I broke my wrist 5 weeks ago and I'm not allowed to drive so eBay has been my nemesis of late, I can't help myself need to update the interior of my Octy Sport.

New VRS steering wheel and airbag (may de-logo vrs), electric window chrome switches, chrome auto electric mirror switch and chrome auto headlight switch. I've had the pedals fitted for a year or more but I wish they had comes as standard because the cockpit looked drab before, next is a new gear shifter, I'm well happy!

Nice.

 

I am keeping my eye on these at the minute.

 

A bargain for cat-vision / W8 lights

Are they a straight swap then? I just changed all the bulbs to LED!

You'll need an adapter to find a switched live, but I think they're fairly straight forward to swap.

It's not a feed for switched live you need, instead it's from the interior instrument lighting circuit, the easiest being behind the light switch.

 

This way the LED's are only on with other instrument lights and can also be dimmed using the normal dial

What he said. Splice it onto a wire behind the light switch and run it up the a pillar to the light. Wrote a summary on cat light fitting years ago on here if you search.

Looks good.

 

Silver centre console also lifted the interior in my old Elegance

 

If you've got a Stream or Bolero in there, I have the brushed aluminium one for sale

Is it me or is your vRS badge squint?

Have you replaced the hazard light switch yet? FL one is straight swap and I think looks lot better than the standard red one in the pre FL.

If you do take the VRS badge off and it comes off cleanly, can I buy it please?

I started to remove it then decided not to, the photo is not taken straigh but maybe it is a little squint, I'll have to look now. Not done the Hazard switch swap, that hasn't crossed my mind to be honest.

If I do then I'll let you know.
