i already spent £80 on my leather seat cover though. And i will probably get the buckets in the next couple months anyway. I want em in before PVS. So just for the sake of speeding up the colour change it really not worth it. Would rather spend the £20 on paint etc etc for things that acctually need doin if ya know wat i mean. Have seen em on ebay though. I aint really a fan of seat covers tbh....but my leather covers look 1000 times better than grey seats with red and blue swirls.

Nice wheel.

You really need a stealth shelf displaying a subwoofer so blatently like that in my area...it wouldn't last an hour.

Nice, I've ruined my subwoofer by having it on full power. Need a new one, a better one :P

I've gone through so many pairs of speakers, ruined them and then upgraded, it costs me so much but eventually I find ones I can't ruin lol

2nd sub, need a new 6x9 i think...might just be bit of distortion that was occuring low volume cos it keeps dissapering then reappering every now and then. everything else is quite high power components that are mildly underpowered so cant break at full power...they just work better than at low volume cos control the compressions better lol

got potential, but i think ill stick with mine for the mean time. That one all batterered! would rather save a few more weeks/months and pay for a full body repair and respray.a guy up my road reckons he will do the entire job for £1300 and if i do the sanding prep he will do it cheaper. but i think that can wait. Still got fair bit to do before that. i want paint to be the 2nd from last main thing to do. before that the interior should be sorted, then suspension and shock absorbers etc then paintwork then engine swap then things like exhaust, induction kit etc.
