I have had this car for two years now and just recently got in the mode to do Mods to it.

This is what coming in the next two weeks:

I also ordered the Coding software and cable to programme the following:


  • -Top UP and Down from Remote
    -Auto UP for passenger Window
    -Quick flash directional blinkers
    -Reprogramme LCU for Facelift Taillights
    -AutoLock doors at 5kph
    -Blinking light/beep on lock and unlock

Done so far Facelift Headlights, Ipod Integration and Winshiled Molding replacement

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

All of the parts for the photo updates have been ordered and will take to body shop for colour matching.

That's a big list! But definitely worthwhile

Do you have a contact to source the facelift rear brake lights?

Great list. Look forward to the pics! :thumbsup:

You might want to give your car a quick wash before the next pics though, those wheels look filthy :lol:

Yeah it rained last night and went through a lot of dirty streets...

I sourced the tailights and rear bumper from eBay already...they just showed up!!!
 
I love it - a public statement of intent, Looking forward to seeing the results :thumbsup:

BTW - do you spend a lot of time in traffic jams leaning on your door ? Must take some amount of elbowing to wear through the armrest !
 
Very powerful mods, great :thumbsup: ! Waiting for the pictures...

Bing, I ordered LeatherZ armrests straight away I bought the car (almost 2 years ago). Not protecting the door panel, just because they are very nice and look sooo good :D .

Here is a Photo of the New windshield moulding that i just did this past weekend.

About 1 hour of work removing old one and inserting new one into place.

iPod Touch Integration done as well...took me about 4 hours to do it, mostly finding the right cables to connect to the unit. Have full control using the CD Changer options...

out of interest, what is the mileage on your car as the door handles are really worn
Click to expand...

Mileage on the car is about 140K...but the reason the door handles are in that state is because my nieces started scraping on them with a knife...I was washing the car and they were inside listening to music.... !!!!

But I should replace them as well...another item to the list!!!
