The actual cash budget is still quite modest but time is money so the car owes me quite a lot... It better turn some heads Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

top work mate, i bought a new project last week due to license suspension, i pick it up tomorrow, since i laid out the deposit ive bought a turbo motor, FMIC + piping, boost gauge, catch can, new bumpers and moulds (getting sprayed) and i havent even got the car home yet!!!! i can just imagine whats going to happen once its in the garage!

hey mate, i luv the front speaker pods that much that ive decided to make a set of my own, they look like they will blend with the factory lines of the stock door trims perfectly too. top work!

Yeah man they blend perfectly. I made the top profile copy the factory angle. I'm putting them on berlina trims so The carpet centre should separate them nicely When you make them make sure you leave about 6mm on all sides or your door won't close Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
