It was pretty much a last resort Steve. In ALL my previous cars there has been ample (& accessible) space in the sills under the doors to run cables, even fairly chunky ones like I have. This is the best install I have ever done, and have gone all out (within my budget) to do the best install I...

Continued/ 11 Negative terminal inc main chassis ground to bolt head on right 12 Positive & Negative Cables 13 Positive & Negative Cables Close up. They are routed down the back of the bulkhead into conduit, away from anything moving or very hot like the exhaust etc. The main fuse & all...

Managed to do a bit more work on the install on Monday. Firstly there was "Upgrading the Big Three" OE car wiring is built down to a price, and is also built to a certain spec. Car manufacturers will build to a price point/standard, but if you imagine how much wiring they put into every car...

Good work Rich, I used an aluminium mesh on my car but for a different reason/application http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/16603-upgrading-the-accord-icdti-ice-many-questions-hopefully-answers-too/page-5

I have, but I decided the go with black as to not draw attention to the area when the car is parked rather than have something contrasting if that makes sense? I mean I could go for a black Carbon dip but would need to do the gear surround, door switches & cup holder the same?

There is a link at the bottom of my first post above that may help you?

Thanks mate :blush:

Just bought these bits, will have to sit down carefully to mod it once I have the key cut & happy with it. Someone mentioned a red Honda badge, where do you get those from?

Hey i just found what I was looking for, unsure if this will help but take a peek anyway as it might along with the links I posted earlier.... Flip Key Conversion

I saw a thread a week or two back about buying a flip out style key from ebay along with a 3 button insert. It had nice pictures too. I have now bought the eBay flip out key and key fob, but now I can't find the walkthru on how to swap it all over. maybe someone will be able to help us all if...

I have heard there is major issues with those units and the Diesel. I'm going Double DIN but in a different way, http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/16603-upgrading-the-accord-icdti-ice-many-questions-hopefully-answers-too/page-4

I still have to cut the hole in the "ski hatch" but to give you an idea

Ski Hatch Grill done. Firstly cut the aluminum mesh to shape A bit of colour so it doesn't look out of place But the Honda doesn't have a Ski Hatch i hear you say? Well you are correct, but it will have one of sorts, or should I say bass port in a similar way to the one in my old Lexus...

It's taking way way longer than expected, due to health & work issues, but I'm sure it will be so worth it for the smile I'm gonna have when it's finished...

None of this work would have been necessary had the Metra kit actually fitted perfectly. I just can't understand why is us so difficult for a UK based manufacturer like Autoleads etc to actually produce a Double DIN facia (rather than the trial & error of one from the USA or China) for the 7th...

Ha ha ha

I'm not sure it quite deserves that reaction, but I'm pretty happy with it, so thanks mate :)

Before shot After shot It's never going to be perfect out of a spray can at home, but it's a pretty decent job in the end There is now a delay as my pal is busy on overtime & i have docs/hospital appointments etc, but the last few stages are approaching. Here is a list of what is left still...

Thanks Steve I was lightly using 600 grit but it took too much off when flatting back between coats, so 800 grit upwards once the next coat has dried....

99% of the filler applied is removed with Wet & Dry Plastic Primer on, now have to wait 24 hours before I can start again with the Top Coat
