Not too much CF now! Looks poor otherwise.

Steering wheel surround comes off with 3 torx round the back of the wheel.

Very happy with my stealth motor now the Sway bars are done , crazy quick after its remap too.

Changed the five dash bulbs tonight, looking bright as a button. ☺️
One thing I have forgotten how to do, is setting the dash clock! Having a brain seize moment.

Winter Wheels are arriving on Monday. Onward & Upward!

My dash clock changes automatically when I set the clock on my stereo head unit. Mine's an original non-nav head unit.

......and who will drive the car once I get picked up & banged up for pretending to be copper? Lol

On a different note, I had the X5 in for one of those 4wheel laser alignment jobbies (Where you get a print out of how bad it actually was), and it drives better than great now!!!! The Before measurements were around 85-90% were out of tolerance, the After (and by that, I mean after they had to use a bit of heat to 'persuade ' an adjustment), everything was in the green!
Well worth getting it done!!!
