Looking good fella :D
Did you re-cover the headlining & paint the dome light ? Looks a great job :D
hey
yeah we took out the headlining and cover it in alcantra black. and you are right i did respray all off the bits was bit off a pain to do it's quite sureprising how many bits there is to the roof lol i had to do it all the seat belt holdings as well lol . will the roof linning was off i soundeadend the roof it made a vast inprovement to the system.
how did you do the lining bit around the the sunroof slide,ive done mine but cant work out the best way to do it
lol we just sprayed it mate using black spray, was going to try and cover it with alcantra but it was way to hard, so a couple off coats off black paint does the job a treat. Did u have trouble getting the sunroof cover( the bit that slides back) out. i found it a right pain to do.
forgot to say the alcantra i got from from a company in bristol called ice design these are the guys who helped with the roof lining. i know u can get it from www.caraudiodirect.co.uk .

hey
the fabric was about the same price it is quite costly becuase we used about 2.5 metres to do the whole roof. The paint is a normal satin black car paint u have to use a platic primer first so the paint can stike to the plastic, make sure u get a good key on it as well ruff it up using a scoring pad.

Hey ive have added 3 way speakers into my car and must admite they are very good, But they did cost me a lot £200 the speakers where heartz energy 3 ways. i have got some pictures on here, take a look. I had to build them into the apillars tho to get the best out off them, I did have diamond audio 2 ways fitted in my car but the tweeters where to bright for the ears lol. But i would say sound deaden the doors to get the best out off your speakers.

hey i just thought i put some more picture off my sound system, Again any other ideas i can do to it. would be helpfull. I did blend in the headunit surround after the comments made from my last pics i put on here . I have also installed a gas strut in to the boot lid which isn't in the pics . Enjoy B)
looks good mate..

Very nice, liking the mids & tweeters in the A Pillar, nicely done. I thought about doing something similar that but too
much on show for prying eyes.
Gotta agree with Gord & Stav () but I understand what you mean about shows/displays etc.
There was a guy in a Mitsubishi estate at a meet recently who had a 40" plus plasma/LCD screen in the boot install.
Rearwards facing speakers the lot! People were sitting down on the grass behind it to watch a film. I really couldn't
see the point & a complete waste of time & money IMO. Putting all that into a car for someone you don't knoww to sit
and gawp at ??I understand for shows etc but think the money could help the system elsewhere or keep it in my pocket.
The I.C.E. in my car is in the car strictly for me, if anyone else derives pleasure from it then so be it, but in all
honesty their pleasure is secondary to my own.
Hello mate
thanks for the comments. Tbh the mids and tweters on the apillars you dont really see do to the windows being tinted and they do sound very good, I agree with you guys yes it was a waste off money for the tvs in the boot but it was just a project to show to people what we can do and i didn't cost a lot got the tvs very cheap. The i.c.e install is for me anyhow just needed the car to be a bit diffetent at the shows lol. Dj wozza can you give me the link to how you smoothed the surround around the unit.
cheers

I bought a Digi box off Ebay and fitted it in mine.
The only problem i found was gettin a signal. Its great when your parked in a car park or something (like asda while the missus gets the shopping). But not so good when your on the move.
Stav
hey mate
thanks for the reply, yeh i thought that would be the problem with them, but i might still get one anyway lol, maby a booster might work to get a better signal worth a try i guess.
