That looks soo much better on those wheels. Your car is getting much better.

I'd leave them the colour they are i think.

CDX rear will look cool, dont see hardly any around.

Thanks for the positive reaction guys. Although I cant help but think I now need to put some dtm mirrors on instead of the carbon mirrors?

Jay- I am in talks with my brother to steal his rear bumper! Hehe.

Looks like my exhaust has given up. Need something loud, powerful, and mot-able.

Answers on a postcard!!

very nice, i would say maybe a custom rear of some sort!

also i duno if its just the pics but the mirrors i like but the baseplates look a dodgy fit, maybe trim those so they fit better?

also black wheels or anthracite would look amazing!

Cheers mate. Baseplates do need trimming to fit perfectly. And the wheels are possibly going to be sprayed to match the body colour.

Well last Sunday I went on the rollers with the SE lot at engine advantages. Was a great day and my car made 110.4bhp. And 98.5lbft torque. Which I was happy with. It was last rolling roaded last November when it made 98.7bhp. And since then I've added the mantzel inlet.

Anyways heres the vid. Thanks James.

UPDATE:

Decided to keep the corsa couldn't bear to see it go!

So I decided to treat it after the mot,

First up was the aeroquip bonnet catches. Me and my mechanic fitted these one tuesday evening. Took about 2 hours to fit. Bloody fiddly!!






Next up was a new spare wheel as I haven't had one in the car since I fitted the bbs'. SO went to the scrappy and found a vauxhall fit wheels with great tread on it, and then sprayed it black to make it look better.



Then whilst browsing on ebay I stumbled across a lovely carbon gearknob-




That is all for now.

James- Cheers mate. Still want 'THE' rear bumper.Just need the money and the carbon boot group buy to happen so I can change it all at the same time.

Mobby- Thanks mate.

Scott- It definately not a ripspeed one!! How dare you! Lol. I got it on ebay. Just search on there. Top seller too.

Managed to get some gear and handbrake gaiters made in silver and black to math the theme from a guy on ebay. Also had some fitted carpets custom made again in black and silver. They look great. Will get pics up soon.
