Bonnet is just plain wrong, but can't knock the wheel choice.

Wheels are nice but wrong colour for the car.

Nice brakes and clocks but the whole car is let down by the really gay exhaust IMO

Lose the dodgy rears clusters and wing mirrors and itll be spot on IMO

Yeah wing mirrors! Forgot about those! They are going in the bin soon as I can be bothered to go to the scrappers and find some standard ones.

As said, car one belonged to smoebody called Amy, part of the cars identity, so I've kept it on. Means nothing to me.

Bonnet will probably go down, and the tape will peel off easy enough! Its aubergine under that.

Don't see how anybody can not like the exhaust? All corsa's look wrong IMO on the back end, as the exhaust just pokes out on one side. This keeps the cars lines nicely. I used to hate it before. It must be a Sheffield thing, as I can think of 5 Vauxhalls our way with it done.

Anybody got a picture of these other clusters? Not had these too long anyway?

Fad - what would you of done the wheels? If anybody does me a decent photoshop I may change them as they are off to be powder coated.

Wing mirrors are deffo going (thanks fat_rew for remindnig me lol) and bonnet is going back down. Exhaust stays!

I would do them a real glossy black as it would suit the Aubergine paint. Another alternative which may seem odd maybe a shade of deep deep purple almost same colour as the car...seem it done on a black 200SX before and looked quite nice?

Those MHW's look nice. When the car is done I may invest!

Fad - its mental you said that! The Mk3 Astra above has just done his wheels that VW colour that is like mine but more purple, along with it blending into the bottom part of his car. Looks immense!!

Like this but the top of the car is black, and just where the skirts are it blends to this colour. With the MO's this colour too.

You mean Dale? He sold it some kid called Danny who now has a valver, and some wqhite 16" MO's on it. Also has flip paint, which is why we got our wires crossed!

Dale has a Lexus now I think?

love the car, keep it as it is, maybe except lights, the exhuast looks mental and maybe take the insulation tape off and keep it the original colour.

like mine

Yes I have 3 boxes, 2 clutches a flywheel and an ATB diff.

Sadly one box is in bits, one is on the kitchen floor, one is in the boot of the clio. Flywheel is in the post. Both clutches are at Rich's house, and I've lost my diff. Sure it will turn up! So in short got the bits but they are nowhere near the car lol
