calibra leather seats at front?? and leave the rears sport?
You do realise you can fit calibra leathers to both the front and back
Like said new bonnet, nice set of rims with some slammage and that would be a good start.
Im not normally a fan of cav slabs, but I do like them when people paint them black with a red lip, could do some with a blue lip and it might look good

do you realise the trouble to get them in the back lol, i cba swap the leathers round, tjust loked as if there would be flabby bit on the edge of the seats, so got the sport interior at the back and it looks good 
yeah i have seen the cav slabs with the red lip and it does actually look nice, lol, contradiction i know lol, looks a nice car tbh mate, i love aren blue, such a nice colour

Having calibra leathers at the front and sports seats at the back just looks wrong, looks like a half assed job.
Ive fitted 2 sets of calibra leathers to 2 Corsa's, I took my time on the back seat and it came out perfectly.
So as long you take your time then it can be done, but seriously... calibra leather fronts with sport rears?

I think it looks nice dude and other people said so, so what did you do with the holes where the seat belt buckles go, on the calibra seats there are two holes but on thw cprsa seats there aint???

I used the calibra base seat, it does fit, loads of people on here strip the top part of the calibra one and fit it onto the top part of the corsa one.
And the calibra base does fit in, you have to lightly force it in but it does fit.
Myself and 2 of my mates have had calibra leather in our Corsa's, and used this exact method along with many others members on this forum.
If you think mis-matched seats look good then fair enough but i dont.

well the only reason i picked the sports at the back is because it is black which goes with the front, if i left my old ones in, then that would look shit lol, so its better than that
