The suggestion above should work well for you. As noted in my sig, I have an iDA head unit from Alpine, the component speakers from Alpine and the Power Pack Mini Amp from Alpine and love it. Enough volume and clarity for what I like and I can still use my trunk 
. You may have to modifry the speaker baskets to make them fit (or almost any non oem speaker), but that is easy enough.

Whereabouts are you in the UK?

Wolverhampton in the west midlands unfortunetely.
Ive just taken alook att he reviews for those type G's and they seem alittle poor
. i may be forced to go with the R's which appear very good. I didnt really want to mount an amp and its a shame that the KTP-445 seems like such a good piece of kit, small too.
Damnit, this could get a tad expensive.

I've mostly found positive reviews of the Type-Gs...
If you really want to, go for the Type-Rs, then feel free, but you really need a more powerful amp to get the best out of them, in which case, 2nd hand is the way to go - you could pretty much do it within your £200 budget if you take that route.
Do remember that you'll have to mount an amplifier somewhere, so size is important, and on that front the 445 works out very well indeed.
The MRP-F300 plus the Type-Rs will be lovely though at £270... Amp is £120 here: http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/alpin...er-p-2234.html
The other advantage of getting the amp is that you could easily add a subwoofer at a later stage should you wish to do so.

If you want some help with installation, do post up in the UK section, always plenty of people more than happy to help out (not me though - I'm utterly useless at that hands-on business)

I will considure the Type G's Lovegroova. I think for a starter set it wont be such a bad point to begin with.
Just the MDF spaces now and i should be all set..
