        Firstly, new tweeters going in and wanted to take the black on black away a touch so I've had these made.

                    • Slight update, wasn't happy with the repeater surrounds as the lense itself hid the surround and didn't make it stand out, so, I ordered some slightly tinted ones, changed them tonight and much better and well chuffed indeed...

                        Next update is, started installing the audio equipment, started with the rears, stripped both rear doors down and cleaned all the sticky crap off. Id already made the template for the new sound deadening membrane., sound deadened both doors and well, what a difference to the sound of the door even without the stereo on, deadens all the hollow tones of the door so I'm well impressed.

                        Fitted all the speakers including new tweeters in the door panels. Door cards sound deadened too and all put back together...

                        Wow, what a hell of a difference. Had JVC ones in there and they are absolutely poop in comparison. I have one major problem at the moment and that is ive only done the rears and yet the steering wheel is in the front , so, I need to do the fronts as soon as I can...
