thanks Neil, the banging on the axle was sorted when I got the back box changed so it was done for an all in price of £175 which included:

Back box
Modified pipe to clear axle
labour
VAT.

It was all done by ExhaustsUK. Give them a bell if you're near and they will sort it for you, or you can try rotating the exhaust clamp to clear the rear beam.

Hope this helps

Not yet mate, my Toyo T1-Rs should be getting delivered and the tyres fitted on Sat this week.

Driving home from my girlfriends and one of the LEDs is flickering on and off on the speedo

Great, what a pain in the ass. So dash coming back out at weekend

It's a monumental pain in the ass

Very fiddly.

No way round it mate, they're some of the most annoying bulbs to change. Hopefully being LEDs they'll last a while

Cav GSI rims fitted today, wrapped in 195/45/15 Toyo Proxes T1-R.

Well impressed with them. Soooooo much better in every way than the ripspeed wheels

When the tyres were getting fitted, the guys couldn't find the center caps, I saw what they were attempting to do, which was fitting the ripspeed center caps to the cav alloys

I quickly rectified that one

Cleaned the car and went for a drive, enjoy the pics

Cheers guys

It's great having the perfect tyres size/offset combination.

My old wheels used to rub at the mere sight of a dip/speed bump, but now there is so much more clearance between arch and tyre and no rubbing

More than happy with the end result

Just need another passenger arch liner fitting now as it had to be removed due to the old wheels ruining it and much rubbing

Just a slight update, as some may know I cracked my speedo perspex cover. Being a corsa 1.6 Sport it had the tigra siver clocks fitted.

Well, I nipped up to the scrappy got myself a new cover off a non-sport corsa (Standard black facsia with bonded perspex) And got home and fitted it.

Looks quite nice the sport orange needles with the non-sport dial cover.

Just a small update, but thought I'd whack some pics up. Also sorted that flickering LED

Think I quite prefer the look over the stock sport clocks

Well, the V-grill was just not looking right so I fitted my slatted grill and gave her a wash as she was filthy:
