Thanks for all the nice things you guys have said about my car, the workshop is clinically clean lol, it's not even a year old yet and gets cleaned by professional cleaners every weekday, Porsche host quite a few events for the owners club here so it needs to be kept that way for when the owners have a tour, always goes down well :-D

How'd you get the plastic cover off the interior lights? Wouldn't mind changing mine! And what bulbs should I use?

Just got a little precision flathead screwdriver and levered them out, you have to get the whole unit out, not just the plastic cover and just the same bulbs as your sidelights mate, I used some leftover blue led ones I had but you can get many different colours. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/nvlighting/T10-...34.c0.m322
That guy has quite a good selection on there and reasonably priced
