well i finally got that horrible steering wheel and cover changed.

tooks some getting off but its there and a new gsi steering wheel now sits in its place



i also put my new MHW smoked rear lights on this evening thanx to mr marriott for selling them to me!





as far as im not concerned the car doesnt need anythin else doing to it in the near future. i think its now time to just keep it clean and enjoy the power the 1.2 lump has to offer while i sort out my new car

Thats looking class! Yeh the steering wheel is on bloody tight isnt it! I tried, but gave up and took it to a local garage in the end! All that needs now, is some clocks with a rev counter inside, outside is looking awesome

heres the rear lights durin the day. sorry about the crap photos but its a crap day here (more rain anyone?)









and here are a couple of the front end. not sure why but the camera is picking out the darkness of the bumper and u can see it propperly now





now for the rest of the day i need to dry the car off and get the G3 out again and get the roof shiny agen then a nice polish

i might be very tempted by a semi smooth boot but i need to find another decent reputable body shop near here to take it to as im in two minds about bodyshops atm after the consequences of my old gsi

In the mean time get a Fiat Marea Rear Wiper put on till you decide if you want a semi smooth boot as its much smoother than the standard Corsa one.
