Vectra CarPC Project

Finally got round to installing PC into car, what do you guys think?
Its only a rough install yet! waiting on a bracket so i can move the pc into the driver side pocket in boot.
The stereo will eventually go in glove box when the steering wheel harness arrives and be replaced by dvdrw and some usb ports.

nip into halford and pick up a can of rover gunmetal grey more or less a perfect match.
(dont bother with primer or lacquer, couple coats of paint does the trick)
