Introduction

I fell in love with it when i first saw it and knew it had to be mine.
Ive done a few small mods since owning it.
Xenon look headlight bulbs
Abarth mats
Yatour music changer
Chrome indicator bulbs in the headlights and side repeaters to get rid of the fried egg look
Forge motorsport induction kit
Powerflow backbox
De-wipered, de-badged

Im a big fan of keeping the car clean as well.
Future mods are coilovers and some different wheels.
Re-vinyl the A and B pillars as they are awful.
Vinyl the numberplate bit between the grills.

Anyhow, pictures from when i first got it, to now. (Nothings changed really :cool: )

Yeah, the pioneer one that was down from 169.99 to 69.99 and i will take one tomorrow bud, the fascia isnt exactly the same black as the centre console but its close enough.

There is a guide how to wire headunits in which involves chopping wires etc etc to get an ignition live, but i avoided all that because i bought this.

I didnt wanna cut wires and wanted my steering wheel controls (youve gotta add the extra wires in for them) but it has ignition live and keeps its memory :)
Quite a pricey way but i dont mind!

Its not on offer anymore though is it? Although its cheaper elsewhere than the full price at halfrauds and yeah its got a rainbow of colours to choose from!

To be honest, i wouldnt say its a different shade, ill try and catch the difference on camera but the centre console is more satin black so it has more shine whereas the fascia is matt so its a little more dull.
It does fit really nice though so, ill get a better pic tomorrow for you mate! :thumbup:

Mines the plain grey :( I've got a spare from the scrap yard though that I'm thinking of either wrapping (probably too difficult) or spraying gloss red
 
Went to bourton on the water yesterday for a day out with my girlfriend and came back to the car to find some prick parked like this...
