yeah, i've got a laguna splitter that came with the car but it seems impossible to get it to sit right with the bumper, so i might just get a standard one for the bumper

Thanks daz! Not got too many plans really, just want to get it running mint and get all the bodywork as close to perfect as i can. Then i'll get saving for a better exhaust (that doesn't blow) ha

Thanks everyone! I just stupidly went into my local Vauxhall dealer to look at those Corsa D Limited Editions... And now i want oneeee! £4000 swappage offer as well... I wouldnt want Vauxhall to get their hands on my Corsa but the £4000 is alot more than i could get for mine private

Right, this afternoon I've had the corsa up on a ramp at my brothers work to sort the exhaust out. It was blowing like mad on the front pipe where we snapped a bolt fitting a new pipe, got that drilled out, new bolt in and the result is no blowing! Sounds miles better than it did before. Not got any pictures of it because it's pretty boring really!

you have to own the car a year before you can do scrappage scheme anyway

Its a swappage scheme, not scrappage.. only need to own the car 90 days and only has to be over 7 years old
And fair enough SAS, you did keep it in good condition so i had doubts you'd of painted it like that ha. Yeah im definitely gunna look after it, goes really nicely with the new lump in it and if its ever going up for sale i'll make sure you get the first choice on it

Well i havent really had much chance to do anything with the Corsa lately due to working nights! Not nice. But I decided it was time to give it a wash for the first time in a while today, and my snow foam kit came today so it had to be done!
This isnt exactly much of an update, just a few more pictures of the car really
Before washing
Snow Foamed!
And finally washed and dried...
Not really got much planned for it any time soon, apart from the extremely annoying knocking noise coming from the exhaust on the rear axle!

Well i wanted to put the centre caps back on the wheels but i thought they looked a little plain, so i bought some vinyl badges off ebay which came today! So here we go... Dont be afraid to mock them if you want, everyone has an opinion

looks well mate, if it was mine i would de-wiper the rear, take the green off the wheels and get some smoked headlights, centre caps look good

yeahh, i was thinking of de-wipering the rear but i use the wiper quite a bit and i'd rather have it there, so im just going to clean up the rust and put it back on i think. smoked headlights are a future plan, when i actually have some money  ... but im glad someone else likes the centre caps! cheers pal

Wheels look a lot better with the centres, and the rim tape looks fantastic don't remove it. As you said though clean up the rust around the wiper arm and re-fit then get yourself a splitter for the front.

Thats the plan Jonny! I need to start rummaging round local scrap yards to find a standard splitter for it, i still havent found a way of getting the laguna splitter to sit well with the bumper unless anyone has any ideas?

You could try and smoke some headlights yourself mate and it wont cost much, easiest way is to buy 2 sets and make one pair out of the 2, ive just got a pair off ebay 2 mins from my house for £1.98! Lol
I know what you mean about needing the rear wiper, sometimes when its wet i wish i could wipe it, doesnt bother me as much now ive removed my rear view mirror! (It fell off actually )
