ok service is done! tinkered with various bit and bobs also. now have the black carpeted gti parcel shelf mounts, just need the shelf now, steering wheels on straight, rear speakers are now hook up and working, check straps are all tight and non clicky now....... Also pick up the 16v rear lights tom so they will be on soon and then golf wont look quite so chav with its black rear lights!

stealth! lol looking good got to have good sounds! Any other little plans or that it for now?

ive got to hook the amp up and put the sub in (just the small 10 the i had in the ibiza in a free standing box. need it to be easy to remove). im still on the hunt for a gti parcel shelf so i can do the dreaded and mount my 6x9's in it :hide: (cant be arsed with the hassle and expence in making/buying a stealth shelf........i think:shrug:). that and i need to do something with the front speakers as the 22 year old standard one dont seem to like my hu powering them:rolleyes:

other then that just a few little bits here and there. still not sure if i keep this car or just run it for 6months and flog it:shrug:

Ah I thought the amp was running the front speakers I used to run 6x9s in previous car but then preferred to have decent fronts amped and same as you small 10" sub. Ha if I had teh car 6 months I'd prob do the same as you tbh few things like the service mainly to make it easier to sell on and make a bit of money back!
