----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First off i didnt like the ugly rear wiper so i swaped it for an aero wiper

i also installed my HU and created my own custom screen

wiper before

wiper after

Head Unit

and here's a clearer pic of the image on the screen

Loving the HU but that rear wiper is way short!?!? Isn't the Fabia wiper a little longer than that?

 

[stuart86]

the wiper was from my polo.. i cut it down so that it looked more "euro"

so now its on the leon it looks even smaller, its only temperary until i get a fabia rear wiper

 

[olaf]

Wiper is too small and you could have got a better looking woman on your background

 

[stuart86]

lol

wiper will be replaced soon as i get the fabia one.. well soon as i get some cash to pay for it

i made the background myself so can change/edit/swap as much as i like

i thought the pretty blonde worked well and she also came ready on a dark background which made my life easier in photoshop

all coments welcome and i forgot to metion i will keep this thread updated with my developments

 

[olaf]

What you got planned for it then?

 

[jonjay]

Go to dealer and pick a fabia wiper up for £17.

Olaf you going to pop down one weekend to check out me motor, remember you asking me before?

 

[olaf]

Yeh I will Jon.

Wont be for a couple of weeks though, got exams to get out of the way first

What screen setup do you have? Half naked women is always a good thing IMO, bettered only by fully naked women!

Keep up the good work

 

[stuart86]

id like to keep things simple/oem if possible

HID headlights
Aero Wipers
Alloys
Tints
Lower
Sunglasses holder/replacment grab handle
front bonnet seal mod
chrome bonnet/boot lifter hydro struts
ARB's
front strut brace
painted calipers

and a few other bits that im picking up on as i go

Keep up the good work

ive got the pioneer avic x1r
touch screen, dvd, mp3, sat nav etc etc

then i just changed the settings so the buttons lit up red to match the interior lighting

fully naked woman would be great, but i dont want to offend anyone and it also keeps this thread work safe lol

didnt realise they were that inexpensive

i will get that ordered asap

 

[andy-g-lfc]

wipers a bit daft like

 

[The MoffMeister]

i had that rear wiper give it a while it'll annoy you and judder all over the place

 

[stuart86]

cheers for the info strech79

im going to go for the fabia rear wiper as i like the clean look of it

i barely use my rear wiper so the fact that this one only clears 50% of the rear window dosent bother me too much for now.

Front aeros are my main buy next for wipers

 

[stuart86]

LATEST UPDATE

found water in my passenger footwell.

i checked the panel filter cover and it was bent under itself

ive now cleaned it up and put it on properly, its still drying now as we speak

might get an old towel in there to help soak it up.

fingers crossed i dont have another issue with it or water ingress

 

[jedi knight]
