always jealous of the calais, such a clean looking car.

Looks very damn nice mate

[grantlyy]

Thanks guys, I'll get some better photos once my charger for my camera arrives.

I'm getting my dash lights converted to blue and white this weekend from a friend so will put pics up once done.

I recieved most of my parts this week for the first round of upgrades:

Morel Dotech Ovation 6 Front speakers, Genesis Profile Five 5 channel amp, Pioneer AVH-P3300BT, Yella Terra 1:8 roller rockers, Alloy OTRCAI and a bulk pack of Dynamat.

Also got my friend to convert my dash to Blue and White LED's which have made a massive difference to the interior.

I did double layer of Dynamat one on the inner skin and one on the outter skin which has improved the sound form the speakers quite a bit. The quality from this speakers and amp is amazing, such crisp sounds with enough midbass to make a sub almost redundant for more genres.

Roller rockers and OTRCAI will be fitted within a few weeks and then a Mafless tune from OZtrack tuning will be organized by using the autocal remote tuning unit.

Bit of an update, a friend fitted the 1:80:1 roller rockers yesterday for me which seems to have helped the car in the top end whilst accelerating.

still waiting to fit the OTRCAI and then tune the car.
Im also considering fitting a small 220/220 or so cam to it whilst doing the rest.

Huge amounts of awesome in this thread. Awesome combo. What do you think of the Genesis Profile series amp?

[grantlyy]

The amp is great, the sound from the Morels is very clear with a ton of Midbass which is a big change from all my previous setups (Rockford Fosgate and similar)
