Re: New car :)
Nice one mate !
What specific type of brakes you got? Discs or drums @ rear?
You could refurbish the wheel trim, best would be all around, believe Halfords has it, Motip Bumperspray.
Would fit a spoiler (the GSi one, that's SRi in England right?).
Could teint the windows & go for other lights around.

Looking good mate! having HIDs is a good thing for driving at night (I had some and they where bright as f**k) but they won't pass an mot so I sold mine and got some bright bulbs instead

Hmm, sure with oil it will shine as if it were new..I use a shine spray, but both methods give temporary results..vcorsab wrote:ive been told its astra, discs at rear mate, im thinking about getting boiled linseed oil for the trim, am sticking with standard rear lights and i want smoked depos for the front yea i need a spoiler haha, thanks
That Motip spray is permanent, will def use that soon.
..wtf, why not put in regular bulbs for MOT, then switch back right after..?gazza_no7 wrote:Looking good mate! having HIDs is a good thing for driving at night (I had some and they where bright as f**k) but they won't pass an mot so I sold mine and got some bright bulbs instead
That's how I handle that, & no need to remove the wiring, just switch bulbs 'n plugs..

Looks like a nice buy for 400. I have just linseed oiled my bumpers and they look so much better, but have already got water streaks in from when it rained.

Re: New car :)
ive just ordered my HID's they look good. car looks good. im not a fan of the corsa c sxi alloys myself but they look good on this. think you need a dark parcel shelf too if you can find one cheap enough.
i think its lowered 60mm all around btw, noticed you broke your bumper on the splitter?
i did that when i had mine
