I rang my local Ice dealer yesterday about upgrading my front speakers in MY04 Scoob.He suggested that i go for the Focal 165's V2 component's.
I asked him if he was sure that they would fit as I had heard via this site that they needed to be the slim Model, He assured me they would and quoted £250, which was a good price.
Needed a harness for my head unit, wiring kit for the Sub and blanking plate, As he was going to fit my amp, Sub and head unit, and the front speakers was going to charge £200 for fitting but would throw the dynamat in for free. One happy bunny !

BUT on collection of my Scoob he explained that the speakers would'nt fit so has ordered some slim ones with a reduction of £50, I told him what i had repeated the day before and said that they would'nt fit !
He could'nt Fit the head unit because the harness was'nt the correct one. So I have a Sub and amp fitted but not connected and he charged me £150 for the labour, Has promissed to look after me with the final bill when the speakers arrive on Tuesday !

I want to know what your thought's are on this and what i should pursue !

This is'nt a back street bodge it and scarper company by the way.

Your comment's will be appreciated.

Cheers

 

Well dont know if we are talking about the same Focals but I have Access 165 A's fitted in my sti 8 and they sound great.

 

I have the slims - they're pucka. Can't hear my PPP exhaust with the volume halfway

bought focal165kf v2 components today,sextons had just fitted a set in car yesterday they used vx astra spacers to bring em out, i'll let you know the out come when i try to fit em.waiting to get amp and sub 1st.

 

They do fit you've just got to make spacers for them out of 12mm mdf.
Only thing is, because of the depth of them your window's won't go all the way down!!

 

Update, The V2 slims are in and he knocked £100 off the bill for the inconvieniance, So total price was £350.
By the way sounds 1000 times better than the original speakers.
