I'm sure you've all seen pics of my car, but you can GTF anyway, cos i'm not classified the new YOYO, so here they are again:










As you can see, i've got a few Subtle mods, and i want to keep the car looking nice and Subtle.

I'm not sure what to get next, its either a rear spoiler for it, or some 6x9's in the shelf, due to the standard rear speakers rattling like fook.

What do you all reckon?

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!! Not those pics again!!

Um, I'd lower it if the budget allows it?

Wouldn't personally go for 6x9's, bit poo IMO

The best front components you can afford

Either 16.5/17cm, ideally running from a separate amp rather than the head unit (although this can always be done later).

I had Focal 165K Polykevlar components in my old Corsa and they were bloody superb! 'bout £300ish...

Bit out of my price range, i wanted to get rear speakers sorted really, cos i like fading the sound to the rear, but i hate rattling. What do you think about me putting some 6" circular components in the rear?

Well, in that case get some good quality 2 or 3 way speakers and fit them in the factory positions - stealthy that way too

Oh, and buy some Dynamat at the same time to cut down on the vibrations

You can't get to it, i tried on my old Sxi, and i would have had to removed the rear seatbelts, to get off the panel, and a new parcel shelf is only £25 from vauxhall.

What sort of speakers should i get in the shelf then?

And would you say speakers over Spoiler?

Well, depends if you're after some styling or audio really? And how far you want to go with the audio route?

If it was me, I wouldn't have any rear speakers, but that's just me...

Yeah definatly don't buy rear speakers just whack a sub in the boot and get the best comps u can afford. I know I'm repeating Trotty but thats the best way.
Don't bother with the spoiler, if u want summat for the exterior then colour code it. Or u could buy a badge-less Grill.

I was thinking Steiny grill, but i dont wanna cut my old Bumper up. As i said i want to keep the subtle look, and i like the contrast between red and the black arches etc. A spoiler does make it look better, but i'm really unsure what to get now

Just get a few things colour coded like boot handle, top of the rear window, side stripes and the mirror and mirror base.
