Got the new Designo interior today inc facelift door panels. Real leather in soft and no darn tex mex ****. Cost for all was $1500 Totally Worth it.





And the door panels with the Wood that I like so much compared to the ugly ALU. And leather with stiching.

You mentioned Star Diagnose to change from F to C. How do I get a hold of that or do I have to pay someone at the dealership to do this for me?

Also, where are you getting all these parts for so cheap? Share your secret! :-)
