Cheers Danny Currently awaiting a genuine corsa bonnet being sprayed at the shop, as it currently has a crap copy bonnet on it for some reason. Rusty underneath near front grill also.

Getting that fitted next Sat. The car has come a long way since buying it in November last year and I'm happy with the progress so far

Loving this project! so simple but very effective Only thing i would say is it sits quite high at the back compared to the very front? Thought about going lower?

Thanks mate, a couple of people have pointed this out. If I went lower, it would be 90mm on the back and that would mean de-bolting the arches etc, so I'm just going to leave it as is.

Don't know mate, was just a PI suspension kit - 60mm that I had fitted. Not really noticed it till you guys pointed it out.

Ain't updated this for a while and decided to bump it from probably page 75

Washed and waxed the car, then went for a scenic drive

Next up is a semi flushed boot, watch this space

Thought about this but I prefer the ones fitted on at the moment, not sure I like the look of the arch going over the tyre wall.

MOT passing is always good

Post 97 or Irmy will both look

One is a little more harder to get hold of than the other but hey ho.

Looking forward to seeing the car with either options fitted
