Headrests/Parcel shelf for w202

[tombobo]

Hi, First post here!
Well my post is, as you can guess, about headrests and parcel shelf for a w202.

What I'm trying to do is replace the parcel shelf with one from a elegance (yeah its only a classic ) so I can put some speakers in without cutting big holes in, but just before I was about to order one it occured to me that there would be holes where the headrests should go. So upon enquiry to dronsfield they said that elegance models didn't have my interior (possibly because mine is such an early model?) but I'm 90% sure I've seen elegances with the same interior as mine with headrests.

So does anyone know where I can get these headrests for sure + how much they are or how much covering them would cost or would you just suggest ripping the shelf apart?

I would attach a picture of my interior to show which it is but the picture is near half a mb and I'm not sure how to compress it! So I'll try describe it. Its cream/tan colour and the actual deco on it is like darker bauge, orangey/redish, light blue and light green shapped objects. Thats the best I can describe it so unless anyone can tell me how to compress a jpeg with no picture softwear thats what you'll have to go on - sorry

Thanks for reading even if you can't help anyway!

first off iirc theres a thread in the howto section about parcel shelf removal

second. theres the holes for speakers under your parcel shelf...

third - look under resize - not compress in whatever u use to view your images... even MS paint (start, accessories, Paint) has stretch / skew under 'image' - resize by 'stretching' to 50% or whatever.. 99% of software has somthing to make pics smaller.. also save as picture.jpg or jpeg and if theres an options tab / button choose a medium quality... dont save as picture.bmp

welcome - and get some pics up...

Yeah I know the holes are there, hard to miss them lol but I would rather have the grills over the back than just the speakers if you see what I mean?
My Paint couldn't open the jpg file but got a mate to do it for me...

While I'm at it for the sake of being lazy and not measuring myself, how big are the holes under the parcel shelf an what size speakers will go in there?

 

[grasmere]

how about posting a picture of your parcel shelf top and from underneath?

Don't bother mate, the speakers that would go in there are midbasses, and they're 16.5cm if you want the size. Just get a sub in the boot and you'll be glad you did that rather than shove some tiny midbasses in the back. However, if you do want speakers in there, you'll have to buy (or make) some adapters. I tried fitting speakers without adapters and it cocked up.

I'm not looking for a load of bass boost really, just a bit of extra volume in the back!
Grasmere posting the pics of above and below won't help with what I need to know, what I'm really trying to find out is just if anyone knows anywhere that can definitly supply headrests in that trim colour.
