Hi-ya peeps,
I know you all like your corsa's very much and so do I...
What I want to know is..
Are many of you into the styling and modification of your engine bays?
i.e stainless battery covers, heat shields etc.

We mod our cars to look good on the outside and the inside, but what about our bays?
To get our cars featured in mags like Max Power these days they ask if we've done anything engine styling wise.

I'm currently trying to get my business off the ground here in S. Wales where I hope to cater for our engine bays, such as stainless steel items, coloured hosing, chrome bonnet lifters and a metal polishing service.
It's at the very early stages and just wanna know if there's interest.

I'd be interested in metal polish I think, and maybe some covers for brake resovoir etc.

funny enough I passed there Friday night and seen a few people there and was going to pop in and hand some flyers out but I was late enough allready.
My bro lives in Risca and he pops down there sometimes with his mate who drives a purple pug306 cabriolet...
He handed some flyers out down there for me the other week but didn't get much interest from whoever was there that night.....
I took a gamble and gave up my full time job for this and have a young daughter and partner to provide for....
So I have to make it work,
if you could just spread the word around about what I do then you've helped me as much as I ever could ask for!

Took me a bit longer then expected cus all 5'ft 5" of me and all alone (aaawww!) had to strip, rebuild and move into my new workshop to resume service....after I caught up with orders that were left waiting....sorry you know who!
