Facelift bumpers will look good. Will need colour coding though to match the arches and skirts!

Going to have arches black. Reason for this is, I'm swapping front bumper for standard new shape one. Which will obviously have black on it. It will look a lot cleaner, and won't cost much at all.
Today I decided to fit the new wing. Since getting car I've noticed cobwebs everywhere! All around the engine, every single nook and crany had them.
When removing wing I found 3 spiders nests :laugh:

Wing off (same as removing Corsa b, but has 2 extra bolts

Old v new



Was hard to shit how shit old one was in comparison due to sunlight and iphone camera.


And whole panels paint was just lifeless.
Colour is same but you can see diffrrwnce due to shine, going to buy black wheel arch for it.

Probably stolen and sat in a travellers camp for a year. Usually what cobwebs are a sign of.

The wing sits well. It's just something to pick at from behind a screen, to try and get a reaction.
Bored of it, so just brush it off.

If that's directed at me, it was a genuine question. It looked miles off so I was curious if you fixed it. I've seen worse on here before that people would then claim was sitting perfectly.

Fair enough, we've had many disagreements before so assumed you were stirring.

I adjusted it after the picture a bit, I can't notice anything now, but then again I wasn't exactly staring for it. Will have another look when get new bumper and other wig fitted

Few more bits just arrived so set about fitting.

This cost £4 off eBay, and had stereo lying about anyway.







If I was keeping car? I'd probably add cup holder and paint whole thing to match in.

Last one must have not sat properly either, hence the woodscrew in it. Probably had a bump and broke some plastic bracket.

I did think about that screw, but seems it was only holding the fog light bracket in place, and not actually going into
The chassis
