PICT1441.JPG (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=18116&d=1185618842) the only way to get it looking smooth and matching up so well is to be obsesive about it. keep test fitting it back into the car so you can see if it looks right, then sanding back those extra few mm's, fit it again then add a little filler somewhere else...............................you get the idea, thats why it takes soooooo long, but i think it was worth it?

See, the heater controls are on the left of the gauge thus its on the drivers side of the centre consol, also its angled directly at your eyes so you only have to glance at it PICT1444.JPG (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=18160&d=1186046452) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah I though he was referring to the latest yellow VL posted, which is my car. He probably should�ve stipulated. By the way my car is yellow and is an original BT1, not just yellow stitching.......
