Today I began in a little more earnest.
I started with removal of the drivers cubby/glove box as mines doesn't spring clip back into a locked position which is annoying as it likes to pop open when driving.
I have decided it will become my USB torch charging station and I am also putting in a 24 SMD UV led panel. Basically, my dog is often walked in the dark now, so I have two usb rechargeable Cree tactical torches, a rechargeable collar for the dog and finally, glow in the dark balls.
For the latter part, I'd like to pop the ball into this pocket and as I'm driving, have the UV panel make it nice and bright for the walk.
Onwards with the spring return: I was expecting some obvious marks showing where some clips should be, but nothing! A couple of the kids loom bands and some ingenuity and it's not factory, it's not even great, but it's better than it was for now.
Out popped the window switches and back into the house for some soldering.
I had some great amusement here. Could only find my spade tip & something the size of a bollard plus no braid. I could have packed up and waited, but hell I was eager so I paid maplin prices!
Anyway, photos of the window switch driver and one of the rear.

I also changed the overhead led lights. One of the rear lights is a purplish colour. Might daughter got all excited with the blues and greens and adores purple. And like most females, I have trouble saying no to her. I've stopped short with the footwells though, her side is going green there too.

Lastly, I am replacing the front & rear 12V sockets with dedicated 2x 2.1A usb sockets instead and intended to move a 12v socket to the boot. I only just noticed today, one is already there

So that's me for today. Tomorrow, overhead switches are getting the treatment, maybe the headlights too, I am saving the IPC for Monday when I head to my local maker space for access to some better tools.
I also discovered it is really hard to do some colours justice with a mobile phone camera!
