i haven't fitted it yet, its still sitting in the box.

i bought one of the universal kits and trial fitted it. no problem with the front doors, sliding door isn't a major issue once you have the contact terminals but the boot door is the problem.

i think i'll have to keep and eye out for an original central lock for this.

You need to get yourself a set of blue tinted indicator lenses now too and clear rear lenses. Looking great though!
