Enough clues given already as to what I'm doing

Any way midnight tonight the car goes off the road and over the next couple of weeks a couple of transformations may occur.

Couple of subtle changes to the front rear and sides ! !

Heres how she looks ATM -

Well it's been a while since i made any real progress and i have just re-fit the front end with a couple more additions.

The front end started life like this



Then I Bought and fitted the Steinmetz Grille



Then obviosly some parts needed colour-coding





Then in the next couple of days the lower splitter arrived, so i got to work colour-coding it, then attaching it was not as easy as i thought

After eventually getting silicone everywhere and then tidying up, i managed to get the splitter fixed into position, Unfortunately the thinners i used to wipe away the excess silicone, Damaged the fresh paint on the splitter.

so... off came the front end and... the whole front bumper got resprayed.

Then this morning i have put the front end back on and taken the folowing pictures.

I wanted to leave it black but when it came to removing it, there are shitty clips which look like they are heat pressed together and i did not fancy breaking them or siliconing them back on afterwards........ and masking it all off was too fiddly.

Black would be nicer...

Not sure, was gonna keep em black

all depends on what i am doing with the mirrors, I need to find some electric heated mirrors, open to suggestions if any one has any ?


rub strips are a pain in the arse to paint, especially if they are on the car, removing them from the car would leave a shitty mark behind

Yeah, i look at the pictures and i agree, believe it or not i sold my c20xe corsa B and bought this C with the intention of no modifications, keep it nice and standard.

I just cant do it, i cant keep a car std, it has to be nice and subtle but not std.

There has got to be treatment for people like me.

Well I have now re-fitted the rear with an Irmscher Airdam and color coded the Boot Handle.

Toying with the idea of Morrettes, What do you think

Also considering lowering 30 - 35mm

Personally i think the front is low enough as std, maybe just drop the rear.
