Yeah I think it does look better too, only thing is it looks like every other Corsa now though :/
And yeah, the rocker definitely needs done now! Looks even worse now with the CC bumper  Might bring it down to work this week some day and get it done, will the engine be ok sitting with no rocker on though for a while?

You would say that since yours are black, I'm sorry I betrayed you  TBH mate, it was finished a long time ago, everything I'm doing now is just spur of the moment things. When I finished the conversion I was very short on cash so couldn't afford to put it on the road. Now I'm in work, can afford the insurance but I'm just being lazy about putting it on the road now Today was the first I gave it any attention in about 2 months

Cheers mate. I don't really have plans as I just buy stuff randomly when I see it and think, ah that would look nice on my car
But if theres anything I would like to do its get the engine bay tidier, coilovers and get my side skirts painted and fitted. As and when this will happen is any ones guess though as I don#'t have much time for it lately. Just going to get it on the road for now and see how things pan out

Oh no, parents informed me tonight there moving house in a week. Talk about short notice eh? So now I have a week to get my car insured, get it into a fit state for MOT and hope to god it passes. All in between working hours This should be fun!
What needs to be done, first list I've wrote and didn't realise I have this much to do!
Buy and fit battery.
Buy and fit number plates
Flash ECU for fault code
Headlights aligned, plus need secured at the bottom.
Wheels balanced.
Tighten suspension top mounts.
Bleed brakes again.
Disguise rust hole in wheel arch some how?
Rear reflectors for boot
Fix side repeater
Fill window washer bottle (I would probably forget if I didn't type it )
Clean ICV
Change oil
Fit wipers
Think thats it!
And a little catch up of a little I done ages ago and forgot to update,
Got a new badge on my steering wheel as mine was missing
Wired up the indicators in my headlights, originally had some 501s wired up but they flashed too fast, as if there was a bulb out, after a lot of head scratching and help fro JamXE on here I bought some motorbike bulbs and holders, and now they flash perfectly Had to extend parts of the loom too as some plugs wouldn't reach!
501s that wouldn't work,
And the new ones that work perfectly, BA9S iirc?
And working, look dull in the pic but there good and bright
Another I had to do was find a nice place for my ignition coil, and me being my usual picky self din't want it in sight
So I came up with this,
And c an't be seen with the battery in place 
Thats it for now, should have a big update during the week!

I will be welding it at a later date, just don't have time too squeeze it in atm , duck tape though? will they not just peel it off and see the hole? A lad came into work the other day looking for a quick fix as his car was in for an MOT, so we quickly chucked some Isopon into into and they failed it!

They are not allowed to remove anything from the car, although his test sledge hammer may go through it lol, put something solid in there that cant move or push about etc and some black tape over it may not see it then.
