gixerboy · Post by **gixerboy** » Wed Jun 13, 2007 10:09 am

first i sand it with 40 grit
then use plastic adhesion promoter
then i use a combination of liquid plastic first to hold any rings in place and fill voids
then i use a fibreglass paste with carbon fibre in it
then filler
works for me
i would love to find somewhere over in the u.k that sells the duramix 40/40 & 40/58
can anyone get it cheap as i would defo be interested in buying some

alcantara for the top plastics around rear windows,a pillars,dash
and roof lining

I can get it, I love that stuff. Unfortunately there is no such thing as cheap. I think it's ~$50 for a shop tube plus you need the tips and a gun..........for start up use you are looking at ~$250 which is 1 gun, 1 tube, and 5 tips.

i can get it from flebay from the u.s for less than that
also found a supplier that sells 40/40 for $28

updates on the install
not had much time lately,got the main thing sorted-clifford alarm fitted
made a rear panel for the back of the seats,not much foam left in them now thoough

gixerboy · Post by **gixerboy** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 9:41 am

hi all done a little bit more
covered the bottom half of front door cards and personally im quite happy with the outcome.
just wanted to ask before i cover the top,ive heard that the ti-tweets prefer to be close to the mid-range drivers,i was going to install them in the a pillars what experience have people had with there tweeter placement.

brenzbmr@sb · Post by **brenzbmr@sb** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 1:00 pm

looks good.

i would keep the tweet closer to the mid..

gixerboy · Post by **gixerboy** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 2:09 pm

is this through experience???

brenzbmr@sb · Post by **brenzbmr@sb** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 11:04 pm

yeah, if you had maybe not installed the mid on the door then not to bad.
but if you have room on your sail pillers then put them there.
i think on the a pillers will be too far and may actually cause a
pinpoint type of sound were you can tell the mids are seperate from
tweets.

managed to find a set of grills for my rear 9`s but when they entered parcelforce hub some twat decided they deserved them more than me (thieving gits)

so if anybody has any that they are willing to part with,i have the money waiting and it would be greatly appreciated

Post by **Wakeup** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 11:57 am

sorry my 9's are being used as well.
but very nice setup! Can't wait to see the finished product.

gixerboy · Post by **gixerboy** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 8:29 am

few updates
/transferedfiles486.jpg[/IMG]
a pillar build trimmed in alcantara

roof lining retrimmed and matrix added for easy tweaking

drivers door fully retrimmed and i know the window switches still need to be moved

view from inside to boot build

rear cards

rear of back seats with amp and tideq

panel to cover rear battery with xovers and uplink box

boot lid retrimmed

finally boot build still needs plexy in the centre and cover for amp wiring,the wiring`s a bit ghetto at the mo as im waiting on some decent splitters
