I have to say that looks terrific. Makes the unit look much more upmarket.
Well done!

[Banjo]

That looks really good - what paint and colour did you use ?

Looks perfect now, factory finish.

Id love to do that, was it hard to take appart?

Thanks for your comments, i used paint from halfords, Rover gun metal grey.

The radio does have to come out yes, just a case of loads of scews, hardest part was removing and refitting the sd card covers. Lol

Just getting round to emulating this super mod and I'm finding it so hard to match the paint colour.

Rover Gunmetal grey is coming out most definately much lighter than the rest of the grey plastic - anyone else tried this and found a different colour to use?

Excellent job, professional even :)
