Pacer Peter gave me tweeter mounts with aftermarket fuckung infinity tweeters.
I was going to have the really nice OEM ones but he gave them to Simon and said the aftermarket ones should be fine.

The Alpine tweeters circumference was too big to fit in original mounts without cutting so they were mounted as so. Can someone post photographs what is supposed to look like ????

You should have used the Infinity ones, they looked better than what you have now . These look like a rancid boil on an 4rse, not that there is anything wrong with that :)

Infinity speakers are good. They have a better sound to my ear than alpine.

Speedo no longer working AGAIN
Sunroof which is now fixed and this prob was there before but I forgot all about it
Leaking bloody fuel
Idling issue for first 4 minutes
Fuel gauge needs tightening
Coolant gauge was fine when Initially not any more though needs tightening

I'm sure you're a lovely chap Pony, but you're also very very strange. I'm curious, how old are you and what do you do for work?
