Well i got some new tweeters a bit ago and they are alot bigger than the standard speakers and will not fit without some modification to the tweeter case! Or have you mounted them elswhere?
Any ideas on a modification to the case or anything that people have done to theres??
It is on a MK5 polo by the way.

I'd either trim the existing mounts til they fit, as you've got a fair bit to paly with that can hide behind the mesh.
Or look at getting them mounted in the pillars:

i think my best bet would be to fit behind the original tweeter casing. I will have to have a good look at what can be done.
is that picture of you car tim?

Most speakers will fit behind the tweeter casing. You just need to get rid of the excess plastic so they mount correctly.

not sure on the material
but you could always fibreglass the pillars and have them come out at the bottom always looks cool
