I tryed mate but one of the wires is stuck behinde the head unit and I could'nt realy be arsed to take it out as its a PITA to get it back in propery.

I basicaly just tapped off the head unit wiring.

UPDATE : Grill & Brace

Bought myself a FK badgeless grill at the weekend and got that mounted:

Also bought myself a SeatSport Strut brace

Decided that i am going to attack my engine cover with some paint, so then i removed that

Also, managed to get a pic of the water beading (great stuff victoria wax concours)

 

[james.l]

Having big problems painting my engine cover.

I think that i am not leaving enough time between coats.

Am going to buy some stripper, get it back down to plastic and then start all over again (for the second time )

Car is looking mint mate - changed loads since last summer - looking really smart...

Clearly see you've spent time & money on her

 

[Breezapom]

if you could get a picture of behind your head unit i would be able to tell you what wires to tap into (bottom connection )as been said i dont want to take mine out as the wires were cut short so its also a PITA to sort out

Hi, very tidy ibiza
This paint problem - are you finding the paint isn't drying properly? Like, a crap, matt effect? As I had this problem with painting my brakes a few weeks ago... I asked the paint shop if something was wrong and they said its the moisture in the cold air! So i'll be leaving it till summer.

 

[james.l]

yer that is the exact problem that i was having, it seems to have been sorted now though. Just waiting to be laqured now, hopefully get this done @ the weekend.

Wiring

Here is a picture of the wiring at back of the headunit, any one give any tips of wires to tap into?

 

[Breezapom]

right now you have them out if you get your gauge and put the wires in to the top two holes (top Left) and the first one bellow it (Left side) of the plug that sits in the very bottom

i think mine was

Black/ Red
Yellow

but its only 3 wires on mine??

as a recomendation i wouldnt cut them i would go out to halfords and buy an extention unit, just so as ur not fuc**ng up the original wireing in the car, that way if you get it wrong then you get a second chance at it

 

[kenny_fr]

Have to agree wouldnt touch the original wiring wont cost much for the
adapter and then you can always cop into it and still have the original cables
sorted.

 

[Breezapom]

i just used a clip that joins the 2 together then if removed there is no need to fiddle about with sorting the wires

UPDATE: Gauge

Got my gauge fitted. Looking good

 

[Damoegan]
