Thanks mate, yeah i searched that before but the only 4 that came up were for manual mirrors. I just assumed that there was a proper name for them, and that's why i couldn't find any more.
Just checked, deffinately not A pillars.

Its the little bit of plastic trim that sits underneath it in the picture
The plastic trim that sits on the other side of the wing mirror. Where the adjustment lever for the mirrors would be if they were manual. I need a set, but it's hard trying to buy something you dont know the name of
What are they called!?!?
Thanks
Can't see that sounding very good tbh mate, but im no expert.
Get yourself over to talkaudio, make a thread in the general car audio section and im sure the ICE boffins will be able to help you out!
You can get 8" subs, but im not sure how it would sound
Are you planning on mounting the sub so it sits flush with the floor?
If so, remember that the size of the enclosure the sub is in will make a big difference in how it sounds.
Also as Lyons mentioned, amps will need cooling. A simple...
Do you still have the ariel? I don't use the radio either, so just cut the top off of it! Looks pretty damn cool :cool:
ATM it just looks like somebody has pinched it imo!
If i was you i'd definately make a fiberglass enclosure mate. Take all the side carpets ect out, cover the area in masking tape..
Apply resin + matting, build up a few layers and your done! Make the front a side panels out of MDF, make sure it's properly sealed and your onto a winner ;)...
I think i paid £45 for it from a guy off here, but uprgraded the front comps in the end, so no need for 6x9s now.
The misses won't let me bring it into the house so it's been lying on the back seats of my car for about 4 months lol!
You any good with fiberglass? You could make a small sub box to fit into the side of the boot, would hardly take up any room and look quite good imo.
If not, I have a stealth shelf you can have for £10 + postage? Gives you something solid to mount the speakers too..
As said, sport badges on non - sports are a big no no lol!
Not keen on rear lights tbh, might look a little bit better if the back bumper was colour coded
Where is your ariel?
Looks good mate, every car looks better without a wiper imo! You could put some rain repellent on the window, but hopefully the sun will stay out for the next few months anyway ;)
Didn't like the look of the grommet sticking out on mine, so smoothed it over.
Recently bought some alcantara to have a go at trimming some spare parts i've got lying around
What glue / adhesive would be best to use?
Sorry if it seems like a really stupid question, i really have no idea!
Cheers
I wouln't rely on it mate!
When shopping for insurance before i bought the 1.2, most companys that would insure me were quoteing £3000 - £3500 but like yours, there was a company that offered it alot cheaper (just over £500 cheaper)
Obviously i was chuffed as i now had more money to put...
Be carefull though, as the pocket from the door card fits into the main access hole in the door skin. If you are planning on sealing the door properly, i'd make a fiberglass mould of the pocket and attach it to the door skin then deaden over it.
Pull the front one off, simple as that!
Rear - Take plastic trim off from inside of boot, 1 torz screw and a few clips. Once the screw is undone give it a pull and it should come off easily. Then you'll see 3 bolts holding the handle on. Undo the 3 nuts then take the handle off.
Then remove...
Has it had cambelt changed ect?
Have't seen a spoiler wrapped in carbon so can't comment on how it will look..
I know subtle things like badges look very smart though
Lovely colour you have mate, seems like a bit of a bargain too!
Plans sound good, although if your going to paint the spoiler i would get it colour coded instead of black
2 in Bristol today, black 182 around 7ish at the downs
Silver 1*2 on the M32 at 9, turned off towards Filton.. Anybody off here?
& Sorry about the title, i pressed instead of 'delete'
