                                        The Door Furniture Fixed to the car

 

In the afternoon I continued working on the speaker board.  I decided to cover it in a carbon fibre viynal as the black covering was a bit ruined.  I also fixed some Blue el wire so it can be lit up at night.  Below are the pictures of the Speaker board in th eprocess of being covered and finished

Did you make a paper template for your speaker box? If so, I need one. That looks really good, and I am no carpenter.I saw your Mini while updating my forum and had to have a look. Check out my Mini and see if you don't agree, that we have a few things in common.Your car looks so much better since the color change. Post all new stuff when you can. I'll give you 5*****s, and add you to my friends list.
