Well over the past few month's in the run up to Christmas I was saving hard for my Christmas Shopping spree. I finally managed to get everything I wanted/needed to get for friends and family this weekend so can now enjoy the run up to the big day without the stress of Christmas Shopping :D

An added benefit was I managed to complete the list under budget!! :D

So I thought, the remainder of the budget I'll treat myself with. So my project over the Xmas holiday is buy and install a new headunit and lowering springs.

It's down to two headunits:

and....

A unexpected present or two for myself and my gorgeous Bravo...... Can't wait. And I've booked it in for a full valet and mini-detail session next week at a local valet centre. Should be looking in top condtion for Santa and Rudolph :D

Where and how much? ;)

Local company in the town where I live (Bellshill about 15miles south of Glasgow).

It's a friend I used to go to school with who set up his own business about 5 years ago. Started out just washing cars and progressed from there. Was about 6 months ago that he brought in someone with professional detailing experience.

He told me to leave it with him for a day and for £50 and a few beers down the road in the local he'll do the works. A wee Xmas treat for me :D

I think with it being Xmas week next week and him only being open for two days before the holidays he's pretty quiet. So i think he's using my car to pass his time lol

nah Aberdeen is a bit too far for me!

Bellshill on the other hand isnt as far! :) Although the car would be well dirty by the time I got home!

Will just need to keep my ears open for someone doing it down in my neck of the woods!

Yeah that's the problem. Getting somewhere nearby that means a clean car when you get home :p

Luckily for me my mates place is about 45secs drive so it should be ok to get home again. Though with the salt on the road who knows :(
 
Whatever HU you get can you post some pictures of what it looks like on the dash as I'm not sure if I should change mine due to the dash looking pretty nice all standard.

I can do mate but it'll be a few weeks before I get it ordered then installed.

I am sure there is another post on here where someone has installed a Double Din Headunit.

***Yip I was right........
