haha yeah many thanks to Llyr for that headlight tip ARUN!

 

[LMJ]

hey how did you get that Arun badge on your sub? I see them everywhere... on your signature. on your sub... where else is it? Is it to remind you what your name is? LOL

 

[abhardwaj1990]

haha, sorry.... yeah its true...Llyr told me how to take the headlight unit out everyone!!

Thats my little logo, I was bored when waiting for my sub to dry while I was making it,
I had a pencil, ruler, some MDF and a jigsaw, so I decided to make a little logo, just to show that the sub is made by me...and that will be going on anything else I make
In ten years time its going to be a recognised symbol around the world





I've also fitted red neons in my boot .....white dials arriving soon .....and maybe installing door speakers ....

 

[LMJ]

yeah awesome mate! once again! ... You need to door shelves/ speaker housing dont you, we dont have those! Must say - SEAT's can be a little stingey haha... I'm going to do that too!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

I'm going to make my own ....i want to make a small from out of fibreglass, which apperently you can do at home....

that last link is what i had in mind, something similar to that, just need to know where to get the fibre glass paste lol

To get past the speaker problem get a set of door pockets from a car being broken, i.e a sport, gti or a tdi.

Thats what I did, now I have a set of JBL components in my car. .

Also how did you fit the red neons in the boot?

 

[LMJ]

yeah that's what I meant - what Craig said above ...

 

[LMJ]

cool Arun - different! proper custom then... unique!...

I've had a look at a few door pockets with speaker holders, but i also like the idea of the custom ones... ill see how much i can get the door pockets for, then see from there...

neons were fairly easy to fit, as I've got an amp fitted, the positive wire connects from there then the negative wire into the ground cable.... I've mounted the neons at the back of my parcel shelf, I'm also fitting a push to break switch so when boot opens and closes light switched on and off...

cool Arun - different! proper custom then... unique!...

yeah they are different lol, I will probably do something similar to that and paint it red, then the bit where door cards go in the door panels red as well....if I can get some red leather look material I'll use that

 

[LMJ]

awesome! you can make some leather inserts for me too while you're at it! White leather!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

lol will do .....

I'm not to sure if you can get red leather, or leather look material, if you can i have no idea of where to look lol.....

If i get hold of some I'm going to get my mum to stitch the door cards (shes good with sewing machines ) with a bit of padding underneath , just to make it nice, soft and proffesional .....then I can put em on

 

[LMJ]

awesome!! if they look decent - do you fancy doing the same for me using your template? That'd be cool!... I'd pay you for material and P&P yeah...

 

[abhardwaj1990]

yeah I will do,
I'm sure white leather is easier to get than red lol....if I cant get hold of it I'm going to use carpet instead, like subwoofer carpet...

 

[abhardwaj1990]

wooo found some!!

[LMJ]

awesome mate! yeah if you wouldnt mind - and your mum would be willing to do another set for me then thanks alot! That would be great!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

It shouldn't be a problem, if mine goes well then I'll do yours, but would the cards be the right size? Mines 5 door, yours is 3...so your door is slightly longer?

 

[LMJ]

aah damn yeah - tell you what. I could send you a cardboard cutout or whatever of all the ones I wanted to do... say the front doors and the rear 1/4?

 

[abhardwaj1990]

yeah man, sounds like a plan, if it goes well I could start a business for this ....got my clocks by the way .....
but I can't get distracted at the moment, I've got to finish my college coursework... when I've finished, then I'll play around with them

Wow, normally I would consider a car like this to borderline chavvy.

But I've gotta say it's very impressive, I like what you've done and it seems to work very well with the lines of the mk2

Definetly keeping an eye on this! Well done in doing something different, interior looks fantastic.

thanks man

I had a feeling some people may find it slightly chavvy, however i've not seen a chav car with stripes lol


Update:
Recieved my new dials with the rev counter, mileage is at 98,000 and car is 44,000 so will have to get them adjusted before I fit them properly...

I love the way they look, and hopefully I can get them reset sometime soon
And I know it looks filthy, not been hoovered or dusted for a whole 2 weeks!! lol
