new purchases bowled up



Compomotive M05 powdercoated white



took off my gsi bumper and fitted the fogs and splitter proply then added TOW sticker and a trial fit of tow strap see how it would look,

love it personally although i know not everyone will like it.

should i do 5 holes in the front number plate recess or not im very undecided




Another new purches, going to do the same style as my old ones with 1 inner lamp meshed and a foam filter in the other



stripped them down, set them up proply and sold on the inner lamps ordered mesh and filter







Finished result after the other bits came, i love them



Trial fit

Love some good progress. Like the tow strap but not a fan of the sticker, I think they point out the obvious abit much, it's not like someone will try to tow you using your wiper arms if it wasn't there

updates

i picked up some polly bushed bottom arms and painted them black





luckily i bought this last summer and never fitted it to the old corsa its a disk converted rear beam, i reconditioned it







again this is polly bushed and fully ground down and wire wheeled before rust treated and painted







right.... back to the welding.. little modification as i want all wiring compleatley hidden

i welded up rear light bung hole for numberplate





and the various holes from the old air conditioning box




painted and rear back together, tow fitted





Impact bar back on... keeps unneeded weight but serves a purpose so probably better to keep

finishing rails















munted seat up and realised id fucked up :/ id made seat exactly in centre of rails and when i sat in it to test it was 3 inches off centre from the wheel so i had to weld in some extra rails to adjust it, easy fix and looks better aswell as adding strength so its all good



painted up a bit at the front looked really good then fitted OMP boss kit













little gift showed up set of 5 carbon door cards, bloody mint! rare aswell



and back to painting, 3 rollered layers of hamerite and thinner mix

aswell as painting handbrake shaft, foot pedal backing and pedals black





inside fully painted
