Well here she is. Done a few things like gloss black sxi wheels off the corsa c, astra mk4 side repeaters, lexmaul backbox, k&n panel in derestricted air box, home made beesting aerial that I turned at work and a richbrook vauxhall tax disc holder. I'm hoping to drop it 40mm soon so it sits nicely on the wheels, heatgun the plastics, and I want a debadged grill and a punto rear wiper. After that, I might just leave it alone as it's nice enough now for a first car! I'd love a lexmaul inlet though  Any comments welcome

The wheels look excellent. all you need is lowering now.
its up to you, but how about debadging it...and as for a grille, go for a stienmetz one, pay a bit more, but it will look the business.
good choice of back box too. looks nice and subtle, and bet its got a good tone too.
we'll have to meet up soon, i'd love to have a look at this. well done

if you use a heat gun to debadge - BE VERY CARFUL...do not leave the heat on too long, it only needs a few seconds on half heat to soften the glue. consequeses is you'll damage the paint work - costy repair job. use a heat gun cautiously or use a stanley knife blade and cut it off and use white spirits to rub off the glue - plenty of elbow grease required

yeah I like the stealth look it gives, matches the trim quite well; I'll have to think about the ice as I need a set of springs and I am trying to save some money as well so all the things I really want keep getting pushed to the back of the pile!

yeah I used auto glym tar remover but to be fair, it was mostly very careful scraping with an old credit card and going over it with t cut. Polished and waxed afterwards
