I've stitched them together and uploaded them. Excuse the dust/debris from the workshop.
Can you spot which new parts I've yet to fit?

When that particular detailer puts the necessary time and effort in he does a really good job. With that said, him and I don't talk anymore and my life is all the better for it .
What was with going Parrot over phone/BT prep? Have you had it in there for years (RNS-D)?

Yup, the Parrot's an original part (dealer-fit option, I believe). I replaced the RNS-D with RNS-E a few years back, but kept the Parrot as a sort of nostalgic trophy (plus didn't want to risk damaging the dash after previously taking the time/effort to reposition it higher up on the eyeline and then plumb it all in through the dash).
If I was using the car more often, then I'd probably want to de-clutter and fit the OEM BT module, but it's more of a museum piece than anything now!
