Don't bother with the plenum they make no difference unless you are running big power where the original can become restrictive. I'd go with the brakes!

Thanx for the advice. Think thats what ill do. Gonna buy both eventually. May even get some suspension bushes and more odd bits before. No rush. Thanx glenn. Its a bit bland compared to some of the projects on here. to them all. Specially that mini cosworth.

Sorry pal. Didnt see post. From dunelm. I thought i picked faux suede up to be honest. It was next to a full roll. Its actually.. prima chenille fabric... it looks close to suede in person. Easy to mould too. Ł7.99 a metre. That plenty. Got loads left.

Managed to get the speakers installed today. cleaned all inside the door as much as i could and then added sound proofing. i haven't done all the door as its not really needed as im not having a ott system in. You would be suprised how good it sounds. The vibe sub still surprises me. I also placed the crossovers in the door pockets. There not massive so dont look out of place.

Thats it not clean lol. Bit biased but i do like the look of it. Theres a few bits what need doing. Front end needs a respray and the carbon fibre needs re glossing. I may get it done this year or get the big bits out of the way first. Im saving for some k sports at the min.
