Snap of the new coils and plugs I didn't upload lol
Also it was noticed by a mate s few weeks ago that the top tinted section of the rear lights on a vxr was a different shade on the o/s when I looked closer it looks like it's been replaced with a povo spec lamp and tinted with a spray !
So bought these

Yeah I didn't notice till my mate pointed it out and it's bugged me since lol, made me paranoid that it had had a bump so pulled all the boot trim out and looked for any signs and any signs of paintwork being done and there isn't so I'm guessing just a cracked light or something minor, new lights should be here today iv had a "attempted delivery" slip so should try again today I hope

i think the lower bit between the exhausts, that fake difuser looking thing should be done black. imho. looks a bit crap being red.

Agreed, been on the to do list since day 1. Now the mechanical/servicing side of things is boxed off I'll start doing more cosmetics, need to decide on the chrome boot strip black or red then that and the diffuser can go for paint.

For now until I lower it then I'll see how it looks without arch gaps, I fancy aftermarket wheels really but I need to find something I like first.

I'll see how it looks lowered but as I say I don't really like vxr wheels I need to find some after markets I like, didn't really like silver looked too standard, I want to go the red/black route

Not much of an update but my replacement rear light turned up cracked so they guy sent me another one which iv now fitted
And iv managed to crack one of the vauxhall chocolate alloys probably hit a leaf or something there the shittest wheels in the world, also jsut after I got rid of the silver set luckily managed to buy a spare but the car now looks like this
I'm gonna weld the cracked one up and use it as a spare, going to decide on weather to refurb these or just buy new aftermarket alloys as I don't know if I can be assed constantly having to weld them up

Only thing with aftermarket wheels they will be prone to crack easily too.
How about down grading to 18" wheels?

Thought about that but I sometimes think the 19s look small never mind the 18s lol
Aftermarket can't be as prone to crack as these surely? Vauxhall rims are chronically bad!
Saying that I don't wanna fork out and end up cracking new ones lol

18" Snowflakes look good on these after a suspension drop, don't look as small as you'd think. Failing that, set of pro race 1.2s in silver would look awesome.
