    I can't help agreeing, not to mention I reckon it looks a bit on the naf side - and the black grill - well. I think an intervention is needed before Mysticality completely boganises her RS to the point it is indistinguishable from an inner city rice burner.

    As for a place for driving light switches - I have a few blank spots in the row of switches below the heater controls. Not ergonomically a good spot and I don't know how to get in there yet, but it would look factory.

    Her? XD

    I need to clean all of the black stuff off and redo it properly. Again.
    And it is not boganised!!... I haven't lowered it like a "low-lux", I haven't given it massive subwoofers, etc. XD

    The things I need to do, though, are a UHF and some hidden spotties/LED light bar, for all this long distance stuff. Its at 22,000km now, after about 6 months of ownership. A lot of it is at night, and in convoys with other people in 4WD's. >.<

    One thought is possibly finding some ACTUAL stock switches for under the Climatronic, but then it'd only be a soft switch not a hard switch, which would be a problem.

    Oh, sorry. Don't know where I got the idea that you are a woman. Maybe the Kia photo?

    Rice is different from bogan but in this case, I think you've nailed it. It's like Fried Rice, a dish that is easily available in any Aussie Chinese restaurant but never heard of in China.

    I look at what Mysticality is doing with his car & cringe - especially when he can't be shagged fixing a flat tyre but has time to stuff about with inconsequential stuff.

    Oh well, it isn't my car, I don't have to drive it or look at it, so if he's happy then good luck to her.

    At the risk of sounding like a prat, let's keep this forum above the level of discourse of some others.

    We've all bought Skodas because we are a bit individual so let's respect that individuality and keep negative opinions to ourself unless solicited.
