mate, if you do what you have planned, i salute you. if that gets done, i wouldnt touch it. IMO thats the best possible car for a p-plater. great find mate

ELs are better than AUs but EF are better than ELs

best bet is respraying the red moulds. i resprayed mine and they came up better than new. i think they go for about $380 on ebay, thats just the front one

Looks great, good on you for saving up the cash too

If your upgrading to premium sound, I'd probably spend the money on better speakers / head unit / subwoofer and amp if I was you.

I have the premium setup in my car, hooked up to a new sub / amp.. all stock speakers apart from the sub... it sounds pretty decent but it really needs more powerful speakers, head unit needs more tune-ability (midrange, subwoofer would be good - there is wayy too much mid range) and the head unit needs more power.. but the speakers do sound pretty good, they just don't handle much power... I added the AUX in, its alright for now.. just saving up some money and I'll eventually upgrade it.

yeah iv already put in a pioneer head unit getting pioneer speakers allround and putting a sony 1000watt subb in a the same time swhould sound nice
