    If you get it to that height, that would be perfect.

    That height looks sweet and the VE mags look really good. Might have to keep an eye out for them.

    Oh how hard was it installing those Calais window trims

    this is because it is the little thing alpine do with their hu that makes them worth the $$$ i have had a few different touch screens in older cars of mine, when i put one in my ss i went straight to alpine and it was the best ting i have done, so many little features that make me so much happier with it than other units i have

    Ye, so happy with the SSV's.

    Dont think ima swap the SSV's just set, keen to get the SSV's sprayed black with white or blue walls. and see how that looks.

    The Supersports i was looking at were rashed pretty badly and the tyres would need replacing in 5k or so.

    Bit of Roll Here, and There, and a bit over there, and a bit here. o and a bit more roll when parallel parking

    Few more pics, ( Shitty Iphone Ones ) picture of the roof after the paint correction i did over w /e ( after being in the rain for a few days ) This used to be covered in light scratches and swirls. Decent effort for my first attempt at using a machine polisher

    [​IMG]

    and an eyecandy sticker, just to keep you all happy :p - and probably the last time i will be able to get down my Cousins driveway. Believe it or not it scraped today getting out of the driveway. No wonder he has a lift kit on his navara

    o_O - Suitable that your asking the question :p

    Also known as machine polishing, paintwork correction is the reduction or removal of marks in the top layer of paint to produce a more refined finish.

    Paint correction can involve either the hand or machine application of varying grades of cleanser, polish or compound. The majority of work is usually done with rotary machine polishers to get the best level of correction.


    So basically, Claying your Car - Removing all contaminants.
    Polishing the car with multiple levels of cutting compounds and finishing compounds to remove scratches, swirls, holograms ect.
    and then finishing with a sealant or wax :)


    Im teaching myself atm, so in a few months il give it another crack and try remove the deeper scratches and swirls in certain area's, But for my first go i am fairly happy as i have removed majority of swirls and scratches from the paint :)
