Title: Advice on aftermarket doubledin facia convertor
Post by: dTEA on 14 April 2009, 20:32
Right guys, finally got rid of the CTR and back in my own golf rather than driving the missus's.  Picked up a standard mk5 GTi but the original single cd headunit is pathetic.  Need my mp3's back and my iPod working again.  But the thing i', struggling with is the colouring and texture of the aftermarket facia surround jobbies...

I've got an anthracite coloured interior (=grey :grin:) but everywhere seems to be selling black...any ideas where to try (links included ta!!) as i've searched and drawn a blank

i've read the post's about the Can-Bus stuff as well so will be investing in that tho...
