Thanks for the feedback guys. I am not fond of chrome as I wait for high gloss shadow line. I am a bit unsure if I should have M5 grill or have painted this in high gloss also. M5 mirrors is unfortunately expensive and costs in Norway ca. $ 3500 USD.

Has installed 248 Heated steering wheel, 319 Integrated garage door opener and CIC. I need to code CIC unit and I am working on a solution that prevents slippage between the pre-LCI Panel on Climate Change and the CIC cover. I will keep dividers updated on this!

In the meantime, some pictures of the result.

Comments or suggestions?

Is it possible to retrofit front AUX with CIC, or do i need Combox?

Here is the solution of the gaps between LCI cover and pre-LCI climate control panel in combination with CIC.. More pictures will come after the installation of CIC.
