Any more updates ben? and are pressed plates illegal? as a few people round here have been pulled with them on!

hey not been on in a while, my computer died on me and ordered one from apple which had to be built..
In answer to your question, I looked into it before buying the pressed plates, and mine are legal, the police had pulled me over a few times saying that they weren't as the lettering was too thin or something (i think they thought they were the german style) but when they measured them funnily enough they were legal, and the mr police man wasn't too happy. Apparently a lot of people just get the pressed show plates and put them on which dont have the little code in the bottom right corner of the plates. I got the pressed ones from craigsplates.com and they served me well until I bought the domed ones..

And Ben, I do hope you manage to find some decent glue, after all that work you've put into it :S

Good work there Ben, So how do you get that interior trim off? Looks much better black

Cheers Alex

Everything pulls off

Except steering wheel trim has a few torx screws on the reverse of the wheel

And the stereo has 2 x T25 torx screws and 2 x hex bolts (7mm socket)

[Ben...]

Few little updates

New button location





Got rid of the separate charger and aux lead

Added a second 12v socket

Used this http://www.amazon.co.uk/iPhone-3-5mm-Au ... B002ATMN22

Much better with one lead





Fitted a glove box light

[Ben...]

Fitted 'Ambient Lighting'

Connected it to the interior light

When the doors are opened/ the car is unlocked but keys not in yet.. The lights fade on

When the doors are shut/ the key is turned to stage 1/2/3.. The lights fade off

The lights don't come on when the interior light is turned on manually

I think it looks great

[telwick]

Looks good mate! wish i had the guts to fit the engine start!

[Ben...]

[telwick]
