I also got some speekers that my dad won:)
and I plan on fiting them to the C piller and wonted to know if any body had done this or if any one can think of a reason not to?
there not masive ones and i had a look under the plastic to see how much clearence there was behind and there is a gap where i think they will fit

In MKIII hatchbacks that is the spot where Volvo placed their VOLVO SOUND SYSTEM (yeah... cardboard...) speakers.

yer i have done it, i used some spacers aswell so they sit out a bit further lol.

hey, cool thanks for the feedback i dont supose you could post a picture of how it turned out

ok a nother question
my car is sitting with the back wheels on an angle (the top of the wheel is sitting in and the botem is out)
why and how do i fix it?
is it just the rubbers or is it bent?

The rear wheels do have negative camber as standard, if it looks the same both sides and isn't extreme it's probably normal

is it normal to have the inside inch balled on both tyres and the rest off the tyre is not very worn out

Have you checked the pressures mate?
theres a sticker on the drivers door edge when open with the correct pressures on.

there is camber on as standard as steve says, but shouldnt be enough for uneven tyre wear on its own.

well having just got it i checked the presure when i got it but i have know idea what it had been like be for that
ill investigate tommorrow

thanks for the help

Someone pops up and points out my stupidity.

The quest for correctness continues.
