The man has an idea, my initial thought was the wet would get to them but they make waterproof MDF and plywood! If all else fails il just whack some PVA on them to seal them!
Off to B&Q i go...

Old wheels were nice but too big for my liking! If they had been the anthracite ones and 16s then they would have stayed!

Got more bits done today
Played about with the ICE abit, didnt sound quite right considering it was meant to be focals up front, so i took the grilles off to have a look! to find:
Hardly focals and the one screw fitment wouldnt do much either!
So had a look to see what was in the back and found it had some still crap but slightly better and more importantly the right size pioneers, so whacked them in with 4! screws!
Played about with the wiring in the boot to tidy it up:
And tried to trace these fooking wires, they are doing my nut in i cant find where they go to! anyone any ideas!
Whilst ive been having the wheels on and off i realised that the arch liners were loose in places from the old wheels rubbing, and also the front bumper wasnt the best fit, so:
Front bumper fits better now and arch liners are all good bar a couple of fittings which i will have to get from renault!
Whilst i was putting the wheels back on i was thinking about spacers again, and as the old wheels had 5mm spacers on i thought i wonder what 10mm looks like so:
Looks much better i think, so will definatly get some!
And lastly the exhaust plate is, GONE! leaves holes but still alot better!
Whilst i was there i removed the sport badge as it looked abit cluttered and well abit more stealth!
And so how it sits now:
What do people think about ride height!
Raise the rear to level out of lower the front?

Last day before i go back to work so wanted to get it as close to road ready/how i want it as wont get much chance now till next year!
Went out and bought a haynes manual, flicking through i found that the top part of the dash is so easy to take off i thought why not as i could try and trace the speaker cables that were doing my head in!
so:
and then the mystery was solved:
One of the previous owners obviously took the focal speakers with them or thought they did, but the crossovers and tweeters are still in the car(well they were) and so the speakers on there own are pretty useless without this lot:
So got all the dash back together and hooked up all the wiring and mounted my headunit nice and secure.
I also temp wired an old voltage display into the amp to see how the battery was doing with the amp drawing power:
Stuck it up the front to see whilst the bass dropped....
and well its up and down like a yo yo(not in pic), so a new battery will be added to the list of things needed!
Then last job i could think of to do was to do the rear suspension!
So i cracked on and got the springs and platforms out:
could go ALOT lower!
I cleaned off the platforms and raised them up and got them back on the car but rain has stopped play for a few mins, so once that stops i will be able to fit the springs back in and bolt shocks back in, wheels back on and drop it back down to see if its the right height or not!

Very nice. I must admit i agree with you on the ph1 looking better too. The lights just suit the round shape better.
Fancy sending me those crossovers  ?

got everything back together, even washed the wheels, but only quickly with water as no hose at mine
and how it sits now, i think it sits just right but will see how it beds in and on proper flat ground!
So its pretty much ready for the road once the ph2 sells, do need a rear fog light and a front sidelight, and as i was putting it back in the garage realised the horn isnt working so that will need some investigation
But all in all im happy now 
SRi_Si: make me an offer for the crossovers
