dont do the vents they look "gash" and will spoil the look of the car as its nice and subtle at the mo (the way it should be)
if your going for cav gsi alloys youve got to defo lower the car 60/65mm front and 90mm rear to pull them off...
just get some 90mm rear springs, change the profile on the tyres (195/45) and get a gsi spoiler..
it will look loaddds better if you do trust me.......im a doctor lmao

Lol... but the vents aren't like chavvy vents or anything are they, they will be subltly in the bonnet, and the same colour as car lol... I think they will look good  ... Well Ill see what it looks like with 60mm drop all round first, then when I start driving it, get it slammed more if need be eyy... Spoiler from a corsa sport came today at long last... It's in white so gonna get the lad doing the vents to do that at the smae time...
Edit:
The bonnet needs painting at the front anyway, this is one reason for doing it... What about one vent on air filter side, and then bad boyed??/

Pics of spoiler that I recieved today...
Also got a new head unit...not expensive but it'll do for now lol, my 6x9s weren't so bad after all, they sound shit hot with this head unit, even standard door speakers sound better!
Right... Now that I have bought some cali leathers, are these the terminals for switches for heated seats?? And if your car has these does it mean that the plug is under the carpet already??
They are circled lol, but you may not be able to see it!!

Well, yesterday went for my clibra leathers... Was in Sheffield at 8 to pick them up lol... When I got home, lowered front of car...
looks twice as good now!
And today I fit my leathers after cleaning them and applying leather feed s**t... Only fronts though for now!
Before:
During:
After: 
Was very very awkward to do but glad I got them! Got all plugs for heated seats together, just need to get some switches now!
Abd before anyone asks, my car isn't stolen lol, with no casing on ignition, was on with something else...

Well I recieved my wheels from corsa333 on here yesterday, aren't happy at all... Basically I paid for these...
And recieved 4 of these... Freshly painted (very lightly), one has a puncture and curbing marks have been filled (roughly)
This isn't the worst part which is filled but you get the idea...
Trial fit... Looks like a monster truck haha... Front wheels are like 5mm away from arches... So getting tyres removed next week, sandblasted and painted and then some 195/45s whacked on! These wheels will be mine forever! lol, I will have so much in them for cav GSIs!
And yes, the silver bit at the top of the front wheel is where he has "missed" when spraying them!!
Good news is that I recieved switches for my heated cally leather today, so fitted them to make sure the seats work... And do they lol, gets rather warm too!!
Just need the surround with the switch holes cut in it to neaten it up...
Car's going into body shop tomorrow, getting astra vents put in bonnet, rusty bit at front of bonnet painting, spoiler painting and fitting, and also where the doors have been bent back and paint has cracked, it has gone rusty...

Cheers guys, I'm kinda thinking of a different colour, as they need doing properly anyway... What you think??? Back to standard silver?? Would look clean...
I paid £170 for the wheels! but it's ok, live and learn, especially not to deal with that prick again! lol
