First up is my bad news. Took out the RS on Saturday to give the missus a driving lesson. Pulling into a space, she scraped the front lower spoiler on the kerb followed on by the front and rear alloys! Now I have a badly scuffed splitter and front alloy and a slightly scraped back one! 
Other than that, nothing is new,and after this don't think anything else will be! 
Selling wise. Not had any offers. So thats that idea out of the window. I love the power of my car, its just the looks that let it down. It's looking a bit battered at the moment!
The Corsa has been through a lot of changes over the last couple of weeks. The last year I have been thinking too much about the engine side of things and have let the bodywork get in quite a sorry state. This week, I have had the arches off and have re-painted them as a couple were starting to get a bit iffy. Have done a complete valet all over. I have refurbished the standard 14" alloys that came with the car and have primered them up ready to paint. Am thinking of spraying them a dark grey colour and using them for the drag strip. Obviously the tyres wouldn't be able to cope so have been looking into getting some good tyres for them. Probably gonna get some 185/60/14 Yoko tyres.
I have been spending the last few days going over and over the smoothed tailgate with a very fine sheet of paper. and have just started the spraying. Just need to know how the back window goes in so if anyone knows how to do this please tell me. I have ordered some sideskirts so they should be with me within a week or so but am still waiting to see if I can get a second hand Irmcsher rear bumper. If I don't get one in a couple of weeks I'll have to buy a new one. Wheels are sorted, not gonna say too much but they are gonna be 17's. Was going to go for 16's but thought fuck it as I can use the standard 14's for racing! 
So, to summarise. Within the next month or two my car should be fully kitted up for the first time. I'm not going to disclose anything else but all will be revealed around USC/Trax time!

Yeah, I really want to start getting it looking good. I'm fad up with it looking okay, want it to be a real head turner. Love the smooth boot. Just can't fit it until I get the rest of the bits.
