Recieved my Tigra scuttle from aron today (cheers mate, very pleased with it )
I thought id give it a clean behind the bulk head as ive never had the black plastic bit off before, was suprisingly good behind there!
I decided to fit it to see what it looks like and how it fits etc..
Im still deciding if i should spray it body colour or maybe gloss black like the roof?
For now il leave it untill i decide!

Yes Jimmy, im swaying towards gloss black. Was looking at it on the car and it follows the lines of the roof and will brake the blueness up abit.

glad you're pleased with it mark!
i was paranoid it might get damaged in the post etc
i think gloss black would look sweet (to match the roof)

Car looks fantastic, if only i could get mine upto that standard ... Im just wondering how easy was it converting over to the multi point 1600, as im looking to swap my 1.2 for a 1600 8 valve soon, but unsure about how involved the wiring is?

12valver, try Jamsport's website and give them a call - www.jam-sport.co.uk they did the work on it.
corsa120 and Firstate88, they are Corsa C GM flat blade wipers.
New update.
The fuel pump on my car packed up last month, to get at it part of my false floor had to come out!
I then realised it was mega heavy and partly because it was done about 3 years ago when i was abit clueless lol.
So my task the other week was to reduce the weight and make it a little bit different and easier to take out when i have to.
Once i got it out i then noticed how rusty the wheel well was after the fire had bubbled the paint up and it had started to rust again! I set about doing this aswell!
Pictures should tell the story.
Oh, it sounds much better too which is a bonus!
Very heavy
Rust!
All waxoiled up, not pretty but it should do the job to prevent more rust!
Where the amp is going.
All finished! Im quite happy with it tbh.
Gave the car a full polish the same day as i hadnt done it since last year.
