a big thanks to someone who may or may not want to be named but as a result of there genorosity i have now fitted with the 12v socket fitted inside not so easy as some ahem had glued it so it took a lot of swearing to finally get it out and refitted
this left my centre console led spare so i did this instead
and i decided to add these to take the plainess away from the sides and tie everything in

looks very tidy mate,
i wish i had the same ammount of Red S'es that you have lol but their not cheap.
some silvatec w5w bulbs would look good in your side repeaters too.

new side repeaters on order with a smokey tint i get the 5quid s badges from ebay they look the same as fords
only thing i do notice is the garage door doesnt sit flush even though its in correctly then i had a dumb moment and realised if it was flush it wouldnt have room to push open duh

That has really dressed up your dash.

Early Christmas?

Thanks, makes a lot of sense.
A Citroen Xsara I used to own had the same thing but never knew what it was for.
They should put these things in the handbook, for geeks like us who want to know...

[size=5][color=#0000FF]It make sense, But has anybody had a look behind the slots to see what is there?

Sometimes these slots house a microphone connected to the radio to adjust the volume as the cabin noise rises.[/color][/size]

thats possible also as mine does go up dependant on road noise

[color=#0000ff][size=5][font=comic sans ms,cursive]That cone shape from the slots does appear to have a purpose or it would not have that shape, maybe it only has a use on some trim levels, or does it funnel noise or air to some other sensor?

it could be for climate control and normally house a small fan that sucks the air in to check humidity and interior temp
