The problem is that the can in my hand is hot , the slab is cool in the fridge

Haha, drink em quicker. Problem solved.

Saw this on ebay. Reckon they'd be easy to make / worth it / sound any better?

would give you a little bit more loudness , but not quality i would think . would have to be careful with the ecu behind there too

Update: in case you haven't read around the forums my car is off the road for a while, had a fuse problem it didn't break properly or something and fried the bcm and melted half the wiring together. So whole dash has to come out and the wiring and bcm get replaced, and new key heads.

But since I'm pulling the dash out I'll be putting in a stato dash and other interior bits which will result in additional woodgrain

Of the incredibly large kind. Yeah dude so lucky it didnt happen while driving, and that it happened when i was 200m from an auto elec lol.
Car will be off the road for a few weeks getting new wiring and a dash/interior facelift! stay tuned

Hi Nathan .. I've just read ALL 20 pages in this thread. I read all your highs and lows in getting your Calais sorted. You are an inspiration to all young guys and old blokes like me. I've just started on a VR Berlina, that was initally bought for my son 5 years ago. I hope that your latest drama with the wiring leads to a stunning look with the Stato dash. I'd like to do the woodgrain upgrade as well, so I wait in anticipation for your next installment. Good luck to you.

Hey, wow that would have been quite a read. Yeah I guess you just learn that anything can be fixed and you can tackle any job and just not to give up, you really end up making something unique that you really love and the best part is sharing with other people what you've put so much TLC into. I'm getting the car towed home next week when all the parts willing be coming via the post, I'll get started and post regular updates.

Good luck with the berlina they are great cars, post a thread be sure to link me on it.
