jon_273 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Seeing as I have not updated this since I bought the car I thought I would take a few new pics. I've made a few subtle changes.The SE wheels are now my only wheels as the SE sold with the sport wheels on.Red Gti seatbelts fitted after Ed38 last year (no interior pics as of yet).I also bought a rear spoiler at ED38 but I can't decide whether or not to put it on, opinions would be welcome!The orange filter inside the Cambridge lights has gone, and I've fitted Osram Diadem bulbs.Also fitted some Eibach springs. In this pic you can see how the back sits just resting on the bump stops with no springs in:I've removed the bump strip on one side, and even using loads of autoglym tar remover and the megs steps 1 and 2, you can still see the mark slightly. The other side can wait until warmer weather!Yesterday I gave it a winter polish and wax and took some night time photos:Enjoy!

heartagram Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Don't see them very often in that colour. Although I say that, I see one every day but other than that one you don't see them much Dunno why, gorgeous colour. I thought more people would have bought them in it!

jon_273 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks for all the replies guys! I'm really pleased with how it looks at the moment.Lovely colour. Really like the wheels too. Good job you forgot to swap them over when you sold the Cambridge though, eh? They were what drew me to the Cambridge in the first place, so I wasn't planning to let them go My mam's had the postman asking what had happened and if I was getting it repainted. How could it happen by accident?! Most people probably don't understand the concept that you did it on purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I've been meaning to sort out the sounds for a while now, and have been looking for a decent small amplifier to fit under a seat. Found this Genesis SM60 and it fits the bill perfectly! I was surprised how easy it is to remove the front seats, providing you have all the tools at hand!Due to the wiring of the standard speakers, I've got the Genesis powering the door speakers directly, and have left the tweeters running off the headunit amplifier. IMO wiring the speakers up 'active' gives a lot better quality when using an aftermarket headunit. Also the fader control can then be used to adjust the volume of the tweeters to the door speakers.All the wiring is now hidden and the seat still slides forward and backwards without catching the amplifier A couple more pics for good measureLet me know what you think.
