Always wondered what this is....

I know on the 180's they have a vent there, but is that a different shape?

Just curious

On the MK1's it was a vent but there is no vent on the MK2's wether it's a 110 or a 180. It houses a sun sensor on the 180's for the climate control. It looks like a dark red LED but it isn't !

ahh, so its nothing on mine then

was gonna remove it but couldnt see how

No, it's purely a blanking plate like some vacant dashboard switches have. It's basicly used through out the car industry to save them having to make more than one design of dashboard for one model of car !
I havn't removed mine but i'm guessing it needs a cut out that big for a reason !

Models with climate control and a sunlight sensor, but as yours hasn't got climate its just a blanking plate for you to put little leds or what ever you want in it

so its not got access to the vents like the mk1?
