Socks Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 ok so i was sick of driving around in silence (no stereo) so i got myself a double din headunit! Pioneer P4100DVD i think it is! Brand new! Filled the hole nicely, needed a bit of filing tho, was a couple of mm too small! It only as front speakers atm too! which are ever so tinny! So some better speakers are most likely on the list of things to do too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Been bit busy today! Cleaned the car again! Noticed my wiper arms have seen better days and letting the car down! Going white and rusty!So i removed them all from the car, sanded them all down:i did the back one too but not pictured!then i sprayed them satin black (wish id used matte now but hey) and then laquered, still wet in this pic:While they were drying i went and collected some goodies from motosave and badassracer69's house Flat-Blade wipers for front, also got rear (not pictured)....and a HDI Front Mount Intercooler, Toy Tuning Front Mount Filter Kit...Ive ordered a ep91 n/a aux belt for removing my air con too ;) Im planning on doing all this on wednesday on my day off Pictures to follow with wiper arms fitted back up ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
