Good work, and it looks fantastic. Was taking the trim off easy or did you have any scary moments with the plastic?

You certainly deserve the drink, but make sure that cat doesn't knock it over  :tongue:

I'm still looking for the RCD510.

Did you already have a sat-nav aerial? If not where did you locate the aerial??

it was quite easy tbh, took just above 30 mins all in, i pulled at trim whilst using proper trim tools to help move the clipped bits, quietly confident i could do it all again

Looks the nuts mate, you may have to pm me the purchase details  :shocked:

P.S. your rev counter needs a clean! (never thought I'd see a smudge on your car  :wink:)

Nice - can't believe it was that quick to install.  Whats about phone prep - have you got that working too (notice you have MFSW) - if I went down this route I would also want this?

Another question - does your cat do anything apart from mince around the house and try to get in on all the photos  :grin:
