Default Hi

Hi.
I'm Ian from the UK. Recently purchased a 05 crossfire limited edition. Just looking for some help regarding interior modification that can be made. Any help or advice on anything would be appreciated. Also would like to know where is the best place to buy parts from the US which ships to the UK.
Look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks for your time.
Ian

Welcome aboard, parts can be a pain but I got a carbon fibre dash kit from carid.com and a CF shifter off eBay. The pioneer stereo off Halfords and its plug and play so no wires to mess with.

Brilliant thanks.
How easy was the dash kit to fit? Also regarding the stereo, did you use any wiring harness adaptors?

Dash kit was dead easy, stereo plugs straight into stock harness. You don't even need to get a facia as it fits flush in space of stock radio.

Here's mine, CD, DAB Bluetooth, phone ready, AUX input etc perhaps most importantly for me colour change so it can be set to match your interior. The HPF filters and other audio controls means it works great with our stock amps and rear subs.

Dash kits are easy but there is a more realistic dash kit from Rvinyl that is easier and a lot cheaper too. A tip, remove the whole console, paint it matte black, then apply the CF kit and reinstall, it looks almost real. I think there is a picture in my album.

To each his own as they say. I personally prefer the the the look I'm running where the kit leaves the borders exposed in the stock trim as it doesn't make the buttons and dials look out of place.
