Few bits done, so a few new pics [56k no no]

[Hotshot]

New camera, new bits on the car, some are on for a while some aren't Still getting used to the subtle nuances of being able to hold the camera still in -5 degrees but hey sue me! Strangely enough its a Sony DSC-W15 and im told is a mint camera, i just suck with it

New number plates are on, clear side repeaters, car is about as settled as it will be on 60mm, took limo tints off the front and put light smokes on, made a stealth shelf, fitted the speakers and mounted the amp underneath as well as putting the new headunit in. First attempt at doing anything vaguely electrical/crafty with the car and whilst i wasn't after earsplitting noise or up for losing bootspace with mahoosive subs and amps im quietly pleased with the results. Enjoy Merry Xmas and New Years all. and yes the cars filthy

blurryyyyyyyyyyyyy

tints look far bta now. i wanna do it to mine

 

[Hotshot]

thoroughly recommend it , cost me £40 which i claimed back from the dealership which sold me the car in an illegal road condition

 

[thedoc]

i thought the 1st 5 pics were from the "post your best fuzzy pictures" thread lol!!
tidy bus, well done.

 

[Hotshot]

this isnt that thread?

Car looks good but Im not convinced about that shelf. The shelf itself is fine but mounting an amp upside down is asking for trouble as it wont cool properly and may cook the internals. Are you gonna tidy up the wiring as well?

 

[Rob669]

Nice pics. Where'd you get those number plates, I like them?

number plates were from fancyplates.com , should have all the CS logos now those ones are done.

EvilJohn , the cables are about as tidy as i can get them without rummaging around more in the boot. The amp itself is a dual channel 200W throw away Sony one which will do for now, not overly fussed about cooling especially in this weather

 

[victim_of_society_15]

i prefered the tints before...did u change them for legal reasons?

 

[Hotshot]

yup, no need to add attention to the vehicle. Frankly visibility is often a problem in the winter with limo's on the front and who needs the extra headache. More subtle this way

tints are a lot better.

something i'm looking at in the future...after coilovers.

 

[Hotshot]

coilovers........jealous but then im *trying* to save for a new place sometime in 2006 :|

 

[Djw John]

Would it not be better to spend 10 mins hiding teh wires better so it looks neater but more importantly nothing catches on it?

 

[Hotshot]

the wires are tied up together with cable ties, then down through side vents. i cant really look at making em any better than they are without a staple gun which i dont have

 

[Tigger]

Love that shelf although I thought it wasn't a great idea having shelf speakers and subs going

Not a fan of tints at all - back is too dark (VAN style)

Your car so its what you like

 

[fizzy_drink]

Lookin' good!

What's with the excess cable?

Here's how I had it: http://photobucket.com/albums/y201/omarsadek/Shelf/?action=view&current=ClioShlf1.jpg

It was all cable-tied to the screws holding the amp/speakers... worked a treat.

Amp won't overheat - it's not that powerful. I ran it like that , and it was spot-on.
