Been rather busy at work recently, so havnt had a chance to get the springs swapped around. Thought Id give it a try last weekend myself - but wasnt really able to fit my spring compressors onto the springs, doesnt seem to be enough space.
@fps_cod : The clip - I gave it a quick try - but wasnt able to actually take the armrest lid apart. Will need to do some more investigation. Im not able to pull the leather away from the plastic underneath... I might just give up and go down the magnet route.
@grantposs : They cost more to fit than i was hoping. BUT their price was alright considering its London. I needed a service, so had it all done in one go - also installed big brakes (345mm from S3) at the same time.
Will need to dig out my invoice over the weekend and can upload over the weekend.
I took the car to VolksAutos, in Sutton.
I'd definitely recommend them, they were happy to accommodate my crazy requests and numerous phone calls. They'd never done the large brake upgrade before, so were only going off of my information (Thanks to the numerous posts on the forum about it).
Hopefully I'll get some time on Sunday to start the double din conversion.
Also bought some red paint for the calipers - yes Red! I know its controversial, but I prefer the look to black calipers.
