Extractors: At my mates house, he was supposed to sand blast em and paint them.........Probably get them installed after tax return.

Monster tacho: Done

New Speakers: Got new speakers for the back but havn't done the front yet.

Well its good to see a few people have done the things they wanted to do ...
I have a m8 and his nick name is now "Gunna" as thats all he says about his car .. So i was thinking how many other people out there say / want things but never do ..

I have a new list of mods that i want to do.. and i set myself a good time frame to do it all ..
if i dont do it in that time then i dont do it as it musn't be that important..

Becarefull with the cheap intergrated TFT Sunvisor's. ive seen some of the cheapest Ebay ones come in on customer cars and have been quite crap quality.

Ill find out tomorrow when I could get the sunroof fitted I guess. Now what to do with the spare Roofmount TFT screen :P

You could do it your self it is not all that hard ..
I just done mine 2 weeks ago and i did have a small leak from the plastic clips as they where not tight enough.
I did not have the right screws for the clips and the thread pitch was diffrent to every thing at the shops so i made do with " close enough is good enough " but i was wrong and it leaked through the top where it mounts the hold down clips.
Since then i have replaced the clips and screws and now no more leaks
