They are all chipped and have random marks on them. Such a shame cos they have the potential to look good. They are a very poor weight and rather fragile like plastic.

what about issota? ur local halfords can supply the stuff and its all pucka quality...available in chrome for 25ish or ally for 45ish if i remember my price guide correctly.

 

[cliopower]

yeah ill have to have a look in halfords. looking to spend about £25. Problem with ripspeed is they never have anything in stock.

Where did you get it from? Speeding.co.uk? John what head unit it that? And does it still work with the controls on the steering wheel?

 

[ClioJohn]

i got it from demon tweeks, its a richbrook gear surround

the head unit is a pioneer 7400mp, no it dosent work with the controls!

but i can do without the controls, considering its such a good hu.

how do u actually fit it though>? does any1 know how hard it is to change the gaitor??

 

[Dansta]

easy as havin a poo when yav got dioreah! *spelling**

 

[ClioJohn]

its a full scale pain in the ass tbh.

fitting the surround is easy, just drill some guide holes and then screw in the self tappers.

fitting the gaitor is a pain in the ass and tbh i wouldnt bother.

 

[Dansta]

my gaitor was easy, aftr removin the gearknob, as long as you have one of thosefunky clip things to replace the one you need to break to get it off. lol

 

[David]

and where would i aquire one of those funky clip thingys? i wanna do it cause i have a new gear knob and the gay grey gaitor looks sh*te
