Lets just prey they don't have the R&D funds to tool up for a RHD version !

It would fit RHD fine... but I'll give it a miss myself. Sure that's not a con BTW.

looking at the shape of the centre console the LHD cars are different to our RHD cars:

note how the "taller/bigger" dash vent is always nearer the driver, and the lowest part of the radio surround is below the volume knob on the LHD, yet is underneath the preset buttons on the RHD.

As i say - lets hope the RHD version is never made - at least in that fake effect wood :)

You do seem to be right on that....

And if the dash isn't enough - just look at what else you can stick wood trim to:

Hey im really interested in this.... do you think they will do the bits to go along the sides.... that will really complete the 1970's american station wagon look we all strive for.

Come on lets all go RETRO :roflmao:

Those pics have really given me a good chuckle... thanks :happy:

I would like a bit to protect the top of the bumper by the boot like the last picture. But I certainly wouldn't go for that.

Did I say, I think I did, that my bit of rubber door seal has gone at the back, bottom left. There is a joint which isn't looking in good condition then 1/2" back the rubbers looking a bit worse for wear. The SEAT guy said "no problem", his looked like that as well..... I might plonk some windscreen sealant on it that I use to repair my LNB cap on the dish after the magpies have pecked it off.

I got an ice box that I pull out the back to open the lid and may be that has nicked it.... hmmmm.

I might treat myself to a chrome exhaust pipe like yours:). We'll see.
