direct swap for a Milltek as they have supplied them before.

It was £252 including delivery, VAT and a new gasket but it would be cheaper if you opted for a 2.5" bore pipe size but only by £10.

Hope that helps.
