Found a GTi 8 style gear knob, love how it matches the steering wheel design. Got the 6 speed version to future proof it

Had a day of sorting out wiring today, ran some power wires through to the doors ready for the ambient lighting when my door cards come back from having the alcantara treatment

Love the ambient light you have between the upper and lower dash - apologies if I missed it but how have you done that?

New shift knob looks great with the steering wheel :D

Thanks mate, it's from these kits, really thin led strips mounted above the glovebox.

Been told that we are now just 1 week from bringing Lyla home.
She's been in hospital for 132 days. Seems like the longest 4 months of my life.
Finally clicking that car seat into the van was a big moment for me.Image

WoW that has flown by
She sure is a fighter
No doubt she's put on some serious weight and grown to giraffe like proportions
Go team Layla

Your gonna need that light so can see your precious bundle of joy in the back

I remember the first time taking my first baby home from the hospital, she was so content and quiet in her little cocoon of a car seat that we stopped and pulled over like 2 or maybe even 3 times to check she was ok as she was that quiet hahaaa 😆😆😆

All those long trips back n forth to the hospital are all worth it 👍

Congrats 🎉

She's home! Thanks for everyone's lovely messages.
Ignore the oxygen tank, her little lungs haven't quite caught up yet!

Life begins now! Image
