Cheers Lil_g
Seats are sold so not gonna happen now 
As for getting your wallet out and sending Dimos some money he sent me a picture of some of my new parts just been finished and well I'm glad I dusted my wallet off they look stunning!
No pics until they show up at my house though 
Sent Dimos some more £££ for a few other parts we have come up with this week.
Trial fitted the flush boot cover, now removed again to wire up my solenoid!
Also spent all day making card templates ready to cut my MDF for the boot!
Got a few new shiny bits coming in the post too,
Chrome Boot Catch,
Wondering if to buy chrome bonnet spring and cable catches etc or not?!
Chrome wheel nut covers arrived hide those nasty looking nuts:
Another present arrived from www.irmscher-bits.com
Wanted them for ages, tried to find steinmetz pedals, but apparently no longer get manual ones anymore
So irmscher it was!
They even sent me the Corsa B brochure, so thats going in the folder with all the reciepts etc 
More progress this week, should have the boot all fitted out with MDF, then make them fit as snug and tight as possible before getting the alcantara treatment.

Decided, the red bull can attempt that was on my ignition coil either needed removing or doing right so...... I had a better stab at it:
Also treated it to a wash, then another wash as I drove it 10miles and got it dirty
So then I decided a quick DoDo - Orange Crush was in order,
And a better picture to show my black roof, one year on and never gotten a decent above picture!
Got the main bit of my install sorted out now, just the top and end pieces of the side panels to cut out, then it will be ready to trim and re-fit!
Will just be one amplifier, sitting on the back piece to power the front speakers, maybe the rears also haven't quite decided!
fitted the irmscher pedals last night but they pissed me off so much I didn't bother taking a picture, about 2hrs and 3 people the bolt holes are in the silliest of places ever!
Dimos will be sending out the new carbon stuff this week hopefully so won't be long till all thats fitted

Spent all weekend fannying on with my boot solenoid, wired it in on Friday night roughly and been hidding the wire thru the car today, then wiring up my switch.
Didn't want to have to drill anywhere on the dash to put the switch and my original plan wasn't going to work, so I had a brain wave
Never use my cig lighter so...
Take a part one cig lighter, and cut away the green illuminating section:
Place switch inside the illuminating part, and screw the back on:
Then glue the whole thing into the cig lighter hole:
Nice and hidden away, but also fairly neat I thought!

Finished up the boot today, should be strating to trim it in alcantara tomorrow and next few nights:
Spent my time, getting all the edges flush with the boot plastics so should look fairly good when finished, can also spy the new chrome boot latch in that picture
Airdam and a little paint freshen up will be done start of March, can't wait for the new bumper

Pretty much finished trimming up the boot panels, so they will be getting fitted this weekend!
Also plan to take all the wheels off, clean them, waxoyl the arches, paint the calipers red, drums black!
Best bit of all, there is a huge box from Greece sitting waiting for me at home when I finish work, can't wait to see these parts for myself!
Dimos if your reading this THANK YOU!!!
(pics to be added asap)

How much extra weight does the boot build add quite a bit id think?
And also how do you access your spare wheel lol

When it was all taken apart to trim, you can lift it all in one hand, very light only 6mm MDF to keep weight down!
Spare wheel.....
Its not in there yet, but I will be cutting the bottom section and placing a piano hinge on it so the floor lifts up to get the wheel out!
Haven't had a spare in for 2 years so no rush!

Where do I start
Little box shows up from Greece...
Slice it open in a mad rush to see whats inside...
Everything neatly wrapped in cling film, I can now finally see where a large chunk of money went from my bank account:
Empty it all out onto the floor got more excited opening each piece
Air Circulation Slider:
Window Winders:
Rear Ash Tray:
Passenger Side Jesus Handle:
Rear Seat Hinge Covers:
Front Seat Hinge Covers:
Inner Door Vents:
Gear Stick Console:
Pair of Sun Visors:
And just to finish it all off, a lovely bag of Chrome Wing Bolts:
Another parcel was sent out today from Dimos, and should arrive next week with a few more goodies in
I can't thank you enough for sorting all these parts out and also putting up with my constant pestering of "where are they, where are they"
Over the moon with them all and shall be carefully fitting them this weekend, so more pics to come once in place
