Hi all.

Did a bit of work on this over the last few nights....







Bought gloss black paint to finish it off, but think I will change it for Matt as it won't show as much of the blemishes....

Did you check height clearances for the speakers? because that looks to me like it wont fit?

Its in the garage all week, I'm trying to think how often I leave the mini out of sight in a bad area, but really can't so I'm not too worried.
Will get pics up, dont you worry!

Yep, I had a trial fit after I had attached them to the base. They didn't fit at first, but with a little bit of persuasion (Hacked th front of the base off - see bottom pic above) I can get them to fit no probs

Umm you're mounting the HU on the rear parcel shelf?! Or have I missed something?! That would drive me mad!!!!!! Do you have really long arms?

No I don't have long arms, I couldn't reach it under the passenger's side dash rail before without having to take the harnesses off, so isn't going to make a difference. It was out of ams length reach then and will be now! Plus it means I won't be able to fiddle with it whilst driving so perhaps could be safer! lol

Haha....
Priority was taking the head off this weekend, and been working till silly o'clock this week (12 hrs today - which I know is normal for you but not me! lol)

It will get done, prob when the car goes in to the garage for the back end after that muppet punto driver decided to 'bum'p me.
