Give them seats a really good clean and try to match the fabric from the back and I'd say they would look awesome

I got some goodies in the post today, cant wait to get them fitted, although as small as a opel grill and bootlock will be im sure it will make a hell of a difference!

Grill fitted months ago lol

bonnet (who done it) lip painted

hole in roof almost good as new

drive shaft is needing a wee repair...

took a break from the car and me and Kedowan decided to create a gokart lol.
got a set of steels from my mate at college and put some fresh rubber on them... this is how she sits now...

also machine polished half of my mums bonnet on her silver corsa c to see a difference between the both sides, this is the outcome...
