Will keep you update it on everything.
So i take it you're going to modify the centre trim to house the new controller? That seems like a very brave task man, let us know how that works out, and good luck!

What did you do with the (wood) trim below this part?
Is it possible to remove it from the old CCC part and put in on the new CIC part?
I have ordered the complete package from Patrys, can't wait for it to arrive

JWD,
+1 based on what Nelson said. You've got a great interior. This mod will do wonders for your car and as you probably already know, Patryk is great to work with. I'm also waiting on my CIC etc. Nelson has been paving the way for us on this.
