    Default Boot

    Ok so I was sick of my shitty boot look so I decided to rebuild it and add some cheap sound proofing.
    As you can see I added a step so the sub would sit on it nicely and behind that I got some mdf wood and mounted my to amps on to them.
    The boot is half completed. When I get some more time im planing on boxing around the sub and installing 2 6inch speakers.
    I have sound proofed the whole boot. It dosnt make to much difference but it was noticeable.

    These clay bars are awesome. Anyone that wants a near perfect paintjob I suggest gets one of these. I always thought my paint was in excellent and clean condition.
    I did half my bonnet and the clay bar was brown like rust.
    My car now looks awesome and the paint feels like glass: D
    Will post up photos of my car later today or later next week.
