Tidied the boot up. Got a boot liner from eBay and bent and sprayed up some ally to keep things tidy in the pockets.

Finished hacking the dash to fit the gauge holder. Just needs wiring. Waiting for a mini toggle switch from eBay. The gauges are just for show really and to make my dash different to the rest. [emoji1360]

Happy with the results, there's a small blemish I've noticed the size of a 5p but I've been back and they've said I need to leave the paint to harden for a month then take it back for a flatten and polish on the area. No one else has noticed though just me lol. For the price I paid I'm very happy. [emoji1360]

looking really clean with all the changes and fresh paint mate, good work with the detailing too!.

Where did you find the Harmann style vents?

Cheers. The ducts were from eBay, they need a bit of prepping and either bonding in or use number plate pads like I did. They hold very well surprisingly.

Lovely progress in here, really like the small touches / modifications. 

Do you mind telling me what xtrons head unit you installed? And what's it like for sound quality? I'm looking to upgrade my own (wedge) double din and don't know much about them so hunting around for ideas.

this is the guy got them off but via ebay, this is his proper webpage, he's a member of the Facebook group too.

Thanks for that mate, great find, shame there's none left as I've been looking for this kind of fitment from a duct!

Cheers mate.

 

The unit is an eonon, its one of the more basic ones (not android), but its still good and does every thing I need it too.

If I was to buy again, I would get an android unit. there faster etc. and you can do lots more on them if you wanted too. Like download apps to it.
