No the interior light doesn't have to be on.

Yeah i wired them up to interior light, mine had 4 wires, i guess 2 were for alarm etc so connected it to permanent live and earth.

Aww shucks guys, thanks!!

Took me ages lol, it came out a bit poo at first, a bit bobbly and matt, so i give it a quick rub with wet and dry - looked even more matt.

Got in work and used the polish on it and came up a treat.

Thanks to ChrisBoom for the tutorial!!

WHAT THE FUNK IS THIS I SEE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?





WOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Courtesy of Dave A at Vsport, Who I thouroughly(sp) recomend(sp) lol
Its a Bilstien kit which lowers 55mm fornt and 50mm rear

Didn't take long to arrive seeing as Dave had to order it from Bilstein.

We spoke on the phone a few times and he helped me with my queries etc. Top bloke

Well anyway, what you all been waiting for......















Next to the old ones



GET LOW


Rear




Springs we like!


What you reckon peeps!?!

Obviously those pics were just after I got home so still settling in but i am so happy with the ride height!

And it handles 1000 times better than before it honestly does, my last corsa was on 40mm PI Nova springs and standard shocks

I removed the rear bias spring so i don't lock up the rear and will be getting the tracking checked on the weekend.

Thanks for your time. Tom

looking good tom- the heated seats look excellent.
the rear numberplate light lense is what i need to be doing!!

with regards to black plastic trim, keeping them black is such a pain.
i have never used a heat gun.
i tend to use thick bumper black liquid or even shoe polish

keep up the good work man
