foot wells were a bit tatty so decided to get some chequered plate and a foot plate...
wasnt too hard a job quick card template and a steady hand.also a quick tip i put rubber spacers between the plate and floor to reduce vibrations
also relocated fire exstinguisher

Didn't take the manifold off to spray it?

Love this car, would have loved to buy it. Just needs a bigger engine or some tuning and bodies

Don't bother with a GSi bumper, be like every other fucking sCeNe Corsa then CF cover looks smart, can't say I've seen one before.

Yes but it wouldn't look reyt, if it's a little cut up it will look like it's used. GSi bumper all bang tidy and shit will just look like a GSi with a full body graphics wrap.
