Good job but think they would look better in black tbh to match car

Went with the grey colour because that's what the original colour of the pillars were, and it's a perfect match to my headline colour. They are trimmed in Suede, my door panels front and rear and headliner are being done this week. Thanks for the comments

They are the tweeters from a set of DLS Components, tweeters are better placed just below the centre of your a-pillars to direct the soundstage towards the centre of the dashboard . . . Just a lil info for you there.

Looks good mate, should have gone for a darker alcantara if you're doing the pillars and headlining.

Btw, headlining was a pain in the rear to do!!

Cheers mate, lucky for me, I'm not and haven't been doing the trimming & fibreglassing, left that to the professionals at Auto Installs in clitheroe, one of the guys there; carlo is probably one of the best trimmers in the country - his work is second to none. A friend of mine did the fibreglassing for me. I went for the grey colour, because i find the interior a little to dull as it is, want a bit of contrast in the car.

I paid to have mine done too mate, would never mod my interior myself!!

Was just relating to the amount of swear words my trimmer said when putting headlining back in... :whistle:

He did seat centres too, looks nice and dark now, bit more classy.

Then my bodywork and wheels are being refurbished next week, there is quite a bit of damage lol . . . Trying to find the part number for the Seat Sport 5 speed gear knob, its wracking my brains lol

Checked the website and it doesn't seem to list it? Not very good with keeping brochures e.t.c . . . the mother does not appreciate clutter

looking good

from the title I expected a boost gauge not a pair of tweeters

on my old car I installed tweeters on the back of the rear view mirror and the sound bounced off of the windscreen quite well :p

Very nice Mike.

I need to get mine done sometime soon too, and will do it all myself - already bought the a pillars from the dealer.
