You should have a thin layer of material behind the speaker cover so you cant see the speaker through the grill :P

HU looks great, you wont be going back to oem now :D

The drivers side has that material, passenger doesn't. :mad: Must have got lost at some point.

Headunit looks good, and sounds great well chuffed. 8)

4 speed, why should it have 3 then?

Welsh dragon is to cover up hole in parcel shelf. :D

Well 4 speed is better. :D

The temp control seems to gets a little stuck at the upright position though, when you are turning the control.

I'm ashamed of the central locking as it's aftermarket, but I've got oem parts at the ready if it breaks. Still its a nice luxury having the remote as well. :D

Nothing on the display but it illuminates and still works. Happened after reconnected battery. Also the aerial cable snapped, so I'll have to open it up and put a new one. Sub is making strange noises sometimes.

To be honest I cant wait till I get the cabby so I can quality audio in it. I'm just trying to tolerate the mooredoor now.

Ollie where did you get the pre-facelift number plate backing and how much did you pay to give me an idea? Can these be bought new from the dealer?

Thanks Dezzy. :D

I reckon I'm just going to (when funds allow) go for the -40mm look on mint bottletops with a jimmy hill in satin black.

Pondered with BBS for ages, but want too be different and stick with a sort of povo spec look.

I think it's got all it needs, sports seat, fog's etc... Might get a rear blind though at soem point.

Just want a classic look. :D I think 40mm is as low as I want it as well.

I would say it's has to be BBS but it's your car.
Jimmy Hill ftw

I lower mine by 35mm on H&R and it's not low enough IMO. I have bout 15mm lower top hats so that should sort it.

Especially with my new Hartge's 8)

Rav, seen it but doesn't look quite right on a facelift imo.

Rob, yes that is exactly what I want, mintyness like that and with chrome obviously. :D

Dez, I don't want it too be too low, just more subtle than 4x4. :P Whatever you do to your car just makes it better and better. :drool:

Also how do you remove the bonnet badge without damaging the paint?

looks very clean under there, nice engine bay :D
as for getting the badge off, if you lift the bonnet up, you should see the two pins of the badge on the other side, just push them out and the badge should pop off
