Yeah I'm going to get onto painting the calipers, they are looking very ugly. Thanks for the advice

Bit of an update.....
Got a new stereo put in a couple of weeks ago (Will post up some pics when I clean the interior  )
This is what I got:
HU: Alpine 9857i
Front: MB Quart DSF 216
Rears: Stock (and just running of the HU)
Sub: RF P212D2
Amp: RF p450.4 (to run sub and front speakers)
This was installed in custom box and custom boot panel, looks really neat and ALMOST factory
Also just spent the last 2-3 days sound deadening the front doors, made some new pods and am also sound deadening a few other spots as we speak (My poor hands are so dirty and sticky - You will never really know how much time and effort it takes to sound deaden your doors until you do it!!!! lol)

Thanks mate. Yeah it looks really nice when its clean and when its a dark day - Looks really nice then.
Bit of an update. I colour coded my door handles last weekend. Came out alright, colour is a little different (But I think I notice it because I'm looking for it!) Will get some pics up when I wash the car.............
