I have a boken clip, on the stereo cover holding position, making the holding position a non holiding position due to the hanging position of the stereo cover when in position of the afore metioned proper holding position therefore the now wrong position is no way near the correct holding position that it should be in |

Both clips were off when I got the car. But I never knew what the felt pad was for or what was missing.
Have a multi cigarette lighter plug thing stuck on with double sided tape at the moment.
But the clip thing is so cool I,ll have to look in to making up some clips.
Starting to play with carbon fiber and epoxy? carbon clips project. LOL |

very hard to replicate the clips in carbon fibre, you will find they end up quite brittle at the hinge end. Better off getting a replacement from a scrappy, the original clips are ABS or whatever which has a higher limit of elasticity. |

Got a naff Kenwood stereo with nice blue lights all over it. Works very well and plays MP3 CD,s that I make up. (4 to 5 music CD,s on one disk). But would rather keep the thing coverd.
It has an adapter that works with the standard Renault radio control behind the wheel.
More buttons on it than you can shake a stick at. Always hit the wrong one so best keep it coverd.
Just started to play with carbon.
I have a bike made out of the stuff. (Made in Taiwan for sure). |

There is tho the risk that someone looking in may think, hmm wonder what he's hiding behind that cover. a nice stereo I bet...and he breaks in to find no face off, so a waste of his time, but you have a broken window etc.
better to leave it off and display the faceless stereo! |

i agree, arouses suspicion!
i had a sony stereo whos face didnt come off, one of those flash ones with the full front display (bought of a mate cheap) i used the front of an old ford stereo i had to cover it with, worked a treat for 2 years.  |
