In the classic (Turbo 2000 99V)
Trying to install an amp and re-run decent speaker wire into the front doors.
Took a look and the big grommets seem to be bonded to the loom that goes from the front pillar into the door. Has anyone got any tips?

Had the same problem, albeit in a bug eye but the principle is the same.

Remove the kick panel underneath the dash at either side. You may need to remove other stuff there too but eventually you'll trace the wires that lead thought to the doors. These wires terminate in a connector behind the kickplate so unconnect this.

Then locate the rubber tube that guides the cable between the body and the door and pull back the grommet from both the door and the one one the body. You should be able to pull the wires out from the bodywork (cos you unconnected them) which leaves you with wired hanging out of the door only.

Now, take the speaker cable and run it through the hole in the body. Then attach the speaker wire to part of an old wire coathanger, lubricate it with washing up liquid and feed it through the rubber cable guide. Once it is through, feed it throught the hole in the door and pull.

Feed the unconnected wires back in to the car body and reattach the grommets (more washing up liquid needed here). Finally plug the connector back in and job done.

Sounds complicated but takes about ten minutes a side.

That's what I did, anyway. Could be a simpler method, but hope it helps
