To go with the wheels, plus its alot cheaper to buy and spray haha

how did you get rid of the little rust patches ? and yeah i think you should spray it black to break the colour of the car up a bit .

I took the wheel arch off and scraped all the rust away, sanded it down and primered it up, still need to drill a hole to fit the wheel arch back on lol, not doing much progress atm as its too damn cold to crawl around on the floor and ive just moved flat, and its the busiest period at work haha.

Looking good mate but no more stickers! And if you find out who scratched your car scratch the word 'TIT' onto his forehead!

is it me, or is that air filter not fitted properly? shouldnt it be attatched to the rubber intake hose and not the CAF?

black wheels make the car look a million times better mate :D

your air filters fine mate, just its got a rather large extension, what you could do is take the air box off, but tbh since this is a 1.0 corsa they dont actually make any difference to them if anything the oil thats in the filters tend to get stuck to the AFM and produce weird results making the engines run rough,

got my door back from being sprayed, looks brand new now lol, and only cost me £50. Bargain. But went to charge my battery coz it died, connected it the same way i have for years, but this time it didnt charge nd made smoke cum out of my engine bay nd made a terrible smell, so i unplugged it all and left it, any ideas on why this has happened?
