Needs a bit of a polish. :thumb:

Only downside is no space for the mobile.

bit of aluminium.

B&Q sell it fairly cheaply.

I'm gonna fit a blade fuse box in the top bit hidden away and the bottom is have the eject button and on off switch from the xbox. Gonna cut it off the front then extend the wires from the front passenger parcel shelf.

Xbox is gonna be mounted without a case with the front faced off with more aluminium with just a slot for the drive.

Toggle switches are gonna go at the top for some rear leds in the boot grab handle, front fogs, and interior neons, tv screen and secret front mounted spy cam ;)

Tyre deflating tacks and smoke screen need adding too.

lol didnt think about that.. already got one of them.

It works even better if you fit the wrong oil filter and then hammer it to 90mph. (not that i condone speeding on a highway)

It shoots off better than an israel rocket propelled grenade.

what kind of mobile you got? Cut a slot in the bottom area and stick the mobile into it - get a cradle for it and graft the cradle to the underside of the console - so the mobile slots in and slots out...

Slight update on the switch panel.
I butchered my xbox and have got the eject button an on button panel off.
I need to extend the wires but I'm gonna fit it below the electric window switches and underneath that I'm gonna have the four xbox controller leads coming out.

Pictures will follow soon.

A little progress with my switch panel.

Xbox is stripped down and removed of plastic casing.
On off and eject button have been taken apart and I've also cut the original plastic part of the switch out the front of the xbox for mounting in my aluminium switch panel.
