Got it for £26, as far as i'm aware it's an official Opel/Vauxhall and irmscher spoiler as it's got a GM number on it, which is linked to an Irmscher number. Couldn't find much info on it though so could be wrong. As for the door handles, i've had the notion of spraying the black plastics (would save on back to blacking all the while :lol and have been debating keeping them the same colour. Colour coding them is always an option though, i've not got anything set solid in my head at the minute.

Spoiler has been fitted, and i tell you, what a 'mare it was. All sorted now though. Will get some pics when i can find a decent camera cos i'm sure you're all getting bored of the crappy phone pics by now . Also sprayed the wiper arms to tidy them up in preperation for the aero wipers as they were a bit rusty. Just need to find some corsa c smoked side indicators and a tigra scuttle for now.

Need to sort out my speakers too cos the front passenger side has blown and sounds proper crap. It is the autoleads 130mm speaker adaptors i need to fit different speakers right? And the speaker size is 165mm isn't it? Is there any trouble with fitting certain speakers with electric window models and stuff or is there no issues with interference between speakers and windows rails? Also, any recommendations for speakers? I quite like some JBL ones

Cheers FAZ hopefully have the speakers sorted soon-ish, the rattle of the broken cone's doing my head in >.< lol. 5 door meet sounds good too when/if everyone is up for it.

Hopefully i'll be able to meet everyone and stuff at PVS next year .

Anyway, went out and took a few snaps with my bro's camera earlier and got a few good ones so here they are

I'm sure you'll be kept up to date if the meet happens maberz

Cheers Richard seen your build thread, you've put a lot of work into yours, it looks like it's coming together quite nicely dude. and it used to have the square tip exhaust but the system was rusted to fuck and blowing so had to buy a new center section and just stuck my bro's old pea shooter on for now hopefully get a new decent exhaust when i have the funds/decide what sorta exhaust to go for lol.

Right, little pointless update. Got some new things - Leather gear and handbrake gaiter with green stitching. Post 97 boot lock surround. Steiny splitter off Dangsi on here, top bloke. Gotta colour code the boot lock surround along with my mirrors, scuttle etc. Also gotta decide what i'm gonna do with the splitter, it's been colour coded today as my dad thought i wanted it sprayed oh wells. Gotta get a post 97 bumper. Fitted the gear gaiter a treat, looks nice, havn't tried the handbrake gaiter, as i dunno how to do it. Any help? lol looks a right 'mere anyway.
