Title: Stereo!
Post by: Nick1983 on July 13, 2010, 08:03:26 pm

Ok im trying to weigh up what to do first with the money i have hence talking abour remaps and refurbishing my alloys.

Next big thing on my list is a decent stereo. Any ideas? I want one that is the same fit as the original.

Saint Steve if your reading this, whats yours again with the touch screen satnav? That really looks good.

Thanks for any advice

After a really long meditation I've decided to mod my car in the following order:

1. -30mm H&R lowering springs for the looks and firmer ride (IMO a fairly cheap way to make your car look better)

2. Colour coding the bumbers and skirts (They did not look good in my eye so this was also a pretty easy and cheap way to improve looks compared to i.e. buying new aftermarket bumbers and skirts and paint em)

3. Remap, REVO or BRS (Just got my GTI so I think I'll enjoy the power it has in stock a little longer so I dont have to start drooling for stage 2+ right away  :drool:

4. RNS-510, touch screen nav/dvd player, 2nd hand (Only 4th simply because I alrdy have a pretty good nav system and dont even have much use for it tbh)

.....

That's my list so far =) Hope this was atleast in some way helpful  :happy2:

Cheers Steve - yea i like that a lot! i think im going to see if i can get some form of finance deal first but may look into the one 182_blue has for sale if this isnt an option! Also found a place where they will refurb my alloys for a good price so im getting that done, then the stereo and then ill be looking at a re-map!
