So what do you guys think? Are those good speakers? Is the price OK at 200 - 220 euro (incl fitting) ?

Price looks fine, and I'd bet the speakers would be very similar to the Infinities. There's only so much you can do with this type of speaker within this budget. There will always be a lack of bass (the problem is the lack of cabinet made by the door) and the quality is going to be average given that it's a cheap source with a small (15w or so) cheap amp.

Bass can only be fixed by the addition of a small sub, a bit like Roger Harris's Alpine - or by doing the job properly and fitting a nice amped setup.
