All - any ice experts out there? I am switching my speakers but want to keep the 6.5 fronts and rear to maintain factory fitments and look. I like base but cannot be bothered with the sub and amp in my boot anymore. Can i achieve a decent level of base with 6.5's? any advice on which speakers to buy...

eventually got it!! it was stuck down real strong, probably what you suggested dave!!

strange then. I remember taking my last saloon one off no probs. this seems different. ive pushed the white clip things into the parcel frame, so they are loose. i dont understand why it wont come away! oh well some brute force is about to be applied!!

Guys, as above, Ive got it loose at the back seats edge and sides, also popped the 3 or 4 plastic clips from under the rear windrcreen area but it seems stuck in right along the rear window..... have i missed something???

ubu lookin sweet. im no sure about the white inside the arch as it brings out the arch gap against the black tyre . . .anyway, spend more time gettin that cresta sorted!

John, you say don't laugh when you were goin to set up a work in progress thread because of how good mine and deeks cars look etc bla bla bla, but this is a REAL wip with REAL restoration etc. Awsome work.

there are various straight through sections for sale on ebay. see if it has the one for you. but usually the only sections you can buy separate is the cat section. you should be able to buy a cat back system quite cheap. that's what i would do.

there are two boxes. one bolts to the ceiling of the dash above the glove box, the other one bolts to the left inner wing to the left of the glove box. thanks for your reply mate, but its not them two boxes im on about, those have been put back no problem, its the relay cage at the drivers side, lo...

Love the headlamp protectors, I'm looking for a set myself.

cheers mate. yea to be honest my lights don't look great without protectors as the indicators have film over them and the protectors kinda tidys it up. i need proper tinted indicators.

nice updtes, i like the genuine gator and battery cover.

just adding an image from the Retroshite meet on Sunday which someone took. Must be some fancy camera as it looks like 7 billion megapixel or something!
