Well I have had non stop trouble with the standard headunit. Sometimes it would work, other times it would work but no speakers, most of the times I'd get a red flash every now and again and that would be it.



18/19 seconds in...

So after selling my BMW yesterday I had a nice amount of spare cash so I headed out to get a new headunit. Ended up buying a Sony Double Din. Quite happy with the look of it and it seems to work very well up to now.
Had a bit of a mess around with it last night and go it set up how I want it now.
This picture was taken before I messed around with the setting

No not yet. Am not having any problems at the moment so I was thinking not to bother but from what I read they worth doing as well when you get a car service done. I should be getting it in for a full service late summer time so I'll get it done then, unless they need doing before hand

Well today I got the wheels off the golf, rubbed down the brake calipers and gave them a fresh couple of coats of red hammerite. the calipers hadn't been painted since factory I don't think as they were looking fairly pink before I went over them

I then checked over the engine and realised I got some bits in here that would look rather nice in carbon. So I got the hydrodipping tank up and running.
So this happened





All lacquered and put back into the car

My brother is a painter and he advised me to clean them up as best as I could, then rub sandpaper on then just to make them up, gives the paint something to grip on to.
No pictures sorry. I'll try get some after

All types being around the corner the prep starts. I got hold of some 0000 wire wool and some meguires metal polish to give the exhaust a quick shine up.

Headed to all types today. Great show. Shame I didn't take any pictures though  :ashamed: but I did see a lot of nice MK5 dotted around. Some wind deflectors have been bought, great purchase. I recommend them to anyone
