Just bought myself a 2006 Non Aero 3 MPS in Silver. Being just past 40, I've left my spoiler days behind me - I'm looking to build a fast yet comfortable Q Car. The old Mk1 non Aero is perfect for the job. As a result, I won't be lowering, and am even looking to take the oversized exhaust tip that the previous owner put on, and fit something a bit more ordinary. First project is to replace the stock head unit with a Ca-Fi 621000. I should be ready to get cracking at the beginning of October, so any tips anybody has would be much appreciated. I've paid up for annual membership, and I seem to remember there is a guide to replacing head units that somebody has written for members only. Anybody know where I can find it ? I am planning to do a photo by photo guide and review.

Thanks for all the welcomes and the links to the useful info section. I really shouldn't have looked their cause my list of possible projects has just doubled and the bank balance might be going the other way.... :wink:
