Mine is the all in one the separates are cheaper.
I think the 3stripes are little less halfords than the M// logo
But it's all personal choice

Like a lot of parts pony they have shot up on the last year but I'm happy.
2.231.562 just so everyone is clear this is a complete installation kit including the extra loom to wire into the car.
I think you can buy the gear knob as an individual part without the loom but I like things oem not scotch locked on to another wire

These are the other parts it comes with

These pins come with a plug case too which I forgot to take a picture of.
You cut the light fitting off from the ash tray and attach the pins/plug

Then plug in the new loom with the new light fitting attached and reassemble.

Here's one of the other things I treated myself too.

Luckily when I replaced my back box I managed to find a bosal box so the pipes are perfect fit

11.9.401.456 £31.50 + vat for the pair you can get them I'm smoked chrome too.
They are only a push fit so you need to make sure the pipes are the right size or they could be loose/slack

Iv not really done a lot bought it nearly 3 years ago as a scrapper.
Took it for an mot and it only need a small patch of weld where someone had jacked under the floor.
Everything else has been service items and extras iv added trying to have every extra you could have fitted.
Not many items left really just needs heated seats and everything leathered lol

Are the badges different then? Non would be good. I have a gear knob from rav coming my way, I'm tempted to make it illuminated so if anyone has a part no for the illuminated badge that would be great to.
