Looks sweet Nath!
Makes me want to do my speedlines black!
Might go for the full stealth look... black speedlines, tints, gloss black skuttle etc...
Dan would probably kill me.

So ive been having a few issues with the new brakes . Firstly last weekend i couldnt get my adaptors off .
Managed to sort them out this weekend and get the old brakes off . Mounted the new discs to the car and placed the carriers on , done them up tight and thought hang on this aint right !!
The carrier is fouling against the back of the disc weirdly . Now ive been assured that ive been supplied with the correct carriers and i even tried it with the new and the old discs !! So ive completely ran out of ideas . Spoke to WarrenG and he suggested bolting it all up tight , calipers and pads included and that may stiffen and straighten it up enough to free the disc .
Anyway i took a couple photos on my phone to how what im on about .
Anyway im going to try it again next weekend . If anyone can spot anything ive done wrong in them pictures please tell me .
In other news i went and got a few snaps today as the sun was shining .
And one we took the other night with my freinds camera and his wireless flash tripods !
In other news ive been buying a few new cleaning bits , some to do with the correction when i do it next month and some just to add to my collection . Tonight ive bought :
Chem guys 4" Black Hex-logic finishing pad
Chem guys 4" White Hex logic pad
IronX
Bilt Hamber Clay
Auto Finesse Tripple
Auto Finesse Mercury
More Microfibers
Wirewool
Zaino Z7 shampoo
Valet pro advance neutral snow foam
5 x Auto smart spray bottles
So will have a nice parcel some time in the week .

just done some research and found this on ccuk
To upgrade to 1.8sri brakes u need, carriers, calipers, discs and pads.
To upgrade to 280mm u need, meriva 1.6 16v carriers, calipers, discs and pads,
To upgrade to 308mm u need, corsa vxr, astra gsi or turbo, astra h 1.9cdti calipers
And discs and pads, but u need meriva vxr carriers.
The 280mm and 308mm use the same caliper just differnt discs pads and carriers.
Astra 2.0 and vectra v6 brakes fit a corsa b, I wudnt bother using them on a c as there old.
so it sais you need corsa vxr calipers discs and pads and meriva vxr carriers to upgrade to 308mm on corsa c
