I'm PXing my 107 on Monday and have put the original shelf back into it. I'm looking for a quick sale on the speaker shelf and will take £40 quid for it. You pay the postage though, or I could deliver if it's not too far away (I'm Northampton based).

If there are no takers, then ebay it is. I can put a pic up if anyone is genuinely interested.

I'll take first dibs on that - other post relevant though, need a few things answered before I commit to anything 

EDIT: Think I'll just be sticking to fitted ones - can't be arsed with all the hassle else (not that I'm lazy or anything, lol!)

See i would buy these, but i'm stuck like acra.. wouldn't know how to fit it!! XD

It will psychologically sound better even if it's not wired up though!

[ade hook]

they carnt sound worse, thats for sure

Bump! Still for sale peeps.

Thing is, how much kit do they come with? Mine turned up with some nice connectors to easily slot into the original thing on the radio, a neat little white connector all nicely taped up the other end and some nice instructions... 'twas an easy fit, just so long as you have all the wires, if not - how would you get 'em fitted?

[Modey]

From what I understand it's not too difficult, but I haven't attempted it myself. Disconnect the head unit, connect up the wires then run them to the back of the car. Routing and hiding them would be the slightly time consuming part I suppose.

If you are happy to pay three times the amount to avoid the hassle, then fair enough. You pay your money, you make your choice.

If had an opportunity to get the speaker shelf cheap, then I would have had a crack at it myself. I didn't fancy trying to cut up my existing shelf and fit my own speakers though, I think I would have made a mess of that.

I did a combo job - a Pug shelf and loom from the breakers (107 versus large wall) and then £40 Pioneer speakers to replace the muffled junk in the standard shelf.

I like the fact that the speakers are enclosed (instead of magnets, wires and self-tappers poking out underneath) and I like the fit and finish and lack-of-warranty-issues of the standard wiring loom and connector.

For potential buyers here I suggest checking with the dealers to see if the loom is a part by itself. Assuming it is and is reasonable then the combo approach is (in my opinion) pretty good!

Running the loom takes 20 mins at most.....

You don't cut the holes yourself if you fit yourself. I fitted mine, the speakers come in a new shelf - I compared it to my old shelf, and the trough in the middle is shorter on the new one - so I doubt the speakers would fit in the old shelf.

All the bits of trim needed to remove to hide the wires come off easily and safely - only 'hard' part is getting the right bit to undo the seatbelt bolt.
Remember to run them from the rear to the head unit - do it the other way round and you'll probably have difficulties feeding the wires through due to the end connector being quite fat!

I doubt Pug do the loom by itself - they seem very reluctant to do that kind of thing.

The pug speakers are actually surprisingly good - they do the job, and the bass levels are impressive compared to the original.
Sure, if you're used to stupidly expensive high-quality speakers, they're not brilliant. If all you're used to is the fronts (and aren't looking to have 'annoying-I-can-hear-you-at-trafficlights' syndrome) then the factory rears are more than enough without splashing out for extra costs like pioneers...

Acra, I know they come in a new shelf as I had mine fitted by Peugeot when I got the 107 and they gave me back my original parcel shelf with the car.

What I was getting at was that I wouldn't have wanted to attempt a fully manual job of cutting up the original shelf and putting in speakers like Pioneer's etc...

I did replace the front speakers on my 107 as it was a faily easy job and a half decent set only cost 20 quid from Halfords. The sound quality compared to the original pug speakers was a big difference. I sold the original ones on a car boot sale for about 10 quid I think.

Good stuff, just a pointer for others, like

What were your new fronts like? I think the worst struggle is trying to find some that fit without having to cut away the speaker grill - something I'd rather not do..

I just got a set of Pioneers or Kenwoods for 20 quid from Halfords. Didn't have any problems with the speaker covers afterwards as they fitted nicely in place of the old ones. They did have 4 mount points, and since the Pug ones only had 2, I bent them flat so they didn't get in the way.

Just don't get ones with cones sticking out above the actual speaker and you will be fine.

Ace, I was worried that without them tweeter stick-outs, the sound wouldn't be noticeably different

Believe me Acra, any speakers would sound better than the fronts that come in the 107.
