Just wondering are the covers in the door cards easily removable to replace the speakers in a ph2 172? My left hand speaker has started farting like a goodun so ordered a cheap pair of 13cm jvcs to replace them with, I've seen you can buy the covers separate to the cards which would lead me to...
Anyone got a UK source for one of these? Been looking for a while as I'm fed up of the tiny spoiler on my flame red 172, not sure if I want a cup or a v6 spoiler but I can't find either in flame red only black silver or blue. Thinking if I've got to get one painted I may as well go the whole hog...

I'm a 28 year old ex mechanic, served out my apprenticeship from age 17-20 in several garages, a used car dealership and a German/VAG specialist. Since then I've been in and out of the motor trade and constantly...
