Changing interior trim

Sometimes I prefer the XK. That was a lot more discreet and you could get around quickly. Having an attention whore car causes numerous problems when driving, so much that it is now purely a weekend jobbie.
Things like, travelling along the motorway and people levelling off with you and hovering up until you approach a car in your own lane where you need to slow down.
Staring in car parks putting you on the spot.
People trying to mess you about on the road for fun due to jealousy.
Can't pick your nose discreetly.
Scared to leave it parked in places.
Stupidly expensive parts. Front pads are £250 from a dealer. Crosses over to a Toureg 6.0 which costs £45.

I added a touch of satin black vinyl on my dash to break up the silver I panels I fitted in place of the fake carbon, and it looked pretty good imho.
Piano black will look really classy though, would be my choice vs wood every time.

I had to change my brakes the other weekend - the Pagid OE pads can be had for £95. Piano black too!
I agree with this in the Porsche I have had idiots in banged up evo pulling level with the fella in the passenger window dropping it and screaming out can we have a race? With the driver revving his engine and acting the tool. Funny thing was we were in traffic it was quite late in the evening and I had the mrs in the passenger seat.
I have had far more issues in the porsche in 3 years than I have in 7 driving around in our little run about corsa. Oh and the porsche has been off the road for about half of my ownership.

Surprisingly easy. For anyone that comes here via google. Pull off the trim, it's only clipped. On each side of the sat nav pull away the plastic until the sat nav drops back down. Unclip PRND and done. You only need a Phillips and torx for the transfer of the bits.
Too scared to. Worried that the refurb won't last very long. Apparently they show signs of wear after a year.
LCD is a pogo GPS
Well it was the Royal Wheel one where I was reading about it wearing out after a year
