Got some more work done. Tried spraying the wheels for the first time see how they turned out.
Turned out a bit darker than I wanted but in person they look pretty good on the silver body.

Sanded them down

Right so ordered a Jap Scrap radio cause I couldn't get hold of a Skoda MFD.

Here is the work

Here is the Jap scrap radio I got.

Took the old Fusion radio I got with it out.

Had to take off the glove box to fit it properly and wire the GPS dongle through too.

All done fitted and GPS Very rarely wrong.

To be honest I prefer this radio over the MFD it doesnt fit as flush as id like it to but it has a lot more features.
You can also run any Win CE GPS software I find iGO Primo with latest maps to be the best so far.

Also got time to clean the seat for the first time ever by the looks of it.

Here is a picture of the drivers seat before cleaned

This was to compare how bad it was.

This is it all cleaned up and dry. Lighting doesnt do it any justice.

Some more little mods I got done this week!

Picked up a second Chrome Grille from the scrap yard and wrapped my old one in matte black. Just in case I ever want to go back to chrome I have the back up.

Also dewipered the rear as I never use it and looks cleaner in my opinion.

Also wrapped my friend's kidney grille of his E60 for the laugh.
