  • I should have done this modification a while back. So easy & cheap and changes the look of the car. The 1 Series project is slowly coming together can't wait to get the front bumper on!
    What do you guys think of a Track Day in the Audi TT??

    Cheap and easy mod for the Shark Fin, but be aware that the seal isn't great using the 3m tape provided, and water can get in under the Aerial and start to corrode the roof! (and the electrical connection) as it just sits there underneath and slowly rots. What I did was to use some silicon sealant too, just to be safe. I have done this mod to my Seat Leon, and my Mini R56 (on my channel) if anyone wants to take a look :)

  • @RSOsbornn
    @RSOsbornn 4 роки тому +2

    Glad you finally changed the side lights. Personally I don’t like the new fin. It makes the rear end look weird with your spoiler. I stuck a really small Carbon bee sting aerial on my E81 which makes it look (in my opinion) more unique than all the other generic shark fins out there. Keep up the good work though, at the end of the day it’s you car so only you have to like it!

    These Videos are Huge mate! Been watching the complete 1 Series. You've given me bunch of ideas. It's kind of inspirational. Nice to see what can be done for okay money for normal blokes like us.
    I would love for you to change the Head Unit to an Android Model. Been looking myself but I'm quite doubtful of what to get and how to get cracking. I bought a 1 DIN radioplayer and this totally did not match so i lost about 160 pounds. Will you be changing the radio to a aftermarket Android model someday? You can get pieces to fit on the dashboard instead of the useless dashboard storage space. Also get an iDrive unit for about 250 pounds. But Like I said, I would be so happy should you make an How TO about this.
    Cheers mate!
