I really wanna find some cool vinyl with patterns on it. Perhaps a tartan or even something with cartoons on it for mine. I'll just get a sheet of thin plastic or cardboard to lay it over.

If anyone wants alumabond I've got some 4mm left over from making my splitter. Plenty for 2 doors cards.
Sorry James but its black!!!!

Made up my first draught panel today from a scrap bit of alumabond. I think cover over the speaker panel and just add a 6 inch speaker surround on the panel. Haven't decided whether to keep the armrests yet.
