That’s a brilliant looking upgrade, any before & after pics of the full dash?

Sorry, I usually never bother taking photos so have no proper before ones. It’s basically the first image but my car has the wood trim. The new screen is an Andream
unit recommended by @AlpineF30 which replaces the old screen and is similar in appearance to the style in the F15.

It does indeed. It only cost about £210 or so delivered and took about an hour to fit.

The only pain in the hole is that I jumped into the car this morning and one of the rear air springs have exploded. I’m not treating it to anything fancy again.

You got an x5 then? Any thread going up on it?

I did indeed, it’s only an oul beater, nothing special about it. I got a set of 20” 214 alloys the other day though so once I give them a lick of paint I’ll maybe stick a few photos up. I’m likely going to stick an aero kit on it too just.

Yep apart from the iNav one.

8K/8T wheels direct fit, the 8V A3 et all need the buttons changed as they have < > and a * button

Happy days. In my head the later buttons didn’t work.

After a set of those paddles myself.

Nice! I have the same one in mine and it's great. Just the Carplay one rather than full fat Android. I kind of want to upgrade all the speakers now though as the kids like to turn it into a bit of a party bus :joy:

Washed mine (cleanse / citra clean / ultra foam / gleam / ultra gloss / hydraclean / drying towel) - needs a quick going over with Purge, which will be here during the week (wet due rain after)

Also give the sisters car a quick going over with cleanse, citra clean, ultra foam & ultra gloss. Started raining before I was finished so didn’t dry it. It was also the first wash (albeit a contactless half one) in about a year so would need several hours more work on it

Full decontamination, clay and sealant applied over the weekend. Need to take the wheels off to get at the old stickies from getting the new tyres on and mess around with spacers - have 5mm and 8mm to try

If you decided against putting them on, message me as 15mm is too much for rear of GTi and will need 8mm or 5mm.
