The standard earth has to put up with your new amps plus what it was originally designed for. Giving it a second earth eases off the strain on the standard earth :cheesy: Should help your dimming issue :)

Yeh but the earth cable going from the battery to the cars chassis is only designed to take the power from the standard car equiptment and isn't adiquite for the amps which is why it's dimming :)

Are you planning on getting one of these in there?

Don't think there's much else you can do inside there once the doorcards are on.

That is unless you manage to find a set of seats like mine...

Easily. My leather wheel came from a coupe. Mine is slightly smaller though, so may be worth getting a wheel & airbag together.

You get D8 and D9 Coupe's as well; the exterior differences are much more subtle than they are on the saloon/estate though. A pre-1999 Coupe will be a D8.

The D8 Coupe wheel should fit on to a D8 saloon/estate, and vice versa, just as long as the horn trigger is on the same place on your car as it is on the donor (i.e. your horn is on the stalk, so must the horn be on the donor)
