Just bought C4S seal grey 2002 56,000 fpsh....

[C4SHONEY]

Hi guys,

Had quite a few quick cars (m3, TVR, RS6), but I have now finally scratched the 911 itch.

A few questions for you:

1) any suggestions for servicing/ upgrades in surrey? (nr. Cobham)
2) don't have BOSE or sat Nav, thinking of upgrading to a pioneer double din but any suggestions on speaker upgrades?

Bought the car from Cridfords, so far I have to say happy with them.

And, yes, it is the best handling car I have had.

Thanks in advance..

David, congts on the purchase. You need to post some pics!

We've done a couple of installations of these type of units including my own car. You have to move the a/c to open the space for a double din and also get a good quality surround to keep it looking as standard as you can with a double din.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Try GT One at Chertsey for servicing etc... their premisis aren't to OPC standards, but they have been excellent when I've used them, and I have friends who use them too.

It monitors parameters from the DME. Don't worry you won't need it in your car

[Red27]

+1 for wanting to know the full details about that unit - a great job!

Charlie, it doesn't give you any more power mate

The one I have is the original but you cannot buy these new now. They have produced a new version which is a little more bling which we sell. The product is detailed here

BTW, there is one of the original ones available on ph at the moment http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3316644.htm

Yes it is mate.

Think I prefer the new one, will have to wait till after the new year though, just bought another car and her indoors wants some new lights in the Kitchen.

+1 Friendly, helpful and very recently supplied and fitted my rear tyres at a good price

Probably the best picture I have to hand. Kenwood DNX9240BT with ipod/iphone cable run around from the back to plug into. Has all the functions I needed and you can see the background/screen colour to match colour used on dash etc.

I think I met you the day you test drove your 911, I bought the slate grey C4s they had in stock on the same day!

[Red27]

Looks great 996ttalot - good job.

[carparkno1]

Can I ask you guys how you found Cridfords to be in terms of chat, negotiations and value?

I really like the look of the below car, and at 15995 it represents decent value? - it has Sat Nav and a few extras like rear parking assist.

Nice, I think Slate Grey look s great, very understated colour. I was deciding between slate and meteor grey for my wheels some months back, both great colours when clean/polished up!

[CraigVmax]

slate grey is one of the best 996 colours imho, enjoy it!
