[jake]

It's getting there. Massive thanks goes to nick who encouraged and guided me lol.

Camera has been sent wrong twice now and the wheels won't be here till weds.

Then can start posting. Looking into remaps too

Seen the reversing camera on ebay for VW but have always wanted one for my ibiza, how hard was it to make or rather than explain would it be easier to just come and see you lol

 

[jake]

I was worried and was going to send it down to a member off here who had done one already, but once I bought the bits off ebay it was really easy. Just a few holes and some bolting and job done,

Facelift climate control bought.

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Could you send me a link or a list of what parts I need please, would be grateful

Love what your doing with the car mate

I thought the TD's looked ace but I'm sure the Rota grids will look as good if not better (sure I read that's what your getting lol)

Really nice car you have...... I wouldn't mind a K1 myself

 

[jake]

Cheers guys

Here's the guide to the camera

I'm hoping the grids look good.

you do need to code the rns510, it's just to tell it there's a reverse camera

The universal camera goes through an interface then into the unit,

It's not complete bar the camera which hids4u have cocked up twice, still waiting for the third attempt to arrive!!!!

I have an electronics genius next door, and he's made me a unit, that will take a reverse feed, then operate the servo, in the meantime it also trips a relay to cut power to the micro switch so the boot doesn't open, so the handle can open more, the power is cut after the handle shuts as the relay has a timed delay in it, so the boot doesn't get accidentally tripped.

I've also ordered a genlabs drl control unit which will drop my drls to 50% brightness, well it will when all the parts arrive for that haha

Final thing is the wheels, they still haven't arrived either, which is annoying, the custom xirrilic colour has been mixed since Monday lol

 

[jake]

wheels came in this morning and there stunning.

but were a crappy silver,

id already had my custom colour mixed so prepped the wheels and stuck them in the booth for paint,

here are the results

[jake]

jake

 

[cupra.al]

that looks so much better than it did with the previous wheels.

 

[big eck]

Stunning mate. What size are the alloys and tyres???

 

[jake]

18x8.5
18x9.5

Both et40 and both fitted with 225/40/18

But may try 235 on the rear.

Tomorrow I'm going to wind the front down. Get the car level. Not a fan of rr

 

[jake]
