Why not fit it yourself, it's very simple.

I thought about it, but seeing as i have zero experience with car electrics and i've had the car 2 days, i don't want to mess something up tbh

I've seen that video, thanks. I agree it looks fairly straightforward but i'm a complete novice and would rather pay the money for a pro to do it.

Eww Sunderland. Well if you've still not fitted it by the time I'm next back in Newcastle which I think is the weekend of the 9th August I'll give you a hand if you want.

Sunderland must be really bad if people from Newcastle turn their nose up at it!

can't argue with that. 👍

Washington has a NE37 postcode which is serviced by Mackemland city council.

If you dont get it done, here's a couple of options:

http://www.autosounds.co.uk/
http://www.washington-autoelectrics.co.uk/

If people are saying do it yourself then I don't suppose it's that's difficult. I was scared to attempt a front and read dash cam and almost paid Halford £50. I did it 30 minutes!



Can I do a bit of hijacking on this NE thread as I'm looking for a exterior clean and wax. Have you used BULLET 40% CARNAUBA WAX or the company before.

My good mate used to work at pristine clean hes now gone over to another company nearby ive just had mine stage 3 polished with a 3 year ceramic coat last by him week and it looks better than new. If I knew how to attach pics I'd put some up. If you want his number send me a PM I'm sure he'd sort you a good price

Ps sorry for the hijack

Washington is no-mans land.
Both Sunderland and Newcastle don't want it

Hi Murphy

Did you get this sorted in the end?

I’m in the exactly the same position and would be keen to know if you found someone to install this for you?
