She's on the way to be a very tidy motor! Want to get the tigra bits for mine as it does add to it.
Have you thought about de-restricting the airbox. Had it on the old b and sounded more throaty. Although you have to make sure you drill in the right place so as not to start sucking up warm air and bits of debris. Prob best getting a spare from scrap man and using that.
But overall, car's shaping up!

Cheers man appreciate that yeah the tigra bits do look well hard to come by tho I've already taken my airbox off and put an induction filter on just need to run a pipe from like the front of the bumper to the filter so I'm getting that cold air intake,

Hopefully will get the washed and hoovered out this week and post some more pics off her it's looking abit on the scruffy side at the moment haha

So today work included fitting the new gear stick gaitor which was a pain to do with all the staples in it and also fitted the new wind deflectors I bought for her £24 on eBay and got the tigra scuttle panel fitted too [emoji4] totally different car now with the wind deflectors and tigra scuttle on looks well, unfortunately phone died when taking photos so will upload some exterior ones tomorrow with the scuttle and deflectors on but here's one of the gaitor

Before -

After -

Please excuse the mess in front off the car I swear I'm going to clean it out tomorrow [emoji4]

When fitting the new gaitor do you need to put the staples in again?
She's starting to come together now!

When I did mine I used double sided tape instead of staples

Yeah really want to fit the Sri steering wheel seen loads when I was in the locally scrappy so I'm off to get one next weekend, and to be honest mate I've never thought off tigra clocks is there much off a difference??

I know she's not the must perfectly clean corsa on here but think she's starting to take shape after installing the deflectors and tigra scuttle will look better once I've blacked the trims back up

I did a how to on clocking new dials so that the milage matches. Also I would get an aftermarket grill. It would really clean the front up.
