As ant said you will get a sweet sound for

depends what you want to spend and what your setup is really, if you want to spend the money i can recomend the focal mids and tweeters, fitted some in mine a few weeks ago and boy do they sound good :D if you go to a good car hifi shop you can demo some different sets on there stands and get some a...

Sorry guys didn't mean to scare people into thinking that if you only fused at the batt end your car would go up in flames :0 It's a bit like lightning, it's rare for people to get struck but it does happen, for a few quid its worth fuseing both ends and if you have more than one amp you will need t...

Very nice mate, I was thinking of something like that for mine.

you need to fuse both ends of a power cable, theres a lot of juice runs down a power cable, I used to be in the trade years ago and have seen what happens to peoples cars when they only fused at the battery end, I remember a mini that had a faulty amp in the boot,caused ashort on the power terminati...

ran mine through the ecu box aswell. best way on the b5.5

also make sure you fuse your power cable at both ends, battery and boot, otherwise if something goes wrong it can make a bit of a mess of your motor

I would also check your pollen filter housing if you have not already, as thats where the water gets in, more than likely it will need doing if you have had blocked plennium drains. also check the ccu unit under the passanger side carpet and all the wireing, I took the carpet out of mine to dry it p...

I looked at removeing my front ones when i fitted my speakers to sound deaden my doors but didnt have time in the end, if the front is same as rear you will have 2 round rubber grommits which open up, you then have to wind the window down till you can see thebolts for the window glass and undo them,...

cheers for all the comments guys I think the previus owner of the car must of taken good care of it. not perfert,a few stone chips hear and there and a scratch on the n/s/r door which needs some work, but the car does seem to clean up well. only got one little parking dent also, must admitt when i g...

gave the car a good clean on sunday, never used wax before just used polish in the past. didn't have time to use the clay bar i brought, but gave it a wash then some autoglym srp, then some miguiers nxt tech wax. used the polish and wax on the alloys aswell so there nice and shiney and protected a b...

by the looks of that picture lee it looks like in the trade that would classed as a green top tint (could be my monitor though) I know what you mean they do look as though they are a black(dark smoked), the origanal screens from vw always did have a darker better top tint than some of the other supp...

not sure about the standard one being black lee, unless they do a black one now but they never use to they always use to be a very dark blue or green that does look blackish. you could always get a clear one and get one of those strips to stick on the top of it with lee/mrs lee printed on :lol: (lol)

hi lee I used to fit windscreens years ago, i think you will find most bodyshops use a local company when they need screens done that used to be about half the work the company i worked for did, bodyshops and car dealers. Maybe next time you spot a windsreen van have a word with the driver about doi...

nice work mate,

not really liked the look of the standaed b6 then i saw this one, just go's to show what a difference some good mods can make to a car. lookin nice , well done

How have you got the tweeters fitting so flush on the plastic ? Im just in the middle of fitting tweeters and the curve on the plastic is leaving gaps behind the front of the tweeter surrounds :( mine have gaps at the sides aswell, i only put then in there like that as a temp solution, will be gett...

Looking good. How much better than the standard set up are a proper set of components then? Could you get 2 sets of components, and fit them in the rear too? How much if you dont mind me asking? all depends how much better on what speakers you get and how you fit them in my opinion, also i wouldnt ...
