thought it would be a little different than having a morrette headlight conversion. i bought some polo mk1 headlights from a scrappy near me, as they wouldnt be hard to modify so that they fit onto a corsa. i have some black ABS plastic to make the bckground for the lights- so you cant see the engine, etc, and will make it look neater. i will be purchasing some clear headlight protectors from Vauxhall, so that it keeps the curved shape of the headlight.

i got the idea from the calibra thunder saloon, which had seperate lamps under a perspex cover.

With the background for the lights, incorporate a cold air feed for your induction kit

its gonna be star silver, same colour as it was origionally. with black multispoke 15" alloys, yesh the wheels are a bit small, but need them small as i have some road legal semi slicks coming and need the handling and acceleration. this car is gonne be raced on hillclimbs and sprints.

i'll try and find some more pics.

i have sold the bad boy extended evo6 vented bonnet. the fibreglass one was £120 and is a LOT lighter than the origional. it also has baptive bolts so that it will fit on the origional hinges, but you have to use bonnet pins to lock it.

i have added more pics, so if you click the first link, then move left/right you can see the other pics
