Got myself a new head unit:

I didnt want a screen, but i did want to fill the gap, it does MP, IPOd, USB, streams music from phone via bluetooth, handsfree kit, etc.

My plan is to buy a 160gb hard drive and plug it into the usb port which will mean all my music will be in one place reducing the amount of CD's etc.

What do you think ??

If I'm honest it's a pretty ugly device, which doesn't seem to offer anything more than a single DIN unit would, except it being freakishly large. To each his own though.

lol :lol: i'm not a massive fan either i'm afraid although i'd need to see it in the flesh...i think the best option for a 6n2 because of the shape of the dash is a touch screen carputer

Seems a little silly to take 'originality' so far that it sacrifices funcitonality though? :?

They're popular for a reason that most of them are highly equipped with literally everything you'd need. And there's plenty of them out there to not be clashing heads with everybody at meets.

You probably have many a reason to why you bought this one though, and I'm sure it does what you want it to. so Enjoy!

I had to higher it to get the Borbets on but i am planning on getting the arches rolled to i can go down a abit more again.

Also the wheel company sent me the wrong centre caps and i should be getting the flat caps during this week.

The wheels are indeed 16's, what do you want to know about the vinyl roof ?

A company in Burton upon Trent called Lime Turtle did the work for me, he normally charges about £160 to have what i have had
