Hi all, a few questions if I may that I am sure some of you will know of the top of your heads.
1. What does the light next to the window open buttons mean? Not in owners manual. Guessed at door that side is open, but doesn't light up when the door is open and one was on for a whole journey the other day even though doors were shut.



2. Want to do a track day but know my tuscan was 104db so worried about my Cerbera, anywhere near East London/south east in general, I can get to do a dB test so I can work out which tracks or how much noise suppression I need to work on? If you book a track day most just keep your money if you fail the test.

3. Any tips on removing the door sill kick plates, mine have HHC and got some cerbera one to swap over. Assume they are glued but wondered if certain solvent would dissolve the previous stickers.

Cheers all

Mine light up when the headlights/sidelights are on.

I've a sports exhaust with cats and never been pulled for excessive noise. I think you'll only really need to worry if the cats are out too.

Never removed mine, but I've noticed they're held on with a few pop rivets. Unless you mean the logo only?

Thanks a lot! Will check whether the one comes on with the lights (may then just be a bulb out) . The silver door sills seem to be glued on, I thought there would be 2 screws or something but no frown

Cheers for the reply.

Mine are stuck down with double sided tape, that's all you need. The old ones will banana when you pull them off. Some heat may soften up any glue underneath.

If you have standard exhaust and cats noise levels will not be a problem. If it is modified then it depends
