Are the console panels modular?

[Wayneos]

FYI (For Your Information)
[EDITED: Yes big f*ck for me too, don't like it! Dissapointed ]

Well I suppose that's one way of keeping the panel water resistant, less gaps that may develop over time between all those small individual panels and screw holes. Still disappointed they aren't removable and movable.

Maybe another thing for the aftermarket to address. Other than that, you could cut it into individual panels... assuming those screws actually fasten into some kind of frame back there.

This os extremely disappointing, I had plans

Take it off, cut along the lines, do what you want and then put a backing board on to fasten them to
Fasten the backing board back where this panel came from
There you go
a new plan

The new plan is workable but fiddly dodgy and messy. Plan a) was so neat.

Single panel = less squeaks

It is a link to their yacht team and Toby's design background is in boats

It's a nod to the best position for the steering wheel
"The term starboard derives from the Old English steorbord, meaning the side on which the ship is steered. Before ships had rudders on their centrelines, they were steered with a steering oar at the stern of the ship on the right hand side of the ship, because more people are right-handed"

This is true

I often drive with a nice pair of gloves on when I am off to the theatre or opera

So do I. About once every 20 years.

These are a standout in a sea of fashionistas. They have the dual capacity of blocking sight and sound of opera.

So there appear to be a number of differences from earlier versions:

1. Hopefully just the photo but all the graphics look like they are 20 years old and badly faded/worn.
2. On the Audio dial/button the word Mute has moved from centre aligned to top aligned.
3. On the Temperature dial/button the word Auto has moved from centre aligned to top aligned.
4. Window Heating has changed to Window Demist (clarifies that issue for good).
5. Fan no longer goes to 4 but Max.
6.

I think you’ll find there are more backlit parts of the panel in production models than the earlier PT ones. Some if the press photos show this. Hence the duller labels are probably backlit so not solid white painted like the promo images. A good improvement in my opinion.

Good point.

Changes referenced above seem to have been done earlier as well. This is a PTO2 vehicle:

and before anyone asks
No you can't option different colours for the backlighting
Submarine red is out

Big assumption, if it transpires it is all one piece, why would they fit in the back and not just be dummies...

What a mind of information. Thats why the UK drives on the left. It goes back to the days of chivalry, most men were right handed so walked on the left side of the road (track) with there lady companion on the inside (on the Left) and they were able to draw their sword this way and defend themselves from highway men and attackers. The rest of the world didn't give a toss about their companion!!

It's a toss of the coin historically!

Left- and right-hand traffic​

Most men were unwashed peasants with cloth or hide wrapped around their feet and they took a bath on their birthday if they felt they needed one.
A few owned a sword and they only wished to protect the woman so they could get her somewhere so they could soil her loins
