    Long time with no updates.

    So since buying the car the speakers were trash, rattles and no bass whatsoever. Ended up ordering a set of BavSound speakers and what a difference they made!

    Soon after that the starter gave up, ordered one from FCP and while on a trip abroad that started also gave up, luckily I had a couple of friends to push start the car for the rest of trip haha

    To compliment the speakers I ordered a BlueBus and after a couple months it arrived, awesome product!

        Even though I have all new tail lights I still had to do the ground fix because I started to have some melting in the connector

        Now that the car was working properly with most of the equipment working correctly (looking at you parking sensors), it was time to fix the interior which was dragging down the whole car

        All new short center console and cubbies

        Kinda spoiled by the last picture, Recaro Pole Position ABE seats with Speed Engineering mounts which are soon to be upholstered in M-Texture like the rest of the interior
