wat size sub have you got there? I'm thinking of getting a 10" but i don't like the idea of bein seen of that makes sense? want it hidden!

The sub is 12" JBL Anniversary Edition, it shoudln't take too much room in the boot, though il doubtil get my skateboard in there lol.

With the sub it isn't that noticable as you face it through the ski hatch so all you see when you open your boot is the back of the enclosure.

I got the seat covers from the US, they are exact fit ones and I highly reccomend them, it came to around $100 for them the place you can order them from is http://www.iggeeseatcovers.com/ just email them and ask about them.

There are like 5-10 different colour options 2, and 2 tone which I got.

I am currently in the process of spraying my Tech 1 Spoiler, I also have black se side skirtsto wack on,and a rieger style front lip. Il have pics soon.

Thanks for your comments guys,

I never thought I might consider covers, but in the pics your's look to be a very good fit. Not so sure about the colour combi, but its your car and for mine I'd probably opt for charcoal and grey or black and charcoal. I had a little trawl around the site and it seems as though they might be the answer until I can run to a custom-made interior.

Were your front seats comfort or sports? My fronts are 'comfort' and the rear seats have the pull-down centre arm rest plus head rests - how does this compare with yours? With the dollar still in free-fall against sterling it looks an interesting proposition.

I spent a couple of summers working in Jersey many moons ago. I've always loved the place, but the very low speed limits and limited miles of roads would leave me a bit frustrated after a while. In those days Janvrins Farm was the place to do dinner on Sunday nights. Is it still going?

I would definatly reccomednd the covers as they are tailor made to fit.

I went with the colour combi because my interior is a mix of g|rey and black. Seats were grey comfort seats+grey door cards, dash etc black.

Looks really impressive to someone who gets in fora lift, they think straight away they are real seats. Unitl I tell them.

Yeah Jersey is a nice place to live, the speed limits don't stop anyone my friend :). After a while you know the speed gun hotspots ;).

As for road to drive, there is plenty out there you just need to know the island, the rally that is held here every year does a great job to show the islands roads potential.

Night time is the time to drive in Jersey to be honest, or a nice summers day.

I am not sure about Janvrin Farm as I haven't been their myself, but will ask my Father about it next time I see him.

Its actually suprising the amount of people I meet who lived in Jersey once, for such a small island.

Anyway the seat covers are well worth it, I can get some more pictures of mine if you like.

Many thanks for that, I'll drop them a line and see what they come up with. I fully understand your reasoning about the combi - they're a bit 'grey' inside :)

Everyone I seem to talk to has either lived on the island or spent a lot of time there - it's a great place and was even greater when I could do a deal with the old Jersey European enabling me to scuttle between there and Exeter at a relatively 'low cost. Fat chance nowadays :(

Cheers anyway, I contact Iggee Fashion and if it works out, post some pics here.

Im not sure about the wheels, they are 14 or 15's, they may be BMW but I don't know.
