(personal opinion) i wouldn't put a gsi kit on keep it how it is, if you still want gsi then top halfof the bumper black rest green
and how come you need to fit a 5 speed box?

Looks like a good place to start as any mate. Bonus with the lights as well.
I do agree with the horrid mesh, why didn't they do all of it for a start
A few small things and that'll be a top motor

i know thats what i was thinking with the mesh only reason i can think of is maybe too much hassle with the towing hook
cheers mate

Was at the scrapies yesterday and today,
Yesterday i was looking for a towing cover, checked all the corsas and they were all missing, then i thought to myself if i was loading a car with a smashed back window what would i do when i took the tomwing cover off? looked in the back and hey presto under the passenger seat was a brocade yellow towing cover for a very nice £1.15
Today i went to a different one and got myself; a punto rear wiper, tigra scuttle panel and a vauxhall ariel
pictures:
BEFORE:
AFTER:
havnt got round to fitting the scuttle panel, and today i bought some paint to do the towing cover but went and got the wrong stuff
Opinions? c&c welcome

Even though i should be spending money on important things such as a 5 speed gear box, i keep buying different things, yesterday i purchased some rather nice leather seats cheers mac1976
Have a rather serious tyre issue atm being that the front drivers side outer edge is completely bald and the inside edge of the passengers side is really deeply worn in, so 2 days ago i ordered some uniroyal rainsport 2's so hopefully they will be here soon
Tomorrow if all goes to plan i intend on preping the towing cover i got the other day and spraying it, fitting my tigra scuttle panel, removing the shite lower grill and replacing it with a nice standard one and hopefully fitting my seats update tomorrow
