Nice that!!

I like the older shape sports now! Will be much better with the lights and washers sorted.

Lookout for a blueflame exhaust... they are pretty good!

Corsa 2.0 16v Vegas - Sold

Thanks mate.
Lights and washer jets are sorted already!

Blueflame exhaust?
Do they do manifolds aswell?

I'm inclined to do it, but not at the same time - Corsa stuff is so expensive compared to the saxo i used to have!

I've always found corsa stuff cheaper than stuff for my VTR ???

My leathers only take a few mins to heat up.

Ah nah like exhaust stuff, i struggle to get anything reasonably priced for this, the VTR stuff was cheap as!

Mine seem to heat up quicker now than they did when i first fitted them! lol

I found mine heat up a bit quicker than at first, mines sat in my room unused for 2 months and were unused for a while when i got them

Right..

Finally cleaned the car today, went and bought a new power washer

Changed from the start:

Std Rear lights back
Std Washer jets back
Calibra Leathers all in, switches in, just waiting on time to finish the rear seats and the bit of trim from vauxhall for around the switches.
A good clean
Plastics heat Gunned..
New splitter to replace the stolen one from the other week!
2 Brand New front Wiper arms
Flat Wiper blades all round
Clear side repeaters

Bought myself a heatgun last week, and after washing today, tried it out on the plastics..
WOW!

Such a difference tbh, I havent used the autoglym yet, though i have some here and may use it when i get the feeling back in my hands..

Only thing is, the handbrake cable snapped yesterday, and the exhaust is blowing at the front, possibly manifold - As much as i want a stainless one, they're so expensive!
Got the handbrake cables, both parts, just waiting on a mate fitting them!

Anyway, Here's the pics so far:

Thought about de-badging - Still undecided tbh
Tints - Expensive, and not sure if they'll look right
De Wiper - Again very tempted, only downfall is having a small gromet there.. lol
Wouldn't mind a full stainless system on it tbh, but its cost factor atm!

To use that centre section you need a Sportex backbox and apparently the centre box as well, and Sportex backboxes don't rate that well.
