Yup, come on cobra, give us the run down how it fits. Not wiring, thats the easy bit.

Not at the moment. I was going to sell it a while ago but got silly offers, it was better for me to keep it.
My Mrs keeps on at me to put the original dials back in with an alloy fascia fitted, she hates the digital dash, and she has the car 90% of the time. Theres a small chance I might have another one of these that will be for sale, won't be for a month or so though if it is.

Rundown how it fits? It simply plugs straight in, no need for any wire cutting. The dash has been wired up to drop straight in the Corsa, heres a pic of the back...
If you look, you will see mine is no longer the GTE dash, but its been built into a Calibra/Vectra housing, this is a more Corsa friendly shape.
The easiest way to get the shape is to remove the perspex and flatten the original face and fabricate a new front to bond on. The new face plate can then be cut or trimmed to a size to fit the Corsa. The pic below gives an idea...

Thats not exactly helpful for the Corsa. Although the wiring is basically the same, that tutorial has been cut and pasted from a Nova site.
