Nice glovebox handle!
Something I added the past week, Lakin (from Tassie!) front and rear number plate holders & protectors. I had to call Philip from Lakin Plates to order though, since the website doesn't really work for custom stuff like the front holder, but Phillip knew exactly what was necessary and in 1.5weeks, got these in the post (he said it would take about a week as he had to get them fabricated!!):
Front (good one, replaces giant plastic thing that in NSW only fits one non-customised white Euro of the hundred or so different plate styles we have here), much nicer profile than the big plastic thing:
Rear (boring one, plate holder can't be seen but does a nice job of holding plate & protector without screw holes at outer extremities of large Euro plate into the bumper):
Quite happy with these, wish I did the front one day one, since the stock plastic holder left rub marks on the bumper even with minimal km's/age, and I wasn't happy with the dealership placement of the plates so moved them up a bit, leaving 4 holes in the bumper thanks to the long screws they used grr. Mind you, I had the traditional b&w 6 digits plates day one, till I found out that you can re-style to any plate with just a one off fee (stupid RTA... when I swapped the old plates I have had since about 21years of age to my Golf, they implied any new plate style would be an annual fee, till later I found out about restyling which avoids any annual fee if you aren't paying one already from myplates.com.au NSW).
edit: p.s. sneaky RTA, I wondered why the black surface on these new plates had a weird reflection on the few peoples cars I had seen, when I took photos of this new fitment at night it all became clear, look at how easy it is to identify the number with the LED flash that my SGSII uses (and thus, assume with any speed/red light camera flash, or perhaps even with IR light):
