    Dash trim trivia

    This is really bugging me, i have two carbon trims for the dash, a LHD and a RHD version.

    Odd thing is the RHD version is about an inch longer. It fits the car but does anybody know why they are different sizes?

    I assumed the dash was a mirror image

    i think there might be twin air vents by the doors in the LHD cars - for some reason we only got one?
    .. could be wrong though...

          makes far more sense to have two at each side, don't understand why we only got one

              LHD have two vents on both sides, RHD has one vent on the drivers side

                So they do, well spotted

                Still doesn’t explain the dash trim difference

                  The vents must be a different size or design, as the centre section must be the same as on RHD cars, bang in the middle of the car
