Has anyone created a door/removable panel for the centre compartment of the juwel cabinets? If so could you point me in the direction of the thread(if you made one) of some pics. Also any idea where I could get a panel of the cabinet from to use
 
Will have to check it out as I have the black one and doubt there is a lot of call for black cabinets for kitchens etc :)

You would be suprised :lol:
You could order a silver/white/cream as a contrast.

The speed at which some of you guys prove me wrong astounds me every time :). I will stay with black. That way the mrs may not notice I have spent money on the cabinet, then open the new door to find the 406 I am picking up today :eek: (shhhh it's a secret)
 
James I was only talking to someone the other day who had taken the left centre piece out of his Rio180 and attached it to the left door to make a larger door to create a bigger internal space. So it looked like TWO doors closing onto a flat panel in the middle, just that they opened as two doors.
 
Hi James,
Check out Jagz's Rio Jungle journal, page 1 about half way down he explains how he has modded his cabinet in exactly this way with a removable section which covers the centre shelf area :thumbup:

Well done Ady, I couldn't for the life of me remember who it was who had done it :) Looks pretty good too.
 
easy mod litrally to do guys take out 4 screws from either upright and add some magnet catches , ridgidity is held by the rear panel still being in place,

i have modded a rio 180, a vision 180 and a rio 400, although when i done the vision and the rio 400 i removed both center up rights so i had to strengthen the cabinet with a piece of timber in the middle that sat behind the front removerble panel
 
Cheers guys. The tank is filled and wot be being stripped for the foreseeable future. I don't need a bigger space as such I just want to put my second external in the middle section and hide it. I am going to buy the slab from b an q that hoggie found cut it to size then just get some magnet sets so I just have to open one of the original doors and pop it off. Not quite as cool as jagz but will do the job. I hope :)
