Progress thread: Nemo

[Nemo]

So I've been here long enough and I've not even done a progress thread!

The model I went for was the Vx-Line 2.0cdti SRi in white which I got mid 2015 and I fell in love with it instantly despite not having any extras on it except for parking sensors.

The day I got it:


I started doing subtle changes to it such as alloy pedals, new floor mats:

I then moved onto lighting including LED number plate lights, LED DRLs, white dipped beam and interior LED upgrades:





Then I had it tinted and I also installed multicoloured footwell lights:



Fitted Team Heko wind deflectors - ended up taking them off after a couple of weeks due to the wind noise and the moisture coming in:


I got pressed plates and Irmscher plate holders

I even changed the brake calliper colour to red:



I installed door card LEDs and added strips to the pockets of the front doors:


Extra boot light:


And then came the devastation of it being written off!


But not all hope was lost... for I bought another J exactly the same but with extras!


This one includes heated leather seats, bluetooth, sat nav and it was already tinted which I'm happy about (the misses wasn't happy about the sat nav part as she'd actually bought me an expensive TomTom for Christmas which she had to return!)

First thing first was to get rid of those mucky yellow candles that VX call headlights:


I got some mats made up with the forums website on them and installed some alloy pedals that I got from @cornishtaz (cheers Baz!)



Upgraded interior lights whilst I was it:


Next I followed the guide by @Tucpal on upgrading my Nav 600 to Nav 900 which has a much better display and has speed cameras which is handy!



Then after that I had to fit aftermarket reverse parking sensors as this one didn't come with any. So with a lot of help from @sheppy1 - and I mean a lot - and following his guide on the forum I managed to finally get them installed, it only took me all day...

(Car hasn't been cleaned since so I've got no after pic)

Got my club stickers too!

Next jobs for my J number 2 are as follows:
- LED DRLs (parts on the way)
- extra boot light (on its way)
- centre console and door trims change
- projector upgrade
- possible remap
- brake calliper colour change (fancy a different colour but not sure on what)
- possible lowering (on the fence with this one as I believe the SRi is already lower than standard)
- LED brake & reverse lights
- footwell lights (on the way)
- full LED conversion to blue, all the SMDs are ordered just waiting for installation

(Sorry about the length)
