The 1st little mod I did  :grin: :P




A brushed aluminium ashtray cover popped on eBay
found it bit strange that the edition 30 doesn't come with a brushed aluminium ashtray but some k03 gti do :thinking:
small little touch but works really well :smiley:

had to get a "edition 30" decal  :P :innocent:

along with 2.2metres mk5 interlagos tartan in 2016 with the help of @MateyGuv







At this point you may have some sort of idea what I've got planned  :innocent:

Optimus trimmers are really known I'm sure @MateyGuv can vouch for them?
