Default Few little mods (pic heavy)

Having had my Hawkeye a few months I have only been able to address a few issues as money has been tight after purchase. This is what I have done so far:

1. Rear speaker replacement. Having been disguised under speaker cloth I found these horrible speakers where sat in a ruined rear parcel shelf!





I purchased some 5 inch Pioneer components (and a new shelf from Turbomonkeys) as 6 inch speakers can't fit in the factory holes, I also hot some 6x9 mdf mounting plates which makes sure the speakers do not rattle. The results are below.







The front door speakers had been upgraded so didn't need any attention. After getting new rear discs and pads I was lucky enough to get a new double din Pioneer stereo to replace again the badly installed Sony single din (New mounting brackets, screws and surround were needed)



You can choose the light colours but I chose green and red to match the illuminated dials on the dash.



Next was to replace the wheel nuts as they look a bit tatty against my black alloys.



I wanted steel nuts and I wanted matching lockers so I found these from Tpi.



Fitted



Whilst browsing the web for nuts I came across this and had to have it.



The nuts and bolts supplied though are far too short so I bought longer items plus nylock nuts for safety and security.



Hopefully by Easter I will have some extra cash for some major mods but this will have to do for now
