That's what I've got, looks nice on a black car, u may want to look at painting/wrapping your. Window struts, they are grey and stand out when u have the tints

You might want a sun strip added at the same time.

And also like Cam you want to spray or wrap the mirrors and window trim Gloss black so it all blends in.

Have a look at my Progress thread mate here http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-Prog...-Rusty2009

i've thought about a sunstrip, but i'm quite tall and fell i would have to ducking or slouching to see out the window properly, i'll have a look into the window struts thing though cheers

just checked your thread out some great mods there, giving me ideas, that head unit and facia kit look expensive

what made u put side repeaters in the mirrors?

and have you got a how to on your tyre pressure monitoring system

Nice :-) how much os that setting back? I want to get mine done at some point this year.

You should be ok with a sun strip mate but what I would recommend is speak to the tint place the could cut a piece for to see what you think.

as for TPMS yes how-to is here http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-Howto-Retrofit-TPMS

I don't like the location of the front indercator and Baz did them first when he sold his GTC I bought them off him.

The head unit was £900 and the fascia kit was £200 then I had it painted as I wanted it to match my trim.

£900 whaaat!? i wont be doing that then, i read through your how to on the tpms looks very confusing , and frustrating how a dealer didn't know what you were talking about and failed at switching them on, seems a nice touch and quite posh, but i think i'll just stick to checking them manually
