I never made a project thread for it. Lol been on here for ages and owned it 18months so dont know why i never made one. Lol. I had all my pics saved on photobucket but never got round to making one. Cheers for qll the positive feedback. Cab slabs are only on in the winter months to save the Twists. Especially with it snowing,dont want to slide out and bend one of the twists as i wont be able to replace them. The twists will be refurbed as soon as ive got a job, as i dont want to spend my redundancy getting them refurbed. I sound tight dont i? Lol And also i dont really want to do any more mods to the car as i love it as it is. I just want to tidy it up to near new condition and keep it that way and enjoy using it.

Funny you should say about some smoked side repeaters.lol ive actually bought 3 different sets and every time ive tried fitting them the bloody clips have snapped off them. So i gave up. I WILL find a decent set that will fit without snapping. And im seriously in two minds wether or not to debage it.

Right just a small update. I have fitted a tigra scuttle panel that im sorta happy with.lol it looks like someone has tried to back to black it very badly so its patchy. Secondly ive fitted new arms and bosch wipers i bought off someone on here. No caps to cover bolts and the wipers are different lengths??? I always thought corsa had the same length wipers. My old ones were anyway and these new ones i cant seem to get to sit right. Now for pics

Before

After

As you can see no caps(well i tried to fit an old one). And the wipers dont really sit right??? I can see its gonna bug me, anyone else have this problem???

The right hand wiper blade sits against the left wiper blade. Just my old wipers didnt sit like that as you can see in the before pics. Prob just me being funny but as i have said the new wipers are different lengths which shouldnt be. Might try my old wipers for now and see if i can get them to sit better

So where are the wiper arm caps??? I cant get anymore unless i buy complete arms which makes it pointless me buying these ones off you!!! And the two wipers are different lengths. Ones 18" and the others a 20" which is causing the problems. They should both be the same length at 18". Its ok though as its gonna cost me another £10 for another 18" blade to match. Might as well have just got the wiper arms and blades myslef off ebay.

Im getting a bosch one to match from a local and rip off motor factors to save waiting for postage. Lol i actually got the last pair off ebay cheap and they was crap. The little covers that go over where the blade attaches fell off when i washed it and snapped.

Not really an update, just ive sorted the problems with the wipers. The new arms i bought seemed to be different lengths and i put them on the wrong sides.lol I was under the impression that because the wipers were the same length the arms would be too. Haha lesson learnt. Also is anyone interested in buying my MHW's??? Im going back to the standard rears and selling the slabs off it to pay for my twist reps to be fully refurbed. Id rather have my twists all fresh and back on instead of having the smoked mhws. May have a plan for the standard rear lights to make them a bit different.

Small update. I was advised to get some paint and tint my side repeaters instead of buying cheap crap side repeaters off ebay. So i tried it out. Heres some before pics

Heres the paint i used to do them

Heres after only one coat,but they still loooked too orange

And heres them finished after about 4 coats in total

They still flash fine both day and night so im happy as it only cost me £3 to do it instead of £10 for cheap crap off ebay that would have broken
