    Help needed badly with stereo install

    I think someone must have messed with your wiring, as I have that exact same head unit and connects2 adapter and it just worked without need for swapping wires. My standard head unit and this one both turn off with ignition though Edit: to say the connections seemed quite stiff to get properly...

    Matt's Red Ibiza FR TDI on RHs, with added plywood and plastic :)

    I wasn't overly pleased with the look of the arches as they had puckered a bit when I trimmed them down. I ordered some different ones from Russia and set about fixing my binding front brake and lack of handbrake on one of the rear calipers. Front brake issue was obvious when taken...

    All ready for a busy "weekend": No going back from here! Had to resort to an angle grinder quite soon after this as the dremel blades lasted about 150mm each lol Rear ready to have skins welded, no pictures of the welding as it wasn't pretty haha: ...and reason why...

    Matt's Red Ibiza FR TDI on RHs, with added plywood and plastic :)

    A very long overdue update! Had a run in with a rather high kerb, the angle it hit meant my wheel took all the force don't think my tyre even touched the kerb :( Luckily I have a few spares of the same wheel so for christmas I thought a colour change was due: Standard christmas...

    Remap?

    I had mine mapped to 170 bhp / 300 lbft at a similar mileage. Last year at 145k I had my map tweaked due to fitting a fmic to 183 bhp / 320 lbft, still on original turbo/ flywheel and clutch. I've owned it since 34k and while it does get well used I have always been careful to let it warm up...

    Cheapest retailer for A.P.pins...?

    Perforation/Corrosion Warranty - wheel arch bubbled

    It's a sponge/foam bit inside the wing that appears to start the rust. I've seen very few people get anywhere with the warranty but have seen some!

    Needing Opions

    They're 16" ones the same as my spare wheel. I have these "bolt on" sort of spacers: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111680873433&alt=web There's advantages and disadvantages to both styles (ones you found are bolt through) if you google you'll find them

    Needing Opions

    Steelies can look "interesting" with a bit of "creative flair" I did this to mine once upon a time: This was using the cheapest spray paint from eBay Then I got more civilized and brush painted them hammered Hammerite Grey: I'd try to pick up some cheap used coilovers instead of cutting...

    EGR Cooler delete....talk to me.

    Yeh to start with I'd just pull the vacuum hose off the egr and block the hose. Then just pull the coolant hoses off the cooler and connect them as per my photos. Should be okay like that temporarily. Then you can decide what to do with the egr delete and mapping out the light.
