New updates on car

[RS6JJL]

Since you last saw the car I've had some more work done

Light window tint
Wheels refurbed/powder coated, black shadow chrome (lightened)
Gloss black wrap on all exterior trim, gloss carbon wrap on all wood interior trim, black badges

A few photos (got it back yesterday from wrap) still drying,













getting there now

Lovely car but wind deflectors do not suit the car

[Mr V10]

Looks good, you must be chuffed with that.

+1 looks like a Jap import with the deflectors. Rest of car is spot on

[Mr V10]

I don't like the wind deflectors either, but let's not have pages full of comments cussing them as that's what happened the last time the OP posted, he likes them and they're staying.

Can't say I'm impressed with the Road Angel install either! For mine I got a cheap cigarette lighter unit, and wired it under the dash into Pin 75X (switched live) and then plugged in the RA power feed. It then runs up by the drivers door pillar, and allows the unit to fit on the dash by the drivers door pillar with virtually no cable showing at all.

Very impressive interior "tuning".
Who did the carbon trim wrap and how much did you pay,please? I saw so many good cars with foogly wood trim, if I only knew this was possible...

Can I have more details,please? Is the Pin 75X in the fuse box? How do you switch it live? What is the RA power feed? Any link on the cheap cigarette lighter unit? Any pictures?
Sorry for being such a pain, but I love elegant and discreet installations if it comes to the car interiors...

thanks all wind deflectors won't be to everyone's taste i can understand that but they serve a purpose

its a snooper unit, its not hard wired in as yet, i have two units to be installed, temp just plugged in!

anyone interested in wrapping anything interior/exterior i highly recommend http://www.monsterwraps.co.uk/in Southampton the work is spot on with all trim being removed for interior and exterior work carried out to a very high standard

Not over impressed with the wind deflectors , however , I agree if its what the owner wants/likes, that's there choice.so don't take this as a criticism
I will state though, the deflectors do serve a purpose if your a smoker , they stop any ash blowing straight back in. .......and i have had them myself on a pick-up truck in the past.

That's a definite pull with those number plates though

Following your link, i do like the idea of plastidip for alloys for the winter

Hi there

To find terminal 75X drop the panel above the drivers knees and just to the leftof the steering column you will see it. Its and easy connection point for accessories - and is switched with the ignition so ideal for a snooper (or Road Angel which is what I thought it was.

Any car cigarette lighter extension cable will do - see http://www.quasarelectronics.co.uk/Item ... tAodAX4AQg for example but any car spares place will have one. Just cut off the male end and attach to terminal 75X.

I'll try and take some pics some time, but there's not a lot to see - which is the point really!!

Thanks for the info and links, guys!

If you need to hardwire in a USB powered device, these type of kits can be useful too - stops you have to wire in a socket and then tape up a cig->usb charger into it

How can anyone say that the wind deflectors don't look nice (although they are right), the main point here is that he got rid of the fugly wood interior!!! Good work, now everyone else with wood should follow suit!

How come you didn't have the front windows tinted? Think cars with just the rears done looks kack. Like the exterior wrap but carbon has been and gone now. You couold do with some black exhaust tips now to finish it off.
