I have only driven it on the day I bought it, I went on the motorway & its nice, Can still hear the radio no problem with no droning noise in the car.

Around town it sounds superb & very adictive.

Bought some metal pressed plates & .:R logo mats with blue piping on them.
Toying with the idea of ordering an oem style Xtrons radio for it as well.

That is good to know about the non res as that's what I was worried about the drone on the motorway

First modification done today.

The old Aerial had been patched up at some point

 

Got a shorter one from an Octavia Estate, Miles better in comparison



And fitted, Still OEM Looks with no compromise on radio reception

Bought s few more bits last week.

Firstly a set of R Logo mats





Even came with a matching one for the boot



Next was an OEM Looking Xtrons Radio for £139.99



All fitted with no issues





Also bought a MK6 Climate panel, Just waiting for the trim surround to be delivered before fitting it.
On Tuesday I should also have a pair of genuine LED Mk6 Number plate lamps coming.

Looks great Chris, love that paint colour and those wingbacks  :drool: :drool:

Chris
It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Suggestion you might like DBP wrap either side of the gloss black on the black of the wingbacks.

PS looks fantastic
