It's cool bud, pictures are up for everyone to comment on and all comments are welcome (plus you comments not negative anyway)
Not going to be one of these people that get buthurt because they get a comment that's not just saying looks good.. Unlike some people I've seen on Facebook today

6/7/15
Wasn't really planned this updated but ever since I was originally looking for my Calibra leather seats I always thought the cream ones looked cool, never saw any for sale though so just bought some black ones locally. Anyway I still had the search for Calibra leathers set up On my eBay so I'd get notifications when new ones got listed.. Few days ago I got one and had a look and found these..
Mint cream Calibra leathers, they have been re-trimmed in the Original cream colour.
I already know some people will absolutely hate them , but I had to have these.
Only bought them this afternoon so haven't got them yet

Won't go with the arden blue/gloss black you got going on with the outside imo but I've seen a few cream interiors and they look clean

Not as bad as I thought tbh, my opinion will probably change and I'll love it when you fit them

Seats arrived today. Very well packaged....
As I said before.. Not everyone's taste, but I love them. Think the cream goes so well with Arden blue.
Drivers bolster, (side you get out)
Hopefully get them in this weekend, as long as the weathers not too bad.

Never been a fan of these leathers at all but they don't look in bad nick at all

Full Calibra leather 50/50
I don't have any cream rears yet but I will be getting some, looking for some mint ones but may be a challenge to get just the rears.
And yeah Ian, they are good condition feel so much more comfy than my black ones.

I could just take them out until I get cream ones but I don't like having no back seats, hopefully wont be too long before I get some anyway

Put together a to-do list for the Corsa.
-New rubbers for the backbox - its hanging too low, want it right up against the bumper
-Fit the cream gear gator once its arrives
-Fix drivers interior door handle (rod keeps popping out from clip)
-Paint the drums black
-Gloss black Tigra scuttle panel
Gave the car the usual Sunday clean, fun stuff.
Rare pics with bonnet open

You can actually Polish that rocker cover up. Takes a lot of effort though. I started doing it to mine when I had a 1.2, looked alright.

Hmm, look good condition but I'm not instantly taken. Nice update anyway.
Buy yourself a battery bag too if you want to tidy the bay up a bit.

Good condition, not a fan of cream interiors though.
Drums should be first on that list

Any photos of it done? & Did you take it off to polish it?

What a difference that makes bay looks so much tidier than mine, I though of doing mine black with Opel spark plug cover.

Thanks
I was thinking of getting one of those, along with painting the battery tray

Yeah it's not for everyone, very pleased with the condition feel like different seats to the black ones I had in
List is no order really, just whenever I get round to them.. Probably take me as long to do the drums as it did to replace the number plates everyone used to love

Bought a private plate this morning.
Always wanted a private plate, and have been looking off and on for ages but have never found anything that resembled my name for sale.
But found this recently, wanted it as soon as I seen it.
anyway, here is the plate
