Hey buddy, that’ll be a tidy little setup you’ll have there. Usually when I’m doing crossovers in a Commodore, my crossover gets mounted in the kick panels of each side. This is also the easiest place to intercept the wiring. There is absolutely no benefit to running new wiring from the...

So this thread caused me to finally log back in after 18months. Why? What was the reasoning for putting a single din down there? The only thing I can think of is that using the replacement fascia is too cost prohibitive? In which case... fair enough!

Just to add to that... many 6.5” speakers are imposters!!!! Well, sort of. They are listed as being a 6.5” but are in fact a 6” but have mounting tabs for a 6.5”. Easiest way to tell is to look at the speakers mounting holes. A TRUE 6.5” will only have 4 screw holes whereas a 6” will have a...

It would be a case of cutting out the centre section between the radio pocket and the pocket below and some trimming of the top of lower pocket to allow the screen to come down. I’m going to assume there will be a 10-15mm gap between the bottom of the screen and the bottom of that lower pocket...

No unfortuately. Tried taking them multiple times with and without flash but it just shows a nice shiny surface.

Thats because you are the man Ryder. Still really impressed with the VW you did for us. Anyway, not much to update. The RACV assessor contacted me annd I explained the situation regarding the orange peel, panel gaps could've been better but one was a disaster and the Merc star logo sits proud...

While I appreciate your input, I think you might have a couple of things back to front.

Waiting to hear back from RACV regarding getting it assessed. They wanted me to take it back to the original repairer to which I reminded them that I've already complained to them and was told it was within "specification" and on top of that, I wasn't keen on the two hour round trip for them to...

So... completed everything on the list and then sold it off. Replaced it with an e36 BMW with complete AC Schnitzer body kit, Antera 101 16" rims and Remus exhaust. Kinda like this one so looks like I will hang on to it for a bit.

True. To completely remove it, you will need to cut the key away from it. It is glued in place. Done dozens of them for remote starts.

So I stray away from JC for a bit... then this happens. Like stockies... stalking in the background lol

Not neccessarily, but they are still responsible regardless. In regards to their insurance, it would totally depend upon their actual policy. E.G. My policy covers third party damage, so and so forth... but since I so rarely need to drive a customers vehicle (2-3 times a year and rarely leave...

I honestly thought it would've been 2K but in reality, I'm happy with acrylic. The colour is a gloss black and no metallic. Im happy with the colour, blending and depth. Just the peel...

I'll be speaking to RACV today. As yet, they are unaware of my concerns. They've always been fairly helpful in the past. I'm guessing that they've done it quickly and cheaply on the premise that the majority of Mercedes-Benz owners don't know what to look for. I know that a 13 year old C class...

Thats right. I remember now that insuramce companies are pricks like that. Often having a preset amount of what they'll pay for a particular repair. Still I just can't accept this. I don't want to be an arse but I'm beyond disappointed over the quality.
