Er... no not really. Why not just custom-fab some old-skool looking grilles to go over them?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by classic speakers, do you mean the actual speakers or the old style wedge shaped housings that used to sit on the parcel shelf. If you mean the former then, it's probably a waste of time, you'd be better finding somewhere cunning to hide some modern ones. If you're referring to the housings then get on ebay, grab a pair and swap the speakers for some modern units. You'll find this will probably be a better way to do it and would probably look more at home in the mini.

You mean like these? Plain black speakers without all the fancy colours and plastic bits. These are about as plain and in-keeping with the interior as you'll get, noone really does old looking speakers because they don't work as well as modern ones and speakers aren't that hard to hide using various panels and grills and stuff.
