E46ste Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E46ste Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Got some m3 fog light surrounds (which I didn't like) they were too big and didn't fit into the recess properly as you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E46ste Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 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] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E46ste Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Bought some Harmann style fog ducts, good quality resin moulded. I wasn't happy with the cheap m3 style ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMJ Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 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? E46ste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192140678667 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RMJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMJ Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thanks for that mate, great find, shame there's none left as I've been looking for this kind of fitment from a duct! E46ste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspire_Dan Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 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.

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.
