Another update.
Changed the lights today for the silver ones,not much difference really exept they are not as bright as the standard chrome ones ,so i think suit the colour of the car better

Hi All,

Got mine last Friday and boy what a car . There is only one issue and thats the speakers, they are very poor. As some of you have changed them already, can you tell me what size and depth of the units you used were please and what make.

Cheers

Dave
