    Fitting fog lights

    Thanks for the info, I did get sorted. Just booked around the engine bay and found exactly what you described. Ran the wiring across the back of the dash to the switch. Not as bad a job as I thought it would be, the biggest headache was getting the front bumper off

    Speaker upgrade

    Speaker upgrade

    6.5" Jbl co-axials in the front and co-axial 6x9s in the back. The back speakers are a very easy swap, old ones out and new ones drop straight in and screw into the original holes. I ran a strip of dynamat round the speaker holes to prevent any vibration. Same wiring connector is used in the...

    Hi All, I know this has been covered before but I started into my speaker upgrade this evening so I thought I'd document it as I went. I couldn't source speaker adaptor pods anywhere in the UK so I picked these up on the US site. See details below...
