M17TT180's ZS no.5
 

Well she is home and every bit as good as Dan said it was, well after I prised the keys from his cold dead hand.

So much better than the astra and much better than the ZS I had before.

Got lots of ideas already, will update this thread as I go.

For now back to driving such a fantastic car!

Me likey :)

Nice car, so Dan is zedless.

well done matt knew you wouldnt be away for long,dans done some nice touches on it aswell

FFS! I didn't even realise he had put his private plate on it! :slap:

At least it has found a good home, nice aquisition.

Very nice!

Glad you like it. Get well soon and drive safe.

What's next then dan?
A silver mk1 hatch? ;) ;)

Yep a lovely car and a credit to its, once again, zedless previous owner:)

Looks lovely. Can't help but feel it's missing something... oh yeah, a spoiler and a new console! :p

All in good time.

I think Gary may have his old spoiler up for sale soon.

Nice car, suprised Dan let you have it...........

I was thinking about a mid level one, hopefully in the right colour so it can go straight on.

I can be very persuasive!

Very nice

All cleaned up and ready for POL.

Well stage 1 of todays work is completed:

Spoiler isn't immaculate, its missing one of the side bolts and had a few niks and scratches which I have covered up with an old signmaking trick - black permanant marker! Will get the black redone soon.

Anyway just gonna have something to eat then stage 2 will commence.

Smokeys console!!

Already spent this morning sticking a load of tunes on the tablet ready for testing.

Yay! I'm excited anyway!

Doesn't look too bad I suppose ..... :whistle:

Stage two almost complete.

Just a couple of things to do,

Fit the carbon wrapped dash strip - will do this tomorrow.
Work out how to make the tablet auto connect to the headunit.

All in all very happy well done smokey you have created something wonderful! Really freshens up the interior.

I agree, the centre console, and gear lever surround looks so much better than the standard parts.

Looks cracking that.good work lads.

If you leave bluetooth on the tablet should auto connect. Does with mine anyway. I also need to master the art of vinyl wrapping but getting better. Glad you're happy with it.

It does look good, but can't help thinking that with the tablet so low, it'll be a bit of a challenge to see the display etc and would mean looking away from the road to see it.....

I really don't want that to be taken as a criticism, just an observation. :blush:

Well once you've set what music you want to listen to then you can change it from the headunit.

Its more for show than anything, no one else has one (yet).

Will have to see how it goes with the satnav tho.

Also the missus is usually in the car so she can use it whilst I drive.

It was my worry too, which is why the initial layout had the stereo underneath but space restrictions stopped that idea.

To be honest, I ran with it in my car for a few hours and it didn't feel particularly low. I don't look at it when driving and the sat nav does the talking although it is still clear and bright so glancing down its visible enough.

I also have steering controls for my head unit so don't need to touch the screen for changing volume or tracks.

Well another thanks to Smokey
