Greetings 480 fans, just joined your club and i could think of no better way to say hello than with some pics of my new parcel shelf & speakers i have just fitted!

took me many hours and a lot of pissin about, but well worth it i think.
6"x9"s are sooooo cool, everyone should have them!

Oh and here is a pic of Gandalf my beloved white 93 ES!

P.S. I love this forum, so much useful information for newbies, keep up the good work!

oohh aarrr indeed, and get off my land!

i know what you mean, not once have i received a return flash as im driving past a fellow 480 driver! miserable sods, shouldn't be allowed to own a car of such beauty! a mini norfolk meet is a great idea, count me in

Hi Snail!

Welcome to the club, Like the shelf.. I also had one like that but once installed the boot was useless (like you can use it anyway lol) good job mate!

@ Groom, What no one flashes you? Try hanging around the park longer!

Yes, welcome to the club from another member of the white appreciation society!

Tidy job on the speakers but as Martin said, has it restricted the boot entirely?

Roo · Post by **Roo** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 7:14 am

Another white one

were taking over the world!!!

Like the shelf install, planning something like that on mine one at somepoint.

Good work... welcome to the club

Thanks peeps, put a lot of time into making it!

Heres a tip for anyone who is making a parcel shelf: first make a template out of cardboard and use that to mark your mdf, this ensures you get a perfect fit

This does restrict access to the boot but putting a flap or something in would be pointless because of the boot shape it would have to be really small. Anyways can still get stuff in & out by putting the rear seats down

Sophie · Post by **Sophie** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 1:38 pm

One of my mates did that, with a flap, and it's fine, he's got boot space, and the ICE fitted in great ! So I guess that's the best way to do it, so I guess I'll be doing it that way too...

hey ... looks very good ... welcome to the world of 6x9's ...

I didn't want to loose the boot completely, so i did decide to cut a hole and it's very effective ... great access to the pond

hehe!

Here is a pic of the one i did ...

there are more pictures here if anyone is interested ...

I have an MDF template to make a shelf like snailslimes, after Edd copied mine for his.
If anyone wants to get the materials and come down to mark it out.....
need to keep it as eventually Richards car will probably be getting one too.

Murf · Post by **Murf** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:36 pm

Here is a pic of the one i did ...
