Well according to the experts it should sound a lot punchier and should basically sound better in terms of quality. I haven't noticed a huge difference but I'm getting my amp adjusted to suit the box on saturday and some advice on whether i've done the box right, and I'll get back to you mate

About £130 I reckon. A lot more than I anticipated. Although the guide says that you only three of those fibrglass kits and they're about £9 each, but I couldn't see them being enough to do it all.

Yeah definately, you need plenty of time too!
took me a good two weeks because I had just started uni as well. If I had done it continuosly whithout focusing on anything else, I reckon it could be done within 2-4days of hard work

Sounds a bit punchier mate and generally a bit better quality! I like
And Thanks everyone for the comments!

First of all got an even smaller aerial: (my old s2000 one is now for sale once a certain Mr Flora decides to give it back)
Random Pic:
Replaced my spare tyre with this (to balance out the weight of the sub box )
Got another set of lights to Tint the right color this time!
Contemplating between doing them all red, or tintin the led bit black and the rest red
And now for the biggest update of all!.....
....

I've got a new shorter number plate which is actually on straight for the first time in 6 months
A pic of the custom bracket holding it on...
And finally the best for last...
Thanks for looking

Numberplate bracket is a great idea!! I think you should go for all red on the lights

good choice mate these aerials look so good!!
think i may get a booster for mine though as the singal is a bit dodgy on some stations!
