Cheers, i'll try the sub later on today. gonna leave the bump strips just now lol. I've recently fitted a piper cross induction kit to mine's and a pioneer head unit. Bought an exhaust too but looks like i'll have to cut the original one off!! When are you getting your coilovers fitted, lookin forward to seein the pics.

doing the coileys myself.. cant be that hard.. i helped my mates do theres so i guess i know what im doing.. (mk1 caddy, mk1 golf, seat leon)

dont worry about the strips tho man.. i think i made it sound harder than it is.. you shouldnt have any problems.. just make sure you get some sticky stuff remover thats made for cars so it doesnt strip the paint!

Once its lowered, which wheels will you be going for ? im curious.

Are you going for euro style ? deep dish and nice and wide. Personally i would go for euro style look as it will look amazing on the Fox.

Im going euro style on mine.

You'll need to buy a 25mm blanking grommet. You just lift up the bolt cover on the wiper arm, unscrew that bolt, then pull off the wiper, then pull off the cover on the inside of the boot door, disconnect the electrical wire and the water pipe, then slacken off the 3 bolts holding the wiper motor on, just pull the motor towards you and you will be left with a rubber seal in the hole, take that out and replace with your blanking grommet, job done, all u need to do now is stick the electrical wire and the water pipe down with tape so there is no rattling then pop your cover back on.

I've just fitted a piper cross induction kit, Pioneer head unit and fli active 12" subwoofer. Got some 6x9's and a savage backbox to fit just now. Plannin on lowering it, tinting windows, interior retrim, full body kit and respray, should be done by the end of the year.

Dunno if i'll go euro style, i'm lookin at the kit on RDX Race design.

Oh right ok, ive seen that, i personally think its terrible, dosn't look nice at all, spoils the look of the fox. Should keep the body work standard and smooth it all out, slam it and stick 15" deep dishes on it. That would look the bomb.

Thats just my opinion thoe, but i recommend you go euro as that body kit is nasty. :lol:
