Awesome stuff Luis!  :happy2:

Been thinking about getting some sound deadening for the door panels to make them sound a bit more substantial!

Does make a big difference. When you close the doors after, it sounds really solid with a dull thud. You can hear a marked difference from a door that hasn't been done. I got loads in stock, let me know and I will sort you some out, not that expensive.

It most definitely does. The clarity right through the volume range is something else. Still needs more fine tuning, but as a base to start with, it's awesome.

Anytime Sanj, just glad it's all good and working well.

Hi Luis

Just arrived back in Hong Kong mate and just wanted to thank you once again for the work on my Pirelli and also my sons car and also a big thanks to your wife for keeping us fed when we were down there. Both cars sound absolutely brilliant and everyone who got to hear the sound quality and see the quality of the install in my Pirelly were blown away by it. The car is cleaned and in the garage with the cover on it awaiting my next trip back to the UK in a couple of weeks, I will try to pop up and see you when back but just in the UK on the Friday and Saturday.

For anybody out there thinking of getting an audio install done then Luis is the man to do it. His attention to detail is awsome and he treats the car like it is his own and does a great job. I gave him a hand on my car and my sons car and mine took 5 full 10-12 hour days, the work involved is mind boggling and a lot more demanding than I am sure most of us think, I was under the understanding that it could be done in 2-3 days but practically all the interior came out and door skins off etc. and at times it was quite frightening seeing my pride and joy like that but Luis was the man for the job and the couple of clips that were broken on panels etc. that were removed he re-ordered and had delivered the next day and he even called in a dent repair guy to fix an almost unnoticeable dent on the rear panel that was allready there as it was the ideal opertunity when we had the car stripped out. When the car was completed he hovered and cleaned it and even wet sanded and polished out some scratches on my sons mates car when he popped in to see us. 100% genuine guy with a passion for the work he turns out.

Regards Paul

Hey Paul

Glad you got back OK.

Thanks very much for the kind words, very much appreciated. Was a pleasure working with you on the car and can't wait to do the second stage and the other mods we spoke about.

See you in a couple of weeks.

Thanks guys, yeah big power, but superb sound quality which was the main aim of the system. Sounds incredible. Crystal clear right through the range, and still some final tuning to come.

That headunit is gorgeous, where did the double din facia come from? Looks like a great match, exactly what im after. Thank you :smiley:

That fascia is an lpine kit for the INE-W928R which comes with the unit specifically for the MK5's. This is an 8" screen so won't fit in normal vehicles. If you would like one, send me a pm, I have supplied a few now and everyone is extremely happy with them.

Yeah, it is an amazing unit and integrates with the MK5 better than any other after market radio I have seen. The 8" screen is just a bonus.
