Many thanks anchorman!
Now, where are my pipe and slippers?
Saved £50 cost at the dealers.
Just wish I could find instructions to install the auto door mirrors ....
BTW - you don't have to unplug the "Sport" switch; it stays in place.

The folding mirror kit is fifty quid off SG Petch. It's only a relay inside the door and I've probably got the PDF for getting the panel off.

Thanks anchorman. Flushed with success, I might have a go at the mirrors.

Armrest looks nice noticed some on other sites but needed to drill 4 holes to fit securely.

Think it only cost about £100 through the main dealer to get the Walk Away Folding Mirror figment done .

Yeah, thats OK but if your willing to dabble and the kit is cheap, you could save a bit maybe?

Seriously considering one of these, but how obvious are the screw caps on the rear of the centre console?

My main fear is the arm rest hindering the use of the command control knob.

You don't notice the screw caps, the armrest folds up but you just change your arm angle to use the command knob in normal use, having said that the armrest is adjustable so you can have it slanted down towards your knob :lol: (so to speak)

I found using the small command knob a pita after my arm rest was installed....

So I use the volume rocker on the wheel much more now.
