tnx for comments ;)

Sorry neighbour, that one slipped past us somehow Very clean in China blue for 200kkm (I miss my D8 ), with the steering wheel on the left as nature intended Looks like you had a major clean up operation there, looking very nice afterwards.

How did you do the HIDs? Were they expensive? I'm not even bothering to look here...

[malivuk]

nothing extra, just average wash+wax and cleaning of the alu rims (they're waiting sunshine)

i bought original steel wheels 15'' for winter setup...

HID - xenon lights? i don't have them... regular halogen bulb...
we have new law for traffic and you can have xenon only if it's original (from manufacturer), with washers and automatic nivelation... otherwise - no way...

i have problem with my Clarion (single CD) - it doesn't read any CD... everything is "ok", it's loading and bring 00.00 Track1 on display..and... nothing... laser?

[steve_earwig]

Maybe, try giving it a clean - you can't make it any worse!

Sorry, I was trawling through your photobucket account, must be another car. I'm not sure what the law is here but I don't suppose the police could make it out of the bar long enough to notice...

[malivuk]

well, as a taxi we have 2 ordinary tehnical, and police could send you on exceptional, an make you to take out HID... + penalty...

so, it's better this way...

do you have some ideas what could i do to make it nicer?

[steve_earwig]

Besides not using it as a taxi? I don't know, I always go for standard 'cos I'm boring and terminally short of cash. I suppose, if I was back in the UK and had access to that sort of thing I'd consider putting a leather interior in mine. Might be easier to clean vomit off too...

[malivuk]

i forgot to say that I should get 406 for myself, and father will buy sometning new...

i don't like leather i thought about some 17 inches wheels, window tint, better speakers...

[steve_earwig]

Ok, leather optional, besides it's just like plastic in the summer. Tints look nice on a karavan, I must say. Not so keen on expensive alloys but I'm not sure if the roads are as bad there as they are here (probably).

I put some 6 inch speakers in the back door of my D8, it improved things greatly. There are holes in the sheet metal already, all you need to do is carefully make holes in the trim panel and find a way to get the wires through.

[malivuk]

i'd buy used wheels, (something like that) with tyres... not perfect option, but...

do you have some pics? (speakers in rear doors)

and, ofcourse, roads are terrible... my friend burst a tyre and he screw rim on a highway...

[steve_earwig]

I mean in back door/tailgate (vrata na kepeku), I didn't bother to take any pics (and now it's gone ) but if you take the trim off you'll see what I mean.

[malivuk]

where r u from?

i'll check that
