I hope your bonnet will be secure without those extra straps at the front.
I think the bonnet pins were fitted too close to the edge on the fibreglass one and wind lifted the front up where the normal catch would keep it down, i had the fit those extra straps to stop it lifting and flapping up/down.

I WILL post things soon, keep forgetting.


Yea i did consider this mate but the carbon bonnet seems more sturdy than the fiberglass 1. I wanted to use the same hole on the front panel rather than drilling some new 1's. We'll see how it is.

Cheers matey no rush, better than throwing them away lol, im keeping a folder of all history/ recipts etc

Yea they are a bit pants tbh, i gave them a quick spray of black and fitted new nuts and washers to tidy them up a bit. There also a pain to get equal but i got there in the end lol.

Nice bit of progress to report now lads, My lower bumper grill came so got that fitted



followed by the badgeless grill and stumpy plate



The corsa then went to be tracked ready for its mot, Odd wheels at this stage due to white 1 being damaged and tire on black wheels fooked.





Then it went to be Mot'd as it had expired. it passed with a bit of help here and there . Heres it parked up with my brothers lil Nova





Then sorted my tires out so i had a matching set of black cesaros and fitted my final peice to the puzzle





And finally heres a pic with 1 of my mates arden corsa



Cheers for looking lads, im going out to play in it now

Update then lads, been a while.

Had to buy some new poly front arm mounts as the accident streched 1 of them, caused car to pull really bad to 1 side under acceration. Also bought Plast X, a cutting polish to remove fine scratches out of my poly windows.





I then got a couple of new piks while out on the road











Then finally my replacement wheel came.





And finally i bought myself a set of Wilwoods





More soon people, getting ready for V.B.O.A and TVL
