Thank you for your help:-)
Hi there mate,

The Focal tweeter fits exactly within the standard location on the front door trim where the factory tweeter sits. You need to run additional wiring as the Focal tweeter is powered from the Focal crossover. I found that it was possible to remove the plastic fitting for the factory tweeter from the trim. Once that was done the plastic mount that Focal provide is an exact fit in the hole left behind. Very convenient !!!

However the rear tweeters are a different story. To fit them I had to actually cut a hole in my rear door trim !!! With very careful use of a Dremel the pictures below show the result.

To get to the rear speakers it isn't necessary to remove the entire parcel shelf. The plastic grilles over the speakers will pop out. Use a thin broad bladed tool under the front edge of the speaker grille and lever upwards firmly. The front clips should release allowing you to remove the entire grille. You can kind of see what I mean in this picture taken through the rear window.

Removing the Sub-Woofer however is a much bigger problem. To do that you do need to remove the parcel shelf. That involves removing the 'C' pillar trims and the special air-bag retaining pins in the 'C' pillars. The best thing is to seach the Web for a copy of the CU2 Service Manual which contains detailed instructions and pictures. (That's what I did)

Cheers, and good luck.
