      I was going to mount a window switch and a heated seat switch on either side in the rear quarter panels. As I don't think there will be room for 4 switches where the ashtray is in the coupe.

        not enough space, either to have them angled inside of the ashtray or flat going towards the front of the car.

        They either hit the handbrake or the transmission tunnel and that is without the plugs on the back.

          Yup definately not enough space there, i've already cut apart an ash tray to try (and won't ever do that again, the fumes from the plastic made me ill)

          I might put them in my armrest back when I do that.

                          It's not always been sweetness. One month after purchase I had to stump for a full camshaft replacement (all four), 30 tappets, chains, tensioners, gaskets and belts (including tensioner, waterpump and stat)
                          At least the paranoia has gone.

                          I lied, I have to replace the drivers side Recaro seat trim as previous owner broke it.
