Great, I can see them fine now. Very nice, although it could do with some Silver Vision Bulbs! 
What speakers have you installed in the car?
They look somewhat larger than the standard items, so I presume that they produce a decent sound?
Did you fit them yourself?

Hi Robert,
The speakers are 15cm Orion's.
They are from the US but I think you can get them from some good car Hi-Fi shops in the UK.
They run at 3 Ohms instead of the normal 4 Ohms so it makes them a third louder than normal speaker with no distortion. I'm running them off a Phoenix gold amp and a pioneer (Silver) head unit with Multiplay in the boot. Sounds great. You can hear it fine at motorway speeds with the roof down. The dealer fitted the speakers for me and it required making the normal speaker holes slightly bigger. The carpet in the boot had enough stretch in it to get the bigger speakers in without cutting it. The base would be even better if I cut the carpet out in the boot top allow them to use the entire boot as a bass box but it would look a bit crap when you look into the boot.

Sounds great. I'll have to get my speakers upgraded so the stereo doesn't sound as though it's being played through an old coke can. 
Why not remove all the carpet from your boot and line the whole thing with carbon fibre?
It would make the stereo sound better, the boot would still look good, and the roof should slide in and out easily!!!
Mind you, at £23 per sheet of carbon fibre from Richbrook, it would be an expensive modification.
