Looked great at UD mate, Got to love gti interior, tip for you, Cut the stalks down on the rear headrests so they sit flush :) They seem to be too high!

New audio sounds good!, Trim pannles look spot on too, going for a similar design in mine this week.

Sorry i didnt talk much saturday i was tired and busy cleaning!

Didnt bump into you sunday :(

Lupo's in the audio guru's place.

So new tweeter pods and door builds woop woop.

Kinda stayed away from my loop at ultimate, spent like 5 mins washing it before it went in.

The life of luxery u have when working at the shows haha.

My audio guy is gonna be cuting up mint black lower door cards, so if anyone wants to swap for grey or slightly scuffed ones please pm me and we can work something out :)

Cars back from the audio dude, and the whole inside is covered in fiberglass mold fabric haha. the tweeter an door builds are comming along nicely tho.

Had some suede left over so I covered the side carpets of the boot in it to, so all kind of blends together now.

All new boot plastics have been ordered, so shold be shiney clean and scratch free.

Thinking of getting the parcel shelf retrimed with the interior in the matching leather or a suede

Hoping it should be in Premier car trim in May/june if everything goes to plan.

Not much of a update more of a rip everything out kinda day.

Started like this

IMG_1848.jpg

Ended up like this

utf-8BSU1HMDAwMjAtMjAxMDA2MTItMTYzN.jpg

and bye bye little Hertz Amp

utf-8BSU1HMDAwMTktMjAxMDA2MTItMTYzN.jpg

Tommorow it's heading off to my audio dude for final fitting of all the new gear.

Still cant decide if im gonna fit my new dls front end that meant for the new project car

So either gonna be focal K2p's or DLS Nobelium 6.2s.

New custom door cards should be hopefully be finished midweek.

New focal FP 2.150 amp to power the front end so should have plenty of clean power.

Or I might will raid my project cars genesis dual momo an mini block stash haha.

Then finally the hertz subwoofer will be retairing in favour of a DLS ultimate 10" one.

Not as "HARDCORE" as some other on here, but hopefuuly should sound ok.

Might pay a visit to the EMMA event at the end of July ahha

haha thanks.

You should have just asked for the keys, i'm pretty bad for just handing keys over ha. Tbh it wasnt anything special anyways :(

Hopefully all the audio will be finished next week, it's been way too long. Almost 3 months for door an tweetes builds. Well we have changed the design an setup more times than anything.

Please be finished for inters
