Just picked car up and very pleased with the quality of installation.





Pioneer AVIC-F70DAB with ND-BC8 Reversing Camera
Phoenix Gold SX Series Amp & Sub
Focal Front & Rear Door Speakers
Plus a load of Dynamat

Sounds awesome, and the bluetooth is so much clearer than the previous set-up.

Need to get used to Android Auto now..

Oh yeah, the guy said he had a lot of nice comments on the car whilst it was at his unit and he couldn't believe the condition of it after nearly 170k  :wink:

My R32 rear calipers came back today from Brake Caliper Refurbs...



Very happy with the finish. (I paid extra for the better coating  :happy2: )

Got a genuine dummy shark fin aerial to replace the current one..



And some genuine mk6 switches with door warning lights from @golfman

Those calipers look incredible! Who was it that you got to do them?  :drool:

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

Cheers bud, yeah he did an awesome job. Only thing is now I want my fronts doing to match which means my car will be off the road for a bit at some point.

I have decided to sell the Helio's  :confused:

Advertised them on eBay and Wheel Whores so hopefully they will get snapped up quickly..

Will get the Khartoums refurbed and some different tyres on then the money from the Helio's will pay for a good chunk of the air-ride  :driver:

Mk6 switches fitted today. No photo as you all know what they look like.

Just waiting for my matching one from bold sport to complete the look.

Hoping to have air ride for GTI International..

New trim and handle along with mk6 switches..



Phil @ The Install Company has assured me the Helio's will be fine on air as long as I change the tyres to 215's so watch this space..

Been looking at spoilers for a little while.

Product code: 1K00716409AX

When I was at the stealers getting my door trim they priced my at £145 + VAT but I have been watching one on eBay from a VW dealer at £99 delivered.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161880229988

Then today I got an email saying our works eBay account has a £15 off paypal voucher.

Will be here start of next week and will drop it straight down to bodyshop as its in on Monday for a few days to have ED30 bumper sprayed and fitted etc  :happy2:
