Picked up a Corsa C last week to try and build/make something presentable for PVS 2013.
First thing I have noticed is that there is a complete lack of drink holders in the front! What the single one in the rear meant to do?
So today I thought I'd make a start on getting something sorted for my can of relentless lol
Ready for the mould to be taken off it tomorrow, so other corsa c owners can eliminate this problem, cig lighter will be fitted just in front of the drink holder.
More photo's will be added along with updates as and when I get a chance to lol

Chris have you fabricated front doorcards for the C yet ? And what about the inner boot panel ? As in the long run i will be after a full set of doorcards and boot panel and i was going to ask what you could do .

Hi Nathan,
Yes I have made the front door card templates, its just the rear inner quarter panels I'll make soon enough.
Just waiting on some supplies arriving and I can do a little more, hopefully have a centre console in the car at the fast show if anyone wants to have a trial lol

Not sure Dave, have you got one with a cable shifter to trial? I still have at least 10mm clearence from the black plastic gear selector bearing thing.
Nearly ready for the final moulding now, then get a couple made and off to the flockers.

I had a quick hour spare tonight so I have set up the rear spoiler with some Kevlar/carbon cloth.
Not sure if I'll stick with this idea just yet but I have to make something for this project lol
I'll add a picture tomorrow when it comes out of the mould.
