Nice, I was thinking the same, I painted my Skoda wheels Vauxhall Smoke Grey it's and anthracite sort of colour and looks awesome with red and white. This is the colour to give you an idea.

Yeah they look sweet dude the colour I've picked is like a custom anthracite,it pops when in the light almost like a pearlescent.Don't get me wrong black on white look spot on but thought why not just hope I'm not making a big mistake lol :think:

Cheers dan it was a choice out of Black,Blue and the White went to see this one and just had to have her. Personally i like the pfl dash i would change the climate control area if one came up to fl type. But in all honesty I'd rather put the money into other mods.

White is by far the best colour....... :whistle:

Plans sound good, but that list will more than double by the time you finish with it :D

When I read that I thought you ment the climate control dials too ha ha. Thats a really good price the grill.

When I was looking for mine it had to have the BTCC kit on and my colours were Yellow,Blue,Red or White. Our lass didn't want a yellow one after seeing one, I liked the red but white sealed the deal when our lass said she loved it.

Removed and inspected my diverter valve currently the car is running a rev G, looks ok but for the small cost i will order and replace with a rev D.Reason being I'm aware that these can and will fail over time and as the car has done 41k it's time for a new one. Plus I'm curious to see if there is any difference between the two.

Get yourself a Rev G. There is plenty of info and many many pics demonstrating the difference, plus the G is cheaper
