Headlamps look much better Graham was it a difficult job to do ?

 No not really, i only partially removed bumper to access headlights, job only took about 2n half hrs and that was with 2 coffee breaks and a chat with neighbours...

went in blind not knowing what to do intially but with prior knowledge job could be done in little over a hour

didnt realise how much light the tint was stopping coming thru till i took 1 light off then put new one on then switched on lights and wow huge difference, intially was thinking of maybe a light very grey tint to put on ...but no nope not a chance now after noticing the difference

Yeah, it's a piece of cake, ask Halfords to fit it while you wait. 🤣

Beatsonic are the people to talk to unless it's going to be a whole system upgrade. The European harness version of the Beatsonic MVA13L  interface module is what you need. It's a special order direct from Beatsonic or you can import and adapt the US market version as I did. I suspect at least one of the UK car hifi installers has access to Beatsonic as I've seen 2 other SC430s with double din installs now.

Little bit of trim wrapping today, still got dash n centre console bits to do, but work n family commitments are hindering me (damned pesky children 😂)

Ps will have to strip and re wrap passenger side as carbon effect is going opposite direction to other side and my OCD is killing me 😆

That’s one big hole in the dash with it all stripped out ☹️

It does look quite dramatic but once you have done it a couple of times, it's surprising how quickly it all comes apart and goes back together.
