That's clean as mate!! Lose the monster tacho though :p I had one for a while but didn't see reason for 2 tachos, then again you have a manual so it might serve purpose, still though verrry tidy VL!! It's cool to see stock setups every now and again

Is it genuine interior for this VL? Or someone threw it in there? My boss's seats are the same shape just different colour, red and dark grey. I just thought it was just a rare VN calais thing
