sorry for lack of posts, had a few bits done recently but not had time to upload, ill start with the smaller bits i did :)

only something small, but my old ashtray lid had broke so it sprung up really quick and not slow and steady like it was meant to, so i got a 2nd hand ashtray compartment off the forum and swapped over:

having replaced all 4 wheel arch liners, the drivers side front was damaged when installed (but was MUCH better condition that the original so fitted it anyway for the time being) managed to source a undamaged replacement so now all 4 corners are perfect:

both front lower plastic corners were damaged, finally managed to get some replacements at a sensible price. fitted new corners and also refitted all the brake duct brackets etc to stiffen everything up, and modified the lower corners so they dont foul the bottom rear of the bumper fangs and every thing sits perfect now and nothing fouls anything.

old corners off, and new corners ready to go on:

new corners fitted and modified ready for bumper to sit true:

next up was a mod i have been looking forward to for a while, was a bit apprehensive as there has been a bit of bother regarding Quad conversions lately so after plenty of research and a recommendation from forum member ESP i bit the bullet and booked my car in at EMP Performance based in St Albans http://www.empperformance.com/

very friendly and nice people all round and the workmanship is amazing (i followed there fitters on instagram to get an idea for there work.. https://instagram.com/mad_dp/ )

Love that quad!

Any more info on the usb connection from the centre mirror? I haven't a clue where to start on that one but I have a camera I want to wire in like that.
Did you solder the wires? Which wires etc.

Cheers :D

Really like the Quad,

Is it a Cat back system?

Do you mind disclosing how much it cost?

Been thinking about an exhaust for a while but finding a good company to do it seems to be the issue.
