How much were the upgraded speakers you got? Are they a lot better than standard? Ran off an amp or the HU? I'm looking at upgrading mine.

Hi, I have used these speaker in pretty much every car I've had, so I find them really really good, create a great quality sound. I must warn you, that fitting them to the front is a bit of a pain due to the plastic surround that is installed by pug from factory, but once you chop this out so they fit and also use a mount of 20mm then they fit lovely and are a pleasure to my ears. The back fits in straight away like a glove.

Currently running direct from the HU but they are even better with an amp which is my plan for next few weeks.

I bought mine from their shop on eBay stores.ebay.co.uk/The-...d=70079008 where it's cheaper than their website, www.theloudest.com

I've also had both varieties of their 6x9's which I cannot recommend enough, they're amazing!!
Hope this helps, let me know if you want any more info.

Small update: Have bought and had sprayed a badgeless front grill, which looks smart, but now need to get the gap in the bonnet filled and coloured!! CC'd the bump strips (apart from the front, which I need to get done) have a race tube to be fitted but that can wait until the snow has gone as I dont fancy laying on the floor in the cold and wet! Will get pics up soon!

Havent updated this in a while,so got a couple of pics here,

Number plates have returned to standard, after a £60 fine Sad I'm now very clear on the laws surrounding the plates, policeman was a decent chap as well and very interested about the car asking 101 questions.
 


 


Got my brother to knock these up with his vinyl cutter.
 


 



Also I have fitted a Scorpion cat back exhaust system (full stainless) can see it in the pic in garage, carbon mirror caps from a 180, which you can see in one of the pics, an SP chrome bonnet vent and replaced the speedo cluster for a black and chrome one which looks much better then the white one I had before. I will get some more pics ASAP.

Plans/things to do:

- Redo roof lining in black and also the pillars
- Colour code the front bumper (waiting for delivery)
- Change dials to blue and de-tango A/C and MFD
- Custom trim door cards (issues with pay pal holding this up)
- Thinking of cat cams and re-map... suggestions on this one?
- Roof in gloss black, opinions?

Thats all for now. Comments and opinions appreciated.

It's very good, not too hard not to soft, nice and responsive through the corners, I like it.

Yeah the pro-kit. I bought them from demon-tweeks for about £80 but that seems to have gone up now to about £100. I'd double check but dont have the car anymore or any of the paperwork ie receipts and stuff like that.

Heres the new ride.
