James2409 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 right so i went to v fest and made a schoolboy error of leaving my headunit facia still in and some gypsy scum smashed through the passenger window and stole it someone violated her so it calls for a new window which has been put on order and also a new headunit! calls for an upgrade i shall upload some pics of the damage caused..James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Shame about the head unit mate. I like the boot build but i was surprised to see coaxials in the floor. How do they sound sat there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2409 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 cheers man, they sound decent, as the lupos dont have rear speakers they just add a bit more atmosphere if that makes sense haha...it wasnt my original plan but the guy who i bought the sub and amp off just gave them me and im not really a fan of the 6x9's in the parcel shelf look! cheers for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Yeah man definitely. In my first car i thought the exact same that just having front speakers sounded a bit empty but as soon as a stuck in a couple of 6 by 9's the sound seemed to fill the cabin so much better. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2409 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 right so an update.. not that i'd like to have an update like this...been having a bit of **** luck with this little car, we got delivered a new washing machine yesterday and the delivery lorry reversed straight into my car :/ watched it go straight into it and there was nothing that i could do.. was like slow motion! needs new boot lid, new rear windscreen and probably a new rear bumper due to creasing :/ pics: im gutted to say the least, only been back on the road a week since it got the window smashed being broken into Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2409 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 forgot to mention.. the car is being assessed tomorrow by an engineer to evaluate whether the car will need writing off.. it shouldnt do but needs checking for creasing in the roof and rear quarter panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzerman Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Is the delivery people paying for the damageI think theyre just guna apologise, and give him a pat on the back. Of course theyre going to be paying, through insurance id imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
