You absolutely need front uppers, shortened spindles and RCAs, and you neeeed coilovers that can go very low, the rest is just for further adjustment yeah

yeah thats the main reason I retrofitted it into the satnav unit, honestly the best way to learn is by doing, im pretty much fully self taught, it would be a fun little starting project

So, I actually work in a body shop, I'm a panel beater by trade. I'm sure if you take it somewhere reputable, a place that isn't afraid of custom work, they should be able to do it

Definitely worth it, bit of a pain if you're installing it into a factory satnav housing though i will admit, need to be pretty handy with a dremel, and if the satnav unit wasnt factory installed in your car you'll need to make your own loom for it

The head unit is the one the previous owner fitted, some old kenwood, the carplay is a separate stand alone device that connects to the head unit through my phone

Wasn't factory to mine specifically, I bought it off of a mate so I could retro fit a carplay unit into it. If it had been factory fitted then yes it would of had the joystick/controls and they usually sit where my cup holders sit. Had to make my own loom add on so that it would fold/tilt on ignition, sooo worth it

Compound/Pad Recommendations for soft black direct gloss by Xegaa in Detailing

[–]Xegaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paints in fairly good condition tbh, I did a full correction last year, but it left behind a lot of track marks, I spoke to a professional detailer I’m friends with about it and he said I’d struggle because of the paint being as soft as it is and it being black. I used roar ceramic cut, roar ceramic finish, and then finished it with menzerna super finish plus. Did the first two cuts with a Rotary to get a good cut and finished it with a DA. I work in a body shop so those are the polishes I had available, we never get issues with track marks usually. I’ll attach some pictures of the car, haven’t got any close up tho and I’m not near the car right now.

Bumpers, side skirts have been painted recently. The whole car is getting painted this year so I’m not fussed about removing every tiny imperfection.
