I am getting some components. I don't think I can stretch to a set of 3 ways at the moment.... So I was wondering on which would be best for that price range? Opinions on JL's and Focals would be great 
The Focals are polykevlar and this is supposed to be good technology right?
I dunno, suggestions please. I don't want no shabby crap in my new install
Oh, for amplification I will probably be using Directed Electronics A802's

Focal polykevlars, i.e. 165 KP's will be a lot more than £200 retail, more like £350.
You might be able to stretch to a set of polyglass for that money.
IMO tho, get the best set of rainbows you can afford off of http://www.caraudiodirect.com/
That will be the Rainbow SLC265 Kick at £189.99

You can never have too much power lol, my comps are running off an amp with more than double their rated power and its great. Much better to have too much than not enough power.
