Rob1:
Ive just read through the whole thread, very interesting read with some really nice changes which have definitely transformed the car.
Almost makes me want to spend more money on my GT sport, but I'm holding out for either a ED30 or Pirelli later this year.

shoaybmakda:
thanks for taking the time @Rob1 i have made a couple more minor changes that ill post soon! ED30 or pirelli is a good shout to go with  :happy2:

shoaybmakda:
not done many changes since my last post apart from a couple of tweaks here and there.

after i got the car looking how i wanted it, i wanted to do some performance mods to it. managed to come across this on eBay for a fairly decent price:





after fitting it i thought it was a little loud - but then i remembered the mrs drives my car too and she would absolutely hate it. so i had to take it out and sell it and return to stock. it did feel like the car was running better but i knew eventually all the whooshing would annoy me too and needed something a bit more subtle.

as per previous posts, i updated the RCD300 to the MFD2 and although it was a great unit, i didn't feel like i was getting the most out of the highline display and the lack of touch screen was beginning to get on my nerves. so i managed to bag a RNS510 off here and its a much better unit to use (after i had a small battle getting it to calibrate!).

i also ordered a MDI dock off eBay and found a seller in poland selling the wiring separately for a very good price (MDI and loom total cost me £55) but wasn't delivered the same time as the RNS510 so in my excitement i went and installed the unit and then had to re-do it all again once the MDI was delivered!

Round 1:





Round 2 (fitted it in the dark!)







Job Done!:



also managed to pick up some mats for the car to replace my old ones which had a fair bit of use it seems from the heel



today was cleaning day as we actually had a stoppage in rain. so out came the polish after a quick wash. managed to have a bit of a go at my exhaust tips (completely forgot to get a before pic but imagine these but completely black!) - I'm still not happy with this result but its much better than how it was before:



also managed to get some more snaps of the car whilst out. sorry my pictures arnt the greatest but all i have is my trusty iPhone!







as usual comments welcome!  :happy2:
