Dave's IS200 Sport - DaveEdin - 05-01-2019

Great Marc, thanks for that

:lol: You wish Chris... I told you you shoulda got ormi to order one for you as well, then you might have got it delivered at the meet on Sunday. But if you're determined to have mine, I'll sell it to you for £200... :biggrin: :wink:
Oli, these were the sidelights, and these were the bulbs I got.
Dave's IS200 Sport - Dark Samurai - 05-01-2019
You mean repeaters
side lights are the little 501's in the headlights mate Thanks mate hopefully get a set.
Dave's IS200 Sport - DaveEdin - 05-01-2019
Call 'em what you like, you know what I mean :p
They're about £15 including the bulbs, save your pocket money and buy them for your dad's birthday or something
Dave's IS200 Sport - Dark Samurai - 05-01-2019
No mate I'll just put dibs on them instead
I know what you meant Dave
Looking good and you're making good progress!
Dave's IS200 Sport - DaveEdin - 05-01-2019
Getting there slowly, thanks Oli...
Having a bit of confusion over the stereo setup though, it doesn't quite fit into the fascia properly... Taken a few pictures but you can't easily see what I mean from them so you'll have to accept the running commentary!
This is the stereo as I got it out the box (a JVC KW-AVX810) with the standard clipped on bit of plastic trim:
![[Image: IMAG0449.jpg]](http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad36/daveplank/IMAG0449.jpg)
This is the stereo without it
![[Image: IMAG0450.jpg]](http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad36/daveplank/IMAG0450.jpg)
This is the stereo with the outer trim of the double din fascia (note the gap between stereo and fascia)
![[Image: IMAG0451.jpg]](http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad36/daveplank/IMAG0451.jpg)
This is the stereo with the double din fascia & internal trim:
![[Image: IMAG0463.jpg]](http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad36/daveplank/IMAG0463.jpg)
The last one looks OK, but it's very much jammed onto the head unit, meaning the removable face is not removable - and also (presumably) the ability to tilt/open would be a bit of an issue since it's jammed into the trim so tightly, meaning it'd be somewhat difficult to use...
Should I try to cut down the thickness of the interior trim a bit? Seems a bit risky (as in I might cut off my thumb, knowing me). A final option that occurred to me was to put the fascia & internal trim on and then let the stereo sit with its original trim just outside of that. I'd rather (if possible) have it fitting in nicely and with all functions available.
Anyone got one of these (or similar) and can advise?

SHAHZ Moley get some LS side repeaters on it, look much better than the stock IS ones, i had them on mine, then got hold of a smoked set, probably still got the clear set somewhere.... not the best of pics but here is my smoked ones!

Cars looking good Dave
shaz where did you get your side smoke lighst from sorry dave slightly :offtopic:
Dave's IS200 Sport - DaveEdin - 06-01-2019
Presumably somewhere like this - eBay search is your friend.
I think the LS side repeaters changed sizes at some point though, and you need to be sure you get the right ones to fit the IS - though I like the ones I got better than the LS ones personally...
Anyhoo... Anyone know how I can power up this stereo without fitting it to the car so I can see what range of movement it needs to tilt/open etc?
Hunting last night (and being pointed at a thread by Woz, thanks for that matey) I saw deckie had to cut the bottom bit of the internal frame off to fit his - anyone know if this is the way I should be going?

Doesnt the facia kit come with a surrounding trim? might be a better fit using that rather the the HU one

Guy on LOC bought a few LS repeaters and got them professionally sprayed years ago

Them repeaters look naf! lol!!
you can power the HU by conecting it directly to the battery using 2 wires......although make sure you confident which is the live on the HU connector block otherwise bye bye HU :Overkill:
