i started re furbing the wheels i bought today, started withe the one that was smashed (now its been repaired)


this is where the damage was


the chap in alloy polishing service's swansea did a real good job on the repair

[steve_earwig]

Do you have a before pic? There's a place about 5 miles from here repairs alloys, they straightened out the wheels on my D8 (bluddy crap roads and while I was there I had a look at some of the other wheels they were fixing - you sure that doesn't belong in the bin? Bluddy amazing!

[jamjar1383]

no the before pic got deleted by mistake but there was a chunk out of the top about an inch deep by 3- 4inchs wide, well chuffed with the job just gotta paint them now

[FarmerPug]

all i can say is thats a well done job.

[jamjar1383]

been busy today refurbing my lauguna front splitter it was quite crusty


looks patchy in pic but thats the paint still wet, so while i was waiting for that to dry i made a start on my boot build



still got a bit of wood work to do and adding some black carpet to the wood bit but im quite pleased with it.

[FarmerPug]

that looks like a very good sound system.
I never thought of this before, but the estate boot looks like a fantastic place to mount one of them range rover drinks cabinets.

[Gary406]

looking nice mate good work,,

what music speakers are you using with the 2 subs ?

[Gary406]

you need a lot of power in the subs in an estate . the biggness and openess of the boot looses a lot of sound ..

you end up feeling it more than you can hear it,

[jamjar1383]

ive got jbl coaxels in the front and rear and 2 pioneer 10" subs, amp that runs the subs is 600 wrms and the other one is about 300 wrms thats more than ample for my taste in music.
as im planning to keep this car (for wayyy more than a year) i thought i should do a tidy boot build and make it look better no wire's every where all tidy, plus the mrs cant complain there's no boot space left for her my sons crap.

[Gary406]

i had infinity coaxels in the front but if you have a tweeter in the doors you get whats called resonating ..
its the tweeter that vibrates
have u ever had it with coax in doors ?

thats why i upgrade to planet audio components , tweeter goes were standard tweeter is and a mid range bass speaker in the door ,

ive got a decent set of 6x9s if you need them mate, just pay postage and there yours.

infinity kappa 693.5i with proper crossovers on them, not cheap ones mate they was 140 new .
work perfect mate see for sale section i put an add there

[jamjar1383]

thanks for the offer gary but im not gonna use them, ive got it all running throught a 7 band graphic eq so i can set it up just how i like it,

[Gary406]

ok mate well there here if u decide otherwise ...
