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.

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
