Handed in my notice today, and got told I didn't have to work it...so...

I fitted a nickel finish positive battery terminal, with integrated volt meter - handy way of keeping an eye on the battery level when parked at shows with the bonnet open, and the lights and stereo on ;)


Image


Image

I need to tidy the wires up a bit, might route them differently...

And I got a delivery while I was packing my tools away, my Heko wind deflectors arrived :)

I've had a set of Mazda ones for a while, and never fitted them as I am still not too sure, and the mazda ones are 'permanently' fitted, while these just clip into place, so I can take them off if I decide I don't like them ;)

I also thought I'd post this pic in here too, Oli took it at a local UKModded meet, and I love the way it looks 8)

Looks evil in that pic - i didnt think Heko did them for the BJ - sure I checked before I got my climair ones.

Looks good mate - I had a Buddyclub voltage stabiliser/earth kit at one point that had an on board voltmeter - it came with a trip swith to the bonnet catch to make sure it went off when the bonnet shut - but it was a bigger beefier display than that - sure it'll be fine.

I decided that whilst it still allowed some practicality - I can still get the shopping in the boot - the big subwoofer box looked a little dull...so I had a go at tarting it up a bit

I got the router out, and cut a fair bit of the wood away, so I could fit my new parts in "sub-flush"


Image


then came the covering - it's a pretty bug box, and it was pretty hard to cover it in one piece of cloth, with no folds or creases 8)


Image

Image


As the flash is on, you can see the silver bars beneath the cloth, you don't normally see them...

After cutting the cloth to fit the bass units, I thought I'd test the electonics 8)


Image


then it was a case of re-fitting the bass units, and wiring the new bits up to the remote power for the amps, so they only illuminate when the head unit is on 8)

back in the car...


Image

Image


Hard to capture with the camera, and they are pretty subtle (of course) but you get the idea...

right side


Image


left side 8)


Image

Image



I'm really pleased with it :D

I also had hundreds of stone chips on the bonnet, so now seemed a good time for a respray :D

As it was...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


and as it is now... still some compound and rain spots, but you can see the difference :D
