Title: Interior Mods
Post by: Paranoia_uk on 26 September 2010, 15:22

Im planning on initially keeping my mods to the interior of the car. When I'm happy with this I will start on the exterior. Does anyone have any ideas on some things I can do to make it a much nicer place to be. I dont have big bucks to spend but am willing to spend a fair amount.

I have the original CD Player and Radio and want to upgrade. The hole left by these two is pretty large but i would like a Satnav and CD Player, does anyone know if theres a combo that would fit nicely into the hole, so the Satnav and Headunit operate on one large screen.

I also want to change the interior lighting, the bland yellowy lights are not the nicest. Does anyone know the name of some lights that I can change them with?

Thanks guys

any double din sized headunit will fit in the hole and i believe satnav/cd combo touchscreen headunits are available but probably expensive for a decent one

ive changed my interior bulbs and door puddle lights to blue led's, you can buy full sets off bulbs on ebay

nope, just make sure you get the correct length bulbs (mm) as theyre festoon bulbs, just pop yours out and measure it (said the actress to the bishop)

double din HUs are quite expensive, if you buy a single, you can also buy a single din pocket replacement which clicks in place, thats only about £15

as for the bulbs, if you want to change the colour, you can buy bulb paint, but you need to change the brushes everytime, as the paint is really strong and knackers every brush by making it go hard and unusable

or you could just use your gf/wife/mom/nan's nail varnish, already comes with a brush and doesnt the treat, but if you use a light red and not enough, its shines pink, lol this was the quick fix for my show car
