The following changes didn't happen in this order but im piecing together the images i have to give you an idea of where my car stands.

Braided Brake Lines

V6 Front Brakes with Fiat Discs.

Rear Discs

Morettes Front Lights

Irmscher Rear Lights

Corbeau Front Seats, Willians Harnesses

Momo Steering Wheel

Boot Build

PipeCraft Exhaust Being Made

Not a clear picture but one Black Roof

And Finally one X18XE1

And Fitted like a glove

Z18XE engine cover (early ones) is all silver, X18XE1 has the black side bit and throttle body cover.

Looks very nice though mate, how are you finding it with the 1.8 fitted? I'd like to try it if I had the money

Also what engine was it before?

That's strange

Engines that late should have the all-black cover as seen here:

nope my astra doesn't have that black engine cover, mine has the silver and black engine cover same as the one in the corsa, and mine is definatly a Z18XE, how strange is that

That really is weird

Maybe something happened to the original one so they just got what you have as it fit?

Who knows.

Its a XE1.

Sorry Mark looking for Vectra Sri Wheels, thanks for the offer though.

Little Update

Just got the car back, has been away getting some bits sprayed.

Arches, Tops of Bumpers and Morretes have been sprayed Gloss Black

Will try and get some more pictures of the car tomorrow.

Also i now own a set of cav slabs, so they will be getting sorted out.

Irmy Skirts will be getting fitted at the weekend hopefully.

As stated engine is a x18xe1, the mileage on the current engine is on about 53k. Its the second one ive owned as the crank went in the last.

Engine came bare from ebay for £325 to my door.
