Got started on this to today.
There were some creaks and squeaks coming from the dash and a couple of bulbs out.
I stripped down the centre console.

Replaced the bulbs in the heater panel and cig light. I swapped the heater panel front with the one from the estate as the one on the '6 had a bit missing from the AC button and there were cracks in the black vinyl that allowed light to come through when the lights were on. So the only good part that came on the estate got swapped out on to this car.
The back of the silver panels I attached some foam tape and cloth tape to stop the plastic creaking noises. I also re-positioned the passenger airbag as that would creak to. There was a bolt missing from the passenger side of the dash that allowed the dash to move about a little so fixed that and the dash was better fixed.

Bloody N/S/F spring broke when moving the car off the drive. Gutted, but I've got some Eibach springs and Bilstein B8 to go on but I would have liked to have back to back them with the standard setup.
You can't really see anything here but I took a photo anyway.

I also got around to fitting the OEM centre section of the exhaust.
The OEM next to the Klarus. The OEM box is slightly smaller.

Little shied on the OEM box

No weld on the connection piece to the backbox on the OEM. I normally see the pattern systems fail here when that weld rots out.

Can't wait the hear how it sounds once the car is back on the road.
Hopefully sort the suspension out this week in the evenings once I have all the parts.
