gimme those wheels
love the look of those, where the hell do you fine all of these wheels?
eBay and the Fat Fingers app lol and knowing how to deal haha
speakers and tweeters have been installed:
i have done the other side but cba to picture it,
Tweeters:
Old and New - Split Up
New One repaired and fixed in: Due to not having the right plug I could have cut both cables and soldered, or used a connecting block which is what I've done as they can now always be replaced/removed easier:
Glued into Place:
Fitted:
The finishing Touch - JBL Badge for the door Speaker
now its all in and done, the sound difference is noticeable, the, base isnt as dominent on normal settings, and the treble is much clearer and sharper, so on normal day to day listening its a very nice balance, at some point I might install the amp thats currently on the floor, but I really dont have any inclanation to do so atm.

well theres not be too much to report as of late:
Changed back to 4300k h7r HID's with slim ballasts
Sprayed the central fascia gloss black:
But the gloss black covers on
Bought myself some axle stands at last
I pick the car up from Shark later on today where it has had the following:
- Sachs Uprated clutch kit
- New Brake discs and pads alround
- 100k Service
- New Map sensor
- Replacement Heated washer jet
- FMIC has been refitted and pipes tightened and clips changed (had continual problems as of late with the pipes blowing, more than likely down to the MAP sensors being faulty
I will now be rebooking the full custom map for end of May/Start of June as my Birthday prezzie to me and pre Inter's:
Next up however will be new shocks/coilovers with new top mounts so I will start saving for those as I want the Eibach's ideally

Roughly 30mm on the front and 25mm on the rear, the ride is very good and well worth it

Are you running on oem dampers or uprated? If you have or are running on oem ones, how would you comment on the ride quality?
one of my front springs has snapped half a coil off the bottom so I'm looking at investing in a set of eibachs. looks like it sits nice at the front and a bit higher at the rear but much better than stock.

atm standard well run shocks
and they are very comfy, the eibachs have better dampening than say APEX which frankly are a bit **** loli will be changing over to coilovers as of when my expenses get paid and because of the experience ive had with these im going to look at getting the Eibach coilovers as these have been brilliant

it has been a massive improvement and has really changed the way of the car drives
Yep bit sudden but I've been looking for the car I bought for nearly a year now.
I've gone with the Volvo c30 t5 se lux, new project more power looking forward to it now

Good luck with the new car
Car will be on the forums certainly ioc as that's where I sold it from, should be back on here though as they trolled the tread to see what's what
