Finished front, just need a better style of no plate

Wheels are now on but the light beat me.[/quote]

Looking great, not so sure about the headlight tint, shame to cover up those DsBs headlights, I've got clear venture shield on mine. We need pics of it finished, come Barry, get your act together, you've had it 3 days now :D Do you have parts numbers for the lower grill with the chrome trim around fogs and grill please, is it a cheapish upgrade?

Edit: is I wrote this, you'd already done it :oops: looks the DsBs, what's the stereo like, it's got Garmin maps hasn't it?

I'll post numbers later when home from work. And no it's not a cheapish upgrade but worth it IMHO

I did think hard about covering the lovely lights but that pic was last night in the shadows. You can still see there lovely zenons in daylight and the LEDs show through lovely. You'll have to come see it it's much better than the film tint Thats what's on the blue one but it's coming off

Not sure on the kenwood I'm a tomtom man really I'll try it and if I don't get on with it I'll sell it. The unit itself is excellent so might keep it and still use my tomtom

Headlining out tomorrow to fit DAB body mount and fit led lighting it rear. Hope to use it for work next week so it can start earning it's keep lol
