will be some updates this week lads. Just smoothed off my fuel flap, got a new sub, and I'm currently in the middle of doing black roof lining 
That's been a right mission! used around 2.5 litres of matt black on roof lining lol, but looks cool!
On the look out for a tigra scuttle too! 
edit: Also have 6000k hids now

Tried my mates softstars on but decided I didn't like them, and they scrubbed like a mother anyway lol, what you think?
Smooth fuel flap which I did myself, and was quite pleased as it's the first bit of smoothing I've done 
got some black door cards as I've done roof lining black, and also, chrome vectra door handles
black roof lining  (mind sunroof winder and surround lol, haven't done that yet!)
Sorry for crap pic, hard to get a good one lol
decided to put a rear interior light in while roof lining was down!
got a white LED plate light, looks cool as!
wash, t-cut, red t-cut then a meguiars 3 step jobby from halfords, doesn't show the redness really lol, looks lovely now. Also notice the colour coded door handles And astra mk4 side reps.

Forgot to say, MOT and tax today, went straight through MOT without an advisory! Happy days!
Checked oil last week, and didn't even come over the dipstick.
Valve stem oil seals leak a little bit as you get a small plume of smoke when you first start it, but not bad enough to warrant no oil at all lol
Any suggestions?
Cheers guys!

yeah mate, they're 16s with 195/45/16 tyres on. Maybe if I got some 195/40/16 tyres on some it may not rub. But they scrubbed bad when turning etc.

looks smart that, would fit a standard boot lock surround on though, looks silly gloss black when the trims normal..
also fit standard mudflaps on the front, and take the sport badges off.. sorted..

Cheers for comments, appreciated as always
Not loads to update but a few small things.
Got car beached between two potholes full of muddy water other week, ending up with the car looking like this! Lol, looks rather sorry for itself! 
Caught the cam belt just in time as it started to give up the ghost! So me and Dad got that sorted one night in the dark and rain lol
Half and Half wash pics
Mk 4 boy, I realised the bootlock looked silly, so I got another one and did it red to match the door handles, and did a black badge to finish it off , much better! can be seen in above pic. Also, have a set of front flaps in the shed waiting to be fitted. But I need to fit a new arch on one side before I do because it's loose at the bottom and would just get pulled off with mudflaps on. Watch this space! lol
Pic of white LEDs in dash.
Found some calibra leathers in mint condition for £100, already on corsa subframes so I couldn't resist!
Set about stripping it out to fit everything back together properly. Was half tempted to strip it at this point as it looked quite cool lol. Door cards were already removed from when I did roof lining, was too awkward to get back in with rear seats in etc.
Rears in.
Half & half
All done. All connected up and all work fine , Just need surround from Vauxhall for switches
Comments good / bad appreciated as always

cheers, I'm thinking about getting some GSi rep skirts in the same texture/colour as the arches. Had a photoshop done a while back, I'll post it up at some point. Look mint
