I currently have the alpine cda-9812rb headunit, amazing unit with 60w per channel of internal power, also getting pretty rare these days. The unit is however starting to look a bit dated now and I was wondering what else is recommended (from those of you who still have single din units in...

Just arranged for a long weekend (Fri-Mon) with Mrs. Gaz in February, so I guess warm clothing will be the order of the day! Never been to Sweden before, I've heard that Stockholm is eye-wateringly expensive for, well, everything so going in with my eyes open in that respect. As we're a...

As the heading says, just seeing what good firms are out there. Am a bit cautious after my mate went to a car wash firm and they soaked the comfort unit under the passenger footwell. So anywhere you've used and got great service would be much appreciated. Thanks.

As above really, having bought my car on Wednesday knowing the rear windows were cracked and the trailing edge frayed I need to do something about my soft top. Unless someone suggests otherwise I'm assuming replacing just the rear section is a non starter as it's likely the front section has...
