Door Blades & Stereo

Post by 1781cc » Sun Aug 14, 2011 12:56 pm

OK, I was considering swapping the car not long ago, but test drove a few things and decided to keep her in the end and just get some of the fiddly things done...

Door blades
I want to get them colour coded in Noggy Blue, I know the pain code but I dont want them to spray them on the car, I would rather buy some, get them sprayed and fit them, so my question is this: anyone done this before or replaced the blades? if so, how hard to do are they? (I am guessing its a door card off job)

Stereo
Not fussed about having sat nav as I have a tomtom and also an android with navigation, but the standard Bose Symphony is pretty crap with no MP3 or ipod capability, so what are my options?

Anyone fitted a double din jobbie with the 7" LCD's? and if so, how do you get around the size of the moulding?

Cheers for any and all comments or advice

Door blades- open door, remove hex screws, slide door blade towards the rear. Done

hmmm, the dynavin one look nice, I like the fact that its a straight fit, need to research it a little bit, see about the sat nav stuff it has as I may sell my tomtom in that case.

Do you have one or know of anyone that has gone down this route?

thanks for all your help

Dynavin are relatively new over here I think, seen a fair few threads on Audizine and the like, but no personal experience. Can't say I've ever seen a bad review though.
