Oh yea got the rear windows tinted 95% and it looks the dogs b******s.

2 weeks and the fully forged lump should be going in.....

That's some work you've been doing there, mate!

Yes. Thinking of a strip placed above the existing circuit board, between the axles of the rotary controls and the buttons below.

Did you wire to the cigarette lighter socket, to the 'backlight dimming' line on the radio wiring, or somehow solder or adapt a bulbholder to contact the lighting circuit in the heater?

Am undecided on that point
And some photos would be nice of the end result if you have them?

Fitted my door speakers courtesy of Gatos ( Cheers pal !! ) spliced the wiring with block connectors for now - will solder it properly when I get time - but I now have bass in the front of the car ! result !

Lighten that right foot, Alex!

That'll help reduce the fuel bills.

Averaging 39mpg but driving 80 odd miles a day clocks up the miles pretty fast and traffic is a nightmare some days.

Mpg took a hit this morning though - Took an hour and a half to get into work and lots of stop start

finally got me fog lights on and working with a little help from the " ring fast fit kit "... well it worked ...

Fitted my washer jets supplied by cookie which now stay in the bonnet and not fly out at the sign of a speed hump.

i managed to wire it into a bulb holder. i removed a bulb from its plastic case, and shoved the wires from the led strip in it. i will take my front off tomorrow and get some snaps. you can use 1 bit and start at the speed dial up around the top through the hole up above the directional dial throught the hole all the way round the temp dial and back through the hole stick it to the bottom of the directional them on to the speed dial. (do you get my drift?) the dials come out easily by pushing the clips in.

its a easy job the hardest part is the wiring. i guess it would be easier to wire it else where (12v socket)

any questions please ask. (pm easiest)
