just thought i'd say, but if your running of your standard head unit then you shouldn't run your rear speakers in parallel, run them individually it'l be better,

That does look pritty sweet actually, but i work as a plumber so i need my boot for tools and parts wen i do private jobs.. And i duno cus i recon i would look abit out of place my cars not really modified enough is it.. would like to go have a look about but.. and everything you said sounds good, but i cant lower my car in my town.. it is UNREAL how many humps there are its literally every single street its pathetic!! And i dont fancy going everywere 15mph

And i have tryed to wire speakers in but for the life of me i cant work out why its pure base.. i went down local shop near me tht does car speakers and he fiddeled about with it and didnt sound abot better, but now they just linked in to my door speaks it does go pritty good..And i like the depo lights once have abit of money there on the cards!!

And that was my intentions, but wen came to locating the speaker wire on driver side of car cudnt find it for the life of me :/

Right you mean you 6x9"s is pure base? thats because you only have one amp ..

see because your settings are for your sub when you connect anything thats not a sub to it it trys to act like one ( so base levels are high when they cant take it) if you get a seprate amp for yor 6x9's and wire it up not onyl will the 6x9's sound better you can run one left and one right off it which will save you needing to change them so much look on gumtree (my car is made up of bargins ) you could get a wee 2nd hand amp for buttons its just the wiring up is the boring part!

also invest in a switch for your control wire that runs to your sub nothing worse than listening to radio 1 and there all talking with base pumping and its not needed wee switch up in dash means 1. you can turn off 2. gives you an exucse to use a plane kill switch ( which i think look sweet :L ) (thats my storey)

Soooo i decided to spray my center console and dash surrounding, got everything i needed wet and dry paper, primer and spray paint, done everything right,

rubbed down, primed waited to dry and primed 2nd time round, dryed then started to spray! and god wht a disaster have a look!!

The primer went on a treat no problems, but the red spray paint, just went patchy in places and started to streak !!!


i rang my mate who has done spraying b4, and asked him wht the hell is happing and why!! i then round out its cus you need to clean the plastic with pannel wipe tht basically takes away any polish thats ever been on them and cleans it and makes it basically like new, then u rub down prime and paint!

So am now currently driving round with my inside like this,,.



Prittty anoying so now gotta go scrappy 2mora and get a new center console and dash surround! then start all over again and do it right!!

PLEASE people learn from my mistakes lol i no i have... will have pics of new finished result in couple days!

[PRICER]

nahh you should be able to use yours again, just make sure you really sand it and what primer are you using? is it plastic primer? as this eats it way into the plastic trim and makes a better 'primer' for plastic obviously then give the primer a light wet and dry, then spray your top coat but you have to do thin coats otherwise it will run!! but your trim should be salvageable, at the end of the day its only paint, its not like its liquid metal

[witt6116]

yeh u might be right actually. and yeh it was a plastic primer, al give it another go 2mora i reckon see how we get on!!

[M4RSH4LL]

carbon vibre vinyl wrap all u need

[witt6116]

Well after my second attempt and finding out whats really wrong..... i didnt use "pannel wipes" that get rid of any grease or polish thts on the plastic, apparently a rub down with water just doesnt hack it!

Got new paint, lacquar and primer!

And now the finally finish in place!

and

and parcel shelf

And stuck this is just for a laugh!



Not to bad.. but works slow at the min so might not be doing anything on it for a while we will see!! Comments welcome

[nath2905]

the dash looks well now
and the sticker

[witt6116]

Its actually a proper sign to go above a door, i pinched it from a gym we were working on at work, b4 it was open , and its stuck on with the suction pads u get with the car sun guard things, thought it would be a laugh and stand out abit!

But BAD NEWS!!!!

CLUTCH has gone!! but managed to get someone to replace it for a good price of £170 not bad since i got a previous quote for £250
