and then i stared to work on a few interia mods

Done a little on the interia the past few weeks, added white cathodes to front and rear foot wells, looks really class,

with the help of bobby the window switchs and steering controls are now red. just got to sort the bum warmers and climate control unit and i've finished on the light conversion.





pics dont do this lights justice, they are so LUSH in real life
