@Popsy

What did you use to strip the paint on the callipers to the original like that? :ponder2:
 
They were only painted with aerosols so when i put thinners and a wire brush to it it only stripped the aerosols not the original colour as thats powdercoated

The red/black combo looks fantastic :smokin: :thumbsup:

Engine bay looks tidy too, I'm liking the gold :thumbsup: .. You need some vinyl/rubber care for the hoses and it will really make a huge difference to the overall appeal of the bay :thumbsup:
 
Fitted a nokia ck 200 car kit.. night pic not great but you get the idea. The colour on the screen on the unit can be changed to suit your car.

i'll be as happy as a pig in sh*t Colm once its all fitted and :pray: she never finds out how much it all costs :shhh: :whistle:
 
Put it up for sale and switched all the alarm sensors to level 32 so even a whisper sets it off. Currently pissing off the neighbours. :D
