supersport Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 swapped the speakers for MK6 ones today, made a good improvement. rears:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/C72TLL/220420111040.jpg MK5 on the left mk6 on the right. MK5 was 6 watts MK6 are 20 watts.just swapping the rears made a difference. fronts:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/C72TLL/220420111041.jpg MK5 bottom MK6 top. will do for now, also means i have the old ones to play with. and got this:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/C72TLL/220420111044.jpg mondeo electric sunroof motor, i have access to the car so i will remove the wiring aswell. changed the gear knob for a MK3 fiesta one, as the car was being scrapped and it was betterthan the one on there.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/C72TLL/220420111043.jpg also the label on my fuse box says it's a high spec one. does that mean i can add stuff to it?i want to add front fog/driving lamps at some point, so i hope the wiring might be there.what can i fit on this fuse box then?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/C72TLL/220420111042.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunketh Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 WOW! It has the rare optional rear ach lips!I havent seen a mk5/6 with these on for years. Loving the retro 'mk4 style' interior Good purchase. If you'd had this a month ago I'd have bought the CVH off you, leaving a nice zetec sized hole of course.What ignition does it use ESC? If its the silver one you've already made your money back! what can i fit on this fuse box then?A mouse? Some boiled sweets? A scabby pound coin?

Trig Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Are you going to keep the body/bumpers as they are, making a bit of a sleeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its the silver one you've already made your money back! you could've had the cvh.it's got the silver box on it but thats going back to the bloke i bought the car off. it will stay like that body wise bar a front splitter this year unless i find the right bit's at the right price.
