Title: Bye GTD, long live my old silver beetle - which is about to get a new radio ;-)
Post by: The Doc on 14 January 2013, 17:35
So the GTD went back in November and I've been carless since, been mooching for a while and finally bought this today, incase your blind it's a Cayman S  :grin:

Just picked her up in the snow so sorry she's dirty n the pics are crap....

Popped into mk6 section today, never usually go in there and saw the super long "What car you going to get next" thread.  Saw this beast in there!  Damn!  :cool:

TBH it depends how she rewards me - if it's all they are cracked up to be she will stay if not.....

Thought I'd buck the M135i trend  :whistle:

A mate of mine has one of these,  its been good to him for the past year or so. That door decal would need to go though.

Since buying her I've put two new tyres on the front, one new shocker on the back and a bit of paint on the front left corner and bumper where the previous owner had grazzed his garage wall (nothing to do with me ripping the front bumper off reversing off the path)  :whistle:

Liking it a lot - maybe a little in love  :smiley:

That's not a Beetle - Beetles have the engine BEHIND the rear wheels.  That is mid-mounted.

Good choice.

MUCH better than those 1M things - I mean what sort of twonk would buy a car that plays engine noise through the speakers to massage the ego of the driver..... oh hang on....

The radio in my cayman is ok but I want something a little newer with USB input so I've bought a pioneer AVH-4400BT along with a pioneer cayman specific fitting kit - more pics to follow later - wish me luck ;-)

Current radio:

Thanks Dom,

I lost my rag when fitting it as the pioneer "custom bracket" annoyed me so I ripped the front clean off the radio and dragged the rest of the set and cage out of the dash.....

Pics to follow  :grin:
