Just out of interest re the headunit display, when using the adapter (i'm assuming it the alpine vdi one?) do you just get garbled s**te on the dash screen?

i have an alpine stalk adapter fitted for my alpine h/u, the dash screen stays normal, it displays the time and temp but has 'Alpine' on it instead of the h/u info

You don't I think lol, i've had to revert to my CAD adapter because I just couldn't get it to work. I think its something to do with the new units using the red version of the vehicle display interface as my 9855R which i had before the 9887R I have now worked brilliantly. As the only difference is red vdi on the 9887R and blue vdi on the 9855R I can only put it down to that.

Yeh i've got one of those too but the alpine one is waaaay cooler as it displays all types of info on the screen.

Got my wheels back on and Im very pleased with them. Ended up sticking with silver but was given 3 choices, silver, silver with flake or silver with extra flake. Went for the extra flake! Makes some difference in the sunshine!

Anyway heres some quick pics of it.

Iain, yeah they are! RM Coatings in Livi did them for a shade under £200, well pleased with them.

Aye, I forgot to text later on Gareth sorry! Was knackered by the time we left!

Went down the Borders Dave, 150 odd miles. Brakes are well bedded in, tyres are a lost cause and 10 miles from home my CTS went mental again, time to fit the new one methinks!
