Pick up my GTI today !
« on: March 03, 2011, 08:27:23 am »
 :laugh:

Picking it up at 5:15 today, 55 plate, black 5 doors 17" Monza's and only 40K on the clock!

Going to get the alloys painted Gloss Black, get the windows tinted then put my theloudest.com amp and speakers in (yes on the parcel shelf which I will have to make myself as there is no where else to put them!) and replace the CD changer in the arm rest with an Ipod Dock!

and that is all for now, maybe some Xenons!

I know, I cant think of anywhere else that is strong enough to hold them though, and it's why I would like tints. I have them in my current car (05 Polo 1.4TDI, stage 1 revo remap) and you can hardly see them.

They are really heavy and the only thing I can think of is what I have previously done with making my own parcel shelf with a bit of MDF and cover it in carpet etc!

I can't not have them, the Amp is 3000w and I have two 6x9 2000w Speakers too, the sound that comes out of them is just unreal!

you could always uprate the speakers in the doors? just a thought  :smiley:

unless of course you flush mount to the shelf so they are sunken and hidden with audio carpet?

Yeah I could but I absoloutely love the amp and speakers :smiley:

That's a good idea actually, I will look into doing that and see how it will look! It's a pain having them there but I think that having 70% tints at the back covers it really well, well it did in my polo!

Just so excited to get the car, I've had to wait a few days longer than planned due to VW not having the coils in stock (SHOCK!).

I know, the plan is obviously to put my speakers in with an Ipod Dock in the arm rest then to get a new HU! Need to find the money though!

This day is going so slowly..... :sad1:
