Stonkin Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I would not bother fitting a cover. They are far more hassle than they are worth. Have a read though this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?331919-Car-cover-superb-quality&highlight=cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Good link ^ What about for inside a garage for dust prevention for example? To be fair, even the guide for the car cover I have suggests it should be removed on a weekly basis anyway. I dont think they're ever supposed to be a permanent use 365 a year solution.

Alfie Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Was just going to be used over the winter period save the frost and rain getting to it , I was thinking just give the car loads of wax but parents insist on getting cover for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only advice if you are driving in the winter is. Don't use a cover. Use waxes etc, but make sure you clean the car, especially if roads have been salty etc. Edited November 2, 2016 by Mike2JZ (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 So just wonder if use guys could advise me , looking to upgrade my speakers was wondering if anyone could really recommend a decent setup , also wondering where I can get some more of these plastic clips to cover the screws in the panels ? I did search eBay but no luck Cheers Alfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max5437 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Can't help with the clips but with Audio you've got a few options Srd and tb developments do conversions to fit bigger front speakers (a must in my opinion) Rears can fit a 16.5 speaker I believe if you drill the extra mounting hole in the metal Then you've got head units galore best thing is to try some out and look for features If you want to go further you can add a sub and amp for the speakers but this again limits space and is more expensive. A budget would help suggest specific things mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 I already fitted the headunit which is pretty decent , just after a good make on the speakers , it already has a pioneer sub/amp box might take it to place in Middlesex to fit security and see what they recommend to upgrade the speakers to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Still wondering about what speakers to upgrade the originals with what brackets to use on the fronts and them little plastic clips to cover the screws in panels . Any ideas anyone ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max5437 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 If you decide on 4" speakers I have a set of the TB development adapters sat at home unused if you wanted them off me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 I did contact tb development , would 4" be good for the fronts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max5437 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 They'd be enough but it's all personal preference, Iv got 4" in mine and what they lack in bass I made up with a sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 So my bumper getting touched up , I'm removing the number plate holder & the Toyota badge (took time to think about it and thinks looks better without can always put back on) just wondering any ideas use guys could come up with ideal place to stick the number plate I was thinking ... But open to suggestions haha, I like the one in the grill but don't wana stop any air flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 You don't want it disturbing air flow to the FMIC. If you don't want it fitted to the bumper just put the plate on the passenger side of your dash so it's viewable from the windscreen.
