Added sound deadening to the rear 3/4.
Not too bad a job, but it helps to be slight of build and flexible.
All went back together easily.
I did notice that the white retaining clips don't have the rubber washers like the front door cards. So if you get and rattles from there, that might be it.
I added a couple of foam strips near loose wires while I was there to prevent possible rattles.

These arrived just after I completed the sound deadening.
Now installed. Sounds amazing!

That's very annoying but it looks from the photo that you could get away with a simple paint touch up, although I've no idea what the colour ref. of the wheels would be.

I've got a scheme for touch-ups, so I'll just colour it in with a marker for now.
Black Sharpie covers up small kerb marks nicely, at least well enough to make them invisible from more than a few feet away. But only a temporary solution.
If anyone finds out the exact colour ref for the wheels, I will get hold of some proper touch up paint. Although they look satin black, they almost have a hint of blue to them.

Easy enough. I used iPhone camera with translate for the Japanese instructions as well as the 2 videos on YouTube. It goes higher up the window than you’d expect otherwise the corners of the boot lid catch it. Use painters tape to line up and don’t go too high with the supplied primer. Apparently 3M takes 24hrs to cure to 90% but 72hrs to get to 100% so factor that in with washing/rain. Was £207 from Fensport with Gr-Zoo 5% discount.Oooh this is on my to do list

The staff at Podium will be thinking these things are a bit common at this rate. I’ve dropped in for a mid drive coffee there with mine on 3 occasions already!

Nice knob. Where did you get it?
Threw the 45kg dog in the back yesterday and had an explore round the Old Transport Research Lab banked curve. Sadly (but probably sensibly) you can get cars anywhere near the track.
Then took a run down the M4 early doors this morning for some sunrise photos in Chepstow.

Where did you get the mats from?

Thank you. Got it from fellow member @Warren, I believe it came from States. It is 42 grams heavier than stock. (196g vs 238g)
This morning I took it for a drive and you can feel extra weight. Makes gear shift feel more satisfying and purposeful. Very happy with it.
