Cheers mate!! Swapping the seats is 1 of the easiest upgrades to do. Disconnet the battery for 10mins prior to starting so you dont get an airbag fault light on the dash, then it's literally undoing 4 torx bolts, disconnecting the wiring and lifting them out, that's the hardest part cos you need to be careful not to scratch plastic trim or even worse...the paint, especially drivers side with steering wheel in the way, took 20mins max to swap fronts, back seat was a bit more of a pain (see my earlier post). Only other thing to mention is that unless you already have the heated seats you will need switches etc to get them to work, or just use them without the heaters. They really make a difference and can be adjusted much more than standard seats so you get the sporty feel. Main thing for me though is they're wipe clean so no worries about spills etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperOwls Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Wasn't keen on the front and rear badges with fly eye wrap so got some gel badges instead, carbon background with red logo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperOwls Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Swapped the dash top storage pocket for the ST gauge pod, I know I won't be able to get them working but it's just for effect at the moment as they look better than the cubby hole. Am looking into getting something mounted in there instead of the factory clocks at some point, maybe a touch screen sat nav if I can find one to fit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Some members here have fitted mobile phones with the torque pro app installed and IIRC someone once fitted a ScanGauge module. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once fitted st170 pods in my mk1.5 2.0 esp .bought it with loom already made. It was show purpose only. Then later fitted ghia trip changing colour & adding unique custom made dials face. In my mk2.5 titanium i fitted this Scangauge ii which gives allsorts of readings from ecu. Also a trip computer & fault code reader & eraser.
