it would all depend on your budget really as the options could be endless.
the size of the speakers are a fairly common size and changing them for a replacement will be an easy task, as most stereo shops could do it in no time and probably keep them in stock.

in my old Escos i had Focal Utopia's, quite pricey for what they are, but just like other speakers they fitted directly into the standard positions and holes with no cutting or nasty alterations to what was on show - it all looked factory.

your best bet will be to nip into a decent local car stereo specialist, they should be happy to help, after all your going in with a nice car and wanting to put money in there pockets

Cheers Kelv.

I'm quite prepared to spend a few hundred quid, just wondered what speakers others had used and how they performed, so I would have an idea what would give me the best results, with a standard look.

Cheers

Do you remember the size ?
Because I've tried to pass some Focal in 13.5cm (5.3 inches ??) in the front doorcards abd they were to big.

I've put a pair of slim separated Alpine kit, wich sounds quite good.
And a pair of elliptical Focal on the parcel.

For Craig, you can find in sounds shops plastics items to fit 13.5cm or 16.5cm speakers on the rear standard places

You get adapters so you can fit 6,5" (I think..) speakers in the doors. Wide range to choose from. Focal is one of the better ones. I would ask on a car audio forum maybe? It will look factory with the adapters.
