Well i have the car just over the year with the intentions to mod straight away...but that didnt happen due air mass sensor failing, clutch and other things that needed repairing. first thing was to get 15" alloys in january 06

was happy and contempt at leaving it at that
next up was an rieger rear apron which i bonded and blended in

then the biggest mistake i made was getting a jap front bumper. i loved it at first but now looking back at it i wish i hadnt


that was it i wasnt going to do anything else till september then i found corsasport then clive jones was selling some 17" Kei Rss in antracite in which we swapped with each other thats right swapped, only thing is i had to collect them



then i was happy



then i sold the front bumper and decided i wanted a gsi which was brought from Rob-D from here

i didnt want it standard so decided i was going to smooth it

still working on it but will get more pics up tomoro

before you paint it, its probably worth smoothing out the recess for the vauxhall badge, you can then fit a aftermarket grill and not have the hole left

I'm nearing the finishing line and should be ready for the next show . so today i decided to begin smoothing the rear bumper ready for painting on 1st july. got my boot popper on but not working yet so will smooth the boot next weekend and finish off the rear bumper and also start the front bumper again.

todays work...

one untouched rear bumper



but then the sander came out



and the work began



plastic welded the recess so that the filler wont sink (sorry no pics). but then it was time to fill



and then a quick rub down is where i left it for today



may work on it in the week but i will see as i have a busy week with an exam on tuesday, london thursday and friday for work but i'm sure i will fit it in

lots to come in the next 2-3 weeks
