right ive been very busy messing about with the car, i wanted the top air ventsfree so i can stick in some gauges, as i dont want them on the pillar anymore as i mounted the tweeters in them.

i bought a double din facia but made the double din cage to mount the climate control and the radio cage,

Nice work fella. Have you seen the golf cubby hole insert so you can get? Makes some extra use of the space too:

Looks awesome. Love the a pillar gauges but best location when driving is where yours are. What about the cold mornings though????

theres still the windscreen, side vents and the footwell vents, so there pleanty of heat or AC,
