You know, once installed that looks like a very good job. As good as OEM looking!

Well done.

Wow! I never thought it would end up looking neat like that. Nice one 8)

One thing though, those speakers look small in a way but I suppose someone will tell me they are *far* superior than the stock ones?

Amazing what you can do with wardrobe doors.... :P

They are not *far* superior but they are definitely better! Still doesn't produce the kick I would like, so maybe I'll stick some subs in there.. Or 1 big one in the middle :twisted:

Installed an Alpine HU as well, so that definitely helps!

No sunblind, I never used it anyway. The autodimming mirror helps :)

Not sure if I should pass the exec parcel shelf to someone else or keep it, in case I decide to sell this car and get another '6....

I loved my sunblind so much I broked it by leaving it up for so long (18 months :lol: ).

I found that it created a really nice ambience in the rear, kinda VIP etc.

Yup, no probs but I also liked the idea of 'shading' the rear levvers from the sun and generally keeping the cabin temp down a bit.
