Hmmm I doubt Ill do the number plate recess, I don't like the plate stick over just a flat area if you know what I mean!
Ooo don't worry George the rear is defently going lower it's just impossible to find the right rear springs :/ it looks more equal in person than it does in pictures! Erm well if I'm honest I'm not a hug fan with them just stuck on but this is the second time I've seen them smoothed into them and I really like it! But then I see fully smooth again and I like it!? :/ I don't know

Well took a drive down to Dover to pick up a couple of facelift bumpers so I can decide what I'm doing with them and have them painted up when I get everything colour coded over the winter! Never realised how hard it was to get corsa c bumpers that aren't cracked or smashed to bits

Not a huge update but swapped the rear bumper insert for the one from the other bumper for now as the scuff was annoying me
And finally found a set of corsa c 120s that I think fit the adjuster cup so I can finally get the perfect fitment on the rear
I'm aiming for something like this when they arrive (this was my 120 springs that I had from the b but were way too low it was actually sitting in the rim the other side
Thanks for reading

Just a little teaser as to what I'm working towards for 2014 trial fitted the 120s but obviously I haven't set it all up etc! Just ordered some camber shims to get the fitment on the rear as good as I can
Probably not to everyone's taste but hey ho!
Cars now in winter mode, raised it and popped the sris back on for now!
Need to order a couple of new tyres for the sris and got all the money put by for paint so won't be any huge updates untill the new year now :/
