Cool Another one for the Flap Club

Here's a couple of pics of Calvin's completed roof flap from today!! The classic one is pretty different to the Newages ones but was installed without any problems!! Come on Si and Kev, sort it out

Hopefully Calvin's a happy bunny and remembered to put it down when he got on the motorway





And here's Red's entry for the show and shine

Spot on Frayz is still up for fitting both mine and Kev's and funny enough we spoke on Saturday about this and hope to come up with a fitting date quite soon

Have you got some more detailed pics there Merv around the fitting of the metal frame and what Calvins kit looked like off the car as Frayz has not fitted a classic one as yet and we just want to make sure we get as much info to hand as possible.

I lost some plastic screws so we have had to order a few more so we are not far off it at all here.

Half of Wales will have hatches soon the way it's going

Yes Lee did a top job - removed the existing alarm system ( and what a mess the wiring was for that ) and the kill switch which was a bit of a potch if you forgot about it and armed it and then tried to start the car.

The speakers are sounding brilliant and he really does do a perfectionists job - he tested both sides independently and even if there was a tiny bit of vibration off the door panel came until he was happy that it was perfect.

I can't fault his work in the slightest and in the end he was picking up vibrations that I could not even hear and correcting them before he was happy to let the car and me go - I felt like a hostage in the nicest way possible.

I had never heard of Morel speakers (and they are not cheap Halfords rubbish) before today but I will insist on having them put in the back doors and I will be going back to see Lee as he did such a fantastic job - I would recommend Sonic Frontiers to anyone wanting an alarm, ICE or tracker fitted without hesitation.

Sonic Frontiers

And thanks Dylan for putting me onto him.

Who's going to be brave enough for that one

I've got some "banging" ABBA sounds you can have Ty - they will realy put your new Speakers to the test - It's sick Man

P.S. Ty, what was that L.E.D disc thing on the dash - was it the alarm

Thanks but definitely no thanks on the ABBA sounds but I did test it on the way home with some Eminem and Black Eyed Peas.

The disc was part of the existing alarm system but it wasn't even connected and was just for show.
