Nice!

Though the does sun makes it look like you have the imprint of Thunderbird 2 on your arch though!

Thanks. Ha, yeah, it does a bit, doesn't it! :lol:

Car was a bit dusty from sitting in the workshop for a while, but a couple more pics from when I collected it:

Thanks, that's very kind of you to say so, Dunc (or whoever you are, that's taken over Dunc's account! ImageImage)

Did take a few video clips, though, when I picked the car up.
I've stitched them together and uploaded them. Excuse the dust/debris from the workshop.

Can you spot which new parts I've yet to fit?

May upgrade the discs, at some point, but I meant parts (trims) that are currently missing

When that particular detailer puts the necessary time and effort in he does a really good job. With that said, him and I don't talk anymore and my life is all the better for it :D.

What was with going Parrot over phone/BT prep? Have you had it in there for years (RNS-D)?

Gone:
"Taz"- C7 RS6 - MRC stage 2 - Milltek non-res + 100 cell cats, uprated fuel pumps, race plugs, 745PS/1095Nm
12' Cayenne Turbo, B7 RS4, S3, Cupra R, XJR, EVO VII, STI8,5,2&WRX, 106 GTI&XSI, other crap.

Love the mirror finishes possible with black paint! Planning on sharing some pics when it's done?

Yeah, he's done a good job. Have you got another detailer lined up locally, Nick?

Yup, the Parrot's an original part (dealer-fit option, I believe). I replaced the RNS-D with RNS-E a few years back, but kept the Parrot as a sort of nostalgic trophy (plus didn't want to risk damaging the dash after previously taking the time/effort to reposition it higher up on the eyeline and then plumb it all in through the dash).
If I was using the car more often, then I'd probably want to de-clutter and fit the OEM BT module, but it's more of a museum piece than anything now!
