Thanks bud. I still haven't experienced the powerrr of the 1.6 properly yet. I only went about 20ish when i drove it Can't wait to see how quick it is though!
I've got the following problems to sort:
- Heater/blowers dont work
- Main beam doesnt work
- EML light came on when I got it out tonight so need to do a paper clip test to see whats cracking off
- Fuel gauge, rev counter and speedo don't work either
Plenty to keep me busy lol.

Yeah I got the fogs for it Faz, a brand new splitter as well
duncanpound, lol glad to hear it mate Don't think i've seen pics of your car. I'll keep my eye out for a project thread
Kev, ahh if he did mean the upper grill yeah thats staying black
This morning I went back down to Vauxhall and managed to sort my dispute with them over my GSI bumper clips. So on went the bumper I've just put the actually bumper on for the minute until the MOT is out of the way. Mainly because the fogs arent wired up and I dont want my nice new splitter getting scuffed to feck when they try to get it on the ramps etc
Love it tbh
MOT is booked for the 26th May as well! That gives a a couple of weekend to make sure everything is working as it should
