As the CD/Cassette unit is double din I'd buy one of the storage/shelf kits and fit a single din unit with usb....
Just keep the double din for posterity! 😉
Even cd's are a bit antiquated these days!

it had some bluetooth unit in it with a storage cubby but i like the look of the original ones alot more, plus i have a bluetooth speaker lol
and anyway the rattles are much louder than the music so i dont listen to music in it lmao

well i got in today and the cassette and cd players turned on, very confused lol
View attachment 75427
only issue is that when a cd is put into the cd player it just says "disc set" and a couple of - flash next to it, when i press play it stops flashing but still ejects the cd (the other buttons do the same thing, when pressed after the flashing stops its starts it again)
i know they break a ton but cant find anything on this
if anyone has run into/fixed this issue please let me know how you dealt with it
{looked a bit more and found that it could be a bad laser, which is apparently about $150, so thats going to wait lol}

May be worth trying a CD cleaner (if you can still buy them?), see if that helps?

well it started working even though i havent cleaned it, which is nice
also got new mirrors, 2 mirror glasses were like 40 so id rather spend 90 and get much nicer ones

silver coated bulbs arrived for the de-tangoed indicators ive had for a while, love how they look installed compared to ones with orange inside

using the original image for reference
also they dont have about 600 chips in them yet so thats nice

One of the first things I did was change the orange side indicators on my mk3. The clear ones look so much better.

got these led ones cheap on ebay, look really good and work well
if you are looking for indicators i recommend these

havent had much to install recently, went out for a drive and found a small lake to take some photos at though
not much left to buy for it now, so thread might not be updated as often, but theres always something going on with it

paid him, got a courier picking it up tomorrow, should arrive wednesday (also center exit exhaust? looks out of place on an na imo)
ended up costing about £60 which is pretty good when a new one is £140 (both inc postage)

I prefer red, I think it makes it look as though it belongs and not something that's been added on.
