Looking good! I would maybe suggest don't rush into the tourneau if you haven't already paid for it. I love all the things you have set said for it, plus the red is awesome!

Delivery!

Delivery happened today.



Turns out I got lucky and Big Red has the MY14 upgraded MFD and the MFSW with buttons on the right! Awesome

The colour coded front bar came out perfect!

SatNav

Wasted no time when I got home and installed the RNS510



Quick code with VCDS and test to pickup the satelites and done.

OPS Rear sensors working perfectly too!



Mod 1 Complete

Coded the RNS510 properly this morning, now displaying on the MFD ...

Wheels Edition 1

Fitted the BMW X5 wheels this morning. 255-60-18 Continentals on them.

Very pleased with the result, suits the Rok well



Now needing flares .....

re: sidesteps.

Wife has them on her Captiva. They serve no useful purpose. Do not want.

Also, the front mudflaps dont stop the mud from accumulating on the top of the sidesteps. 'Rock may be different.

The only reason I'm interested is that apparently due to the Amaro's height the sidesteps serves as perfect protection against opening car doors next to it ....... not sold on it yet.

Fogs

Been very busy yesterday

Fitted the front fogs mid morning
