I can't.
If I leave it white, I'll start adding red Mitzi badges everywhere!
I'm going to paint it the same colour as the car, so it looks like it 'belongs' - mind you, I saw a car with a matte-silver diffuser, and it looked pretty dam' good...

Strictly speaking, I did this last saturday, but never took photos as I hadn't refitted the head-unit
fascia and dash trim (I was waiting for an LX head unit to test), so thanks to Brendan, Younis et al,
here's my 'new' VRX leather steering wheel and gloss-black trim (and of course, the climate-control:
Door trim:
(mind you, that gloss finish scuffs easily...)
Cheers!

You got your leather door trims in the end? How's the LX unit? No navi but appears to work for you

Hey Akram!
The MY2014 (maybe MY2013 too) already come with leather door inserts as standard!
No Nav., but works fine; I'm looking at getting a third-party reversing camera installed - someone on here has posted the pin-outs for the back of the head-unit - I don't like the chunky bracket the OEM one comes with, there's some available that go into the spot where one of your number plate lights are, so they're pretty much invisible...
Has your stuff arrived from Younis yet?

Nah not yet stuff to Perth takes a few extra days, was hoping Friday so I could put it in over the weekend.
Yeah I was reading the reverse camera DIY the one that goes next to license plate is certainly something to do for the future. I did order my evo spoiler from Mars though

Vinyl is good!
Yeah... hear what you saying' about the dash mat - bit of a Grampa' thing really... I actually drove around for a couple of days in the company car with a dahmat I'd picked up for a mate off GumTree, and really liked how it stopped the glare - plus you can put things on the dash and they don't immediately slide off! (good for holding screws when you're dismantling dashboards...)
And Kevin, if you're talking daggy - I was seriously considering putting a vortex generator on the roof this morning...
...but I got over it!
Still after some dummy side vents???

Its primed, so will need to be painted, but with Mars they do make sure their goods are an OEM fit before selling, so not a big deal. bolt holes are already in the boot ready to be drilled. Read the DIY about it
