Can't see why not, just cut the metal to your new shape.  Tho have you thought about a good set of speakers up front and amp them?

Yeah will put a decent set up front but wanted 6x9s in rear to add decent bass as i cant have a sub in boot as all space is needed.

Would prefer full range sound in the back and a small amp to power front and rear speakers, where do most on here hide amps in their mk4's

You won't need full range as you already have separate tweeters
