The first update on this car ......my first job was to remove the old rear lights as these were to far gone in my eyes and i already had a set from a previous car which were vertically brand new gave them a clean with some meguiars plast rx . Also i had some led indicator bulbs from the previous car so fitted them along with that i did the fog light clear lens mod to finish the job.

Awesome mate!
How did you change the Ariel antenna to the shark fin? As I’m thinking of doing that too and would I need to buy a GPS harness to connect it with my rns 510?
Thanks

Many Thanks ...as for the Ariel antenna it’s pretty easy
Open the boot
Remove the centre roof trim just pull down on clips
Undo X2 10mm nuts each side of where the trim was to give you more access space
Gentle pull the roof lining down
Locate the Ariel base and remove the 22mm nut
Disconnect the wiring for the Ariel
If you are fitting a sharks fin everything in reverse as for the gps harness if you have not got one you will need one for the navigation to work, mine in a simple radio only,
Hope this helps ,,
