Added Aux connection, can't believe I've waited this long!
Pretty simple once you get the vents out!
Sound quality could be better, slight hissing noise between tracks that's a bit annoying!

Your 108s look superb ! Are the spokes metallic black or dark grey ? Please post photos when they are fitted on your Zed as I'd love to see them. Very tempted to do a set myself.

Make sure that your source volume (i.e. on your phone or iPod) is turned up all the way then you'll probably need to turn down the car stereo volume and the noise should be gone.MefiEcosse wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2017 7:13 pm Added Aux connection, can't believe I've waited this long!

I've ordered another jack point cable to see if that helps, although the one I'm using is new one that cam with aux cable from fruity cables.
The noise isn't that bad but just a little irritating!

Removed the bumper, changed the lights (temporarily) back to the standard lights. Will be resplitting the old lights as I fancy a change to add some DRL and LED indicators.
Whilst bumper was off, just done a complete clean out of the front end, and polished up the plastics. Removed the old fog lights, looking to refurb or replace as the lenses are a bit faded through years of road crap abuse.
Will be replacing the bumper tomorrow, as #108 is going in for a pamper at the local paint shop - just getting the wings and bonnet re sprayed to fix a couple of lacquer peels and stone chips.

Many company car parks now have parking arrows on the spaces (alternating front-end and back-end first), so you can always park passenger-side to passenger-side. Helps with the dings...perhaps suggest it to them?

I changed my seats a while ago from e85 black to e46 black then to e46 red. (Both black sets are still for sale) It just looked wrong with the door cards. So today I bit the bullet and changed the leather pieces. Not perfect, but much better.
