jamiea7x Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 i just used gloss back from halfrauds but the finish was terrible so sanded it back and tcutted it up to a high gloss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Nice one. Did you sand the plastic first or just sprey straight on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenSilverLupo Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Very nice, how did you remove the bit of dash to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 yea pretty much sanded the plastic smooth and used some filler primer to even it outto remove the it you have to take out the cd playerand cubby/radiothen theres three scres holding it inone on each side and one inside atthe back pretty slef explanatory once the cd units are outas for the top bit its more trick as it seem to be plastic welded in so you have to pretty much snap all the welds out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiea7x Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Thats a fantastic mod!That'd be great for an iPhone.yea it wouldjust need to figure out how to hard wire my ipod charger soi can have it charging aswell as im only running it using the aux in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Theres loads of spare fuses in the fuse board, wire it direct to that then your charger plug still works. Do you have a pic of the build progress? And of the holder without the iPod in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a pic of the build progress? And of the holder without the iPod in place?i was just going to branhc of the headunits power but i bought a cheapy in car charger of ebay and looks like thisi thout it would have been two wires but its onyll 1 wire and a spring insterad of another wire so not sure how to wire that exactlyheres the piccy shite quality tho but u get the jist of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 isnt the spring the earth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxg Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 That's very odd, because:- there's normally an in-line fuse in the centre of those things, this is what the spring should be pressing against (the centre of the ciggie lighter is +ve- that red wire is just downright confusing - I'm guessing it's actually -ve??Weird.Just do what I do - get a cheap ciggie extender from halfords and hack the plug end of that apart. Wire add your own inline fuse and wire that into the fuse box. Then you can keep the adaptor (which include the voltage regulator) for the equipment itself intact. I have this arrangement sitting on my parcel shelf under the drivers wheel. Works well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works well...the red wire was attatched to like the metal bits on the side biut i just snipped it off/so u recommned sticking it back together and just hid an extender behind the dash sumwer?
