Bought me self a digital camera in the sales and took a few pics of me car last weekend. Over christmas i managed to take a bit of paint off the arch while washing my car at a shell garage, something i never do. But i was bored one day and the consequences are below. But il get it repaired.
So here's a few pics of the car. nothing much has changed since trax except for ive got 2.0ltr brakes on it now.
Plans hopefully are to put a xe in it next month,
get coilovers and drop the rear as its sitting to high for 60mm
new exhaust system ( probably blueflame again with a round tail pipe )
re spray of boot & bonnet ( possibly bad boying at the same time )
possibly new front bumper.
There my plans, whether or not they hapen is another thing.
Any ideas welcome.....

That L-piece should be fairly easy, you could just take it off to paint it so the car could still be used while its being done.
The car looks awesome mate, To be honest I would leave it as it is, at least bodywise anyway.
Just the XE or LET now to finish it off!

car looks really nice.
IMO i think the side rub strips make the side of the car look too "busy" with the skirts also if u were to keep the front bumper, i think it would look better if the edges of the bumper near the wheel followed the line of the std bumper abit more to make it look less like an add on.

Just realised what James means about the bumper not following properly... mine was like Jame's i reckon if u lower the front a bit more that would sort that !!

cheers guys, yeh front needs to go lower, the xe will do that. if i was to change front it would only be for a irdam or like what stavs has. i prob will remove the bump strips now thinking about it.
i would love a let, think a intercooler poking out the front would look sweet.
antscorsa - that was the plan originally to have all the arches black like the corsa in total vaux this month but i didnt want to copy and wanted to be more individual but still conform if ya get what i mean.

absolutely stunning. would maybe get the boot semi smoothed and bonnet bad-boy'd, but looks good as it is, LET it as the front bumper would look sweet with an fmic behind it.
