that looks awesome mate, wish i would've done that to my old black corsa

i'd say yes to the pressed paltes with no logo on the side and no screws in them.

also, have you thought about a nice shiny exhaust?

Cheers guys! means alot!

The tyres are the skinny 195/40 profile already! and the exhaust- full magnex-does come up nice and shiney (just needs a good wash) gets dirty tooooo quick! what would you reccomend in cleaning the exhaust with?

Hopefully Sunday will be good weather and a marathon clean will be in order. I have some Dodo Juice Wax ready!

and opinions on having the german labeled pressed plates? put ill probably go for the non-badged.

Cheers Andrew! Yeah, cage was well worth the money!, looks alot better in the flesh though.

And front springs are g-max 60mm, but always have seemed to be alot lower than that.

Cage was 450ish! but that price includes a rear strut brace - plus the one i had was the dearest finish (stainless steel) and thickest size (52mm), so you can get it alot cheaper than that price!

Would deffo reccomend them! Its one guy in his garage that builds them! top guy! even fitted it for me for little cost!

Prices are all on the website - http://www.mpsperformance.co.uk/index.html

Decided to give the car a wash today! needed it desparetly! Focused most of my attention on the wheels as they hadnt been full on cleaned since Trax07.

Weather changed for the worse just as soon as i got the polish and dodo juice out! but decided to take some pictures anyway, and its come out pretty well- therefore will be posted upon here.

Waxing/Polishing will just have to wait for another day soon.

And Sorry for the amount of similar pictures ,just couldnt decide which ones to keep and trash.

Yeah that SHOULD be going on within March/April. Just waiting for better weather to arrive first.

Other than that cams will be purchased very soon, and will be having a trip up to jamsport for fitting and mapping! (cant wait)

O and cheers for comments jake & jay! much appreciated!
