That's what the guy quoted me on the phone today. I asked for wheel caps for a Polo GTI and gave him my VIN, so we'll see what they get me!

EDIT: Total of $13.25

. That's from Camberwell VW, sounds like some of the other dealers are taking advantage!

Got a set of roof racks and a bike carrier today, went with the Rhino Racks and a Thule 530 carrier. Holds the bike up very solidly and has key locks. Looks pretty funny with a bike on top of the Pog, as the bike is almost as tall as the Pog again

Did benchtop test of car pc - everything works sweet as. Once I find an amp I can do the install.

- Intel D945GCLF2 - Intel Atom Processor 330
- Aywun MW-107 Mini-ITX Slimline Narrow Case
- Lilliput EBY701 VGA Touchscreen W/Back-up Camera Switch
- M2 PSU 150W
- Globalsat BU-353 GPS Receiver

I integrated the screen into a double din adapter i got off ebay - this just slides into the dash in place of the existing radio. I angled the screen down a bit and set it back as i noticed that the current radio gets sun directly on it - makes things a little hard to see sometimes.

I designed a skin to run on roadrunner front end - screen shot of main page with a ipod looking interface on drivers side for music control and a custom build of destinator as gps software

the "box" - it really is quite small 185mm x 230mm x 70mm - about as small as you can build for a 170x170mm motherboard, power supply and hard drive. This will sit under the dash on the passenger side between the heater unit and the glovebox. It is quite tidy inside and will have no probles with cooling as it is quite open

this is the second one of these i have done as i had one in my previous car - E30 BMW
