Well Bit of an update with a few new bits added!
I got a VCDS Lead just to have a play with and help others out:
I added the Auto-door lock feature when driving off @ 15mph or 15km/h which ever one is correct. I tried to add the fog lights to activate when cornering but it wouldn't allow me i needed a different module at a cost of approx 200 quids , save that for another day...
I was able to activate my friends, which is a 2008 ed30 & it works great.
I haven't had a chance to run logs but i will soon!

Silver ashtray lid stuck on, just to see if i liked it, it adds abit of something different to that area, it was only the sticky type one but i have a different idea already to put in its place
Added in the OSIR suede gear stick gator, that wasn't to easy, i had taken it apart & wish i didn't start it so late in the evening,

, but i accomplished it OK... I was very careful as i didnt want to be left using the bare gear stick.
I put the gear stick up in to 3rd gear & levered the bottom part out, then the clips that held it in place came undone,
I give the gear stick a bit of a pull & off it came...
Now to take it apart, i removed the ring piece that held the gear knob on, Un-clipped the clips that held the bottom part of the gator to the plastic surround. Now in pieces ..I had to rebuild it with the new gator, a bit of cutting was needed put it together. A few Staples where added in the same place as the original one, i had popped it together and added a bit of sticky tape over the clips just in-case as it was a tight fit ( we all like to hear that ) and put the sliver surround back on & re-fitted back in the car...

The hand brake cover is from an ed30 quite easy to take off & put back on. Nice touch with the red stitching...
Next up was the chrome headlight switch, push, turn, out it came & disconnected the wire, re-connected the new one & pushed it back in easy as!
Drivers door interior handle changed with the chrome window & mirror adjuster switches no need for the door card to be removed for this side...

As for the passenger side door, it needed the door card removed 4 screws 3 along the bottom 1 up the side & 2 bolts in behind the door handle with the trim removal tools pop, pop, pop around where you see the plastic type screws then of with the door-card, disconnected the electrics to the window switch to give a bit more room. Then another 2 screws holding the door handle screwed on the back or was it 3. Old one off, new one on, with the chrome switch.
Put back together in reverse order!
