A little while ago I bought a new VW polo, and we were waiting for it to get delivered.

Today, it’s standing in front of the house now, and it’ll serve as our daily car. My wife will drive it the most of the time, so I had to make a promise not to lower it or add rims on the car.

But she gave me green light for the ICE department .

The components I needed, have already been delivered, so I’m ready to go.

Still, first I want to finish the radio in the bimmer, cause I was never good at working on 2 projects at the same time.

I’ll open a project-topic for the Polo when the works start.

Soon more about this.

hey, ik heb gemerkt dat je last hebt van woorden die slecht vertaald worden, of slecht op de site komen te staan, als je wil kan je je teksten in het nederlands doorsturen naar mij, dan vertaal ik ze in het engels en stuur ze trug naar jou door.

En de bouw van je bmw heeft mij terug interesse gegeven in het uitbouwen van auto's een dode passie van vroeger.

moest het ooit mogelijk zijn om langs te komen en de bmw en polo in een later stadium te zien, zou dat een onvergeetelijke ervaring zijn.

groeten Dennis

Ok dudes, the front plate of the radio is almost 80% finished. The other 20% will follow shortly.

You can see that I've worked in the Ipod holder with a polyester plate, so that it tru.

Working in wasn't that difficult, first of all I tightened it with one big wooden woodscrew.

Then I mounted it in the car, and turned the way I wanted it to stand. After I stood the way I wanted, I tightened it with another woodscrew.

After that I made a fiberglass porridge and tightened it all with the polyester. It's superstrong this way.

After that I filled it out with filler.

About the inside I'm very pleased too. Around the socket (where the Ipod is plugged in) it looks splendid.

That's amazing!

How did you get all those little intricate areas so smooth?

I see you're tackling the dreaded E46 Double DIN install.

I've also got an E46 (M3) and I went through it earlier this year.

Not for the faint of heart that's for sure, but you're taking it to a whole new level with your fab skills.

Amazing work!

Can't wait to see more.

Sometimes you have to go to the limit to make something happen.

Very nice work!

I may have to borrow your technique and build myself an ipod holder, if that's okay?

Also, are you going to cut out an aluminum trim piece to go around the Alpine?

I haven’t got a problem with that at all dude.

GO 4 IT

other eyes help as well when trying to find errors...as i'm sure you know. but that is crazy the way you did the ipod holder and how nice it's turned out so far. i looked at one pic like 'did he really just cover that entire thing in fiberglass??' haha but awesome work as always

That’s a right dude! I don’t mind that it’s being said (even if it’s a 100 times) when something looks wrong.

That’s the only way I can do it better.

there are no words to describe how brilliant this build is..

thank you for sharing this with us!

You’re very welcome dude

That's amazing!

Grinding, grinding and…grinding…
