Hi all first post on here

Just swapped out the original rear lights for the smoke R lights, subtle difference

Before

AFTER

SWAPPED THE FRONT BULBS FOR THE PHILIPS BRIGHT ONES

Waiting for my RNS510, Reversing camera, Bluetooth module

Got My VCDS and plugged it in to see if it worked ok

Anyone got any other good mods for these?

TIA

Rear parking sensors installed today & some Focal 165 VRS's in the front

Pics to follow as Mrs Hopper is monopolising the iPad but approx 10 hours of de-tightening the speakers at 2/3 volume & we're ready to roc out ! :nod:

Pre fit


Didn't unfortunately get any pics of the Focals installed :? As I got distracted during the install

the parking sensors got a good workout today driving my little brother to Comicon at Excel but as a consequence Walter needs a darned good clean before I can take photos or WD will think I'm slipping ;)

The woofers are 165mm wide 56mm deep - the adapters supplied by car audio didn't fit but Simon at Enhance got them in & dynamatted with no issues in about 90 minutes
The pack came with four speakers (2 woofers & 2 tweeters) and the sound is spectacular even unamplified

Much less "chippy" than the standard units from the tweeters a more mellow sound altogether - have yet to fully put it through the paces but early indications are certainly promising
Started with Al Stewart - year of the cat which sounds glorious on the strings & sax, the Martyn Taylor live album sounds great, the string fingering is pretty evident & the eagles take it easy & last resort were fabulous but have some big sounds to try out once the speakers have loosened up after approx 8-10 hours apparently - then I'll dig out the Floyd !

W is clean again now too so I'll post the RPS pic later !

Gave her a bit of a wash yesterday, not quite "whitedevil standard", but good enough to bring out the shine :D.

Wasn't very happy with all the scratches that came to the surface and the stone chips too :(.

First clean of the new car this weekend. The scary one of finding bodywork faults. Luckily only one scratch which has been touched up in an inconspicuous location!

Needs a good machine polish though

Ordered sills & fog light rings & have just removed a number plate bulb as I noticed it was out after having the PS fitted the other day

Off to Halfrauds to pick up a new one (though may go led) and a G3 clay mitt on the advice of a highly dedicated detailing aficionado who has high standards & shouldn't be concerned about it :clap:

The viper looks stunning as does the black - sorry about the rear bumper that's a gutter !

Have a good day guys
