Obsessive

I've finally got around to upgrading the speakers and settled for some infinity reference components. They were one of the few brands I could find without a crap looking logo on the tweeters!
To get the speakers to fit in the doors the plates that the speakers mount to required some serious abuse. This involved bashing the lower section in to prevent the speakers pressing into the door cards.
I decided that the best place for the tweeters was the dash which required a complete removal. Given this I took the opportunity to re-trim the dash and door cards. I also got around to painting the metal under the dash to stop the original yellow from reflecting up through the windscreen vents. (It kept shouting half arsed respray at me :suicide: )
Tado, you can take full credit for the re-trim idea ;) (Yep I've read your Blog)
I'm really happy with the results, given what a tight little car the Beat is it is nice not to have that cold hard plastic feel on the doors anymore. :)
