   normally a custom fibreglass job. Unless you are confident using it i would get it done professionally or get a holder for the a pillar..

   www.audiosport.co.uk can supply a panel that replaces the vent. Thats what I used, but I modified it and blended it in to the surround, and also cut the extra hole for the kms display
