Great Transformation! The Comfort Seats that where up to 06 which came from BMW are better than the new ones...

 

GREAT and seamless transformation, well done!
good thing it came in the correct colour from the start

 

I did not realize this. It must have been for the refresh, 2010, that they switched the badging. I know prior to that, HSE had green and SC had black. Thanks for the update.

 

Someone else PM'd me about the cost as well. I'll dig out the invoices and post up as much info as I can in the next few days as I'm sure others are interested.

I'm not a fan of the SC grilles. I prefer the triple vent style of the 2010 models, which is why i got them instead.

I did consider having the mirrors painted whilst it was in the workshop, but I decided that it would look a little odd.

Yep, they are from the 2011 model year cars.

 

Any plans of exhaust tips like the S/C model ?

 

Just spent £3000 on a new gearbox for it, so it will be a while before I consider doing anything else to it.

Must say, it's probably the best all round vehicle I've ever had. Great for long journeys, loads of cargo space, can sit in the back with a big video camera. Only downside is the fuel consumption, although it does have an LPG conversion which is currently disconnected.
