Removed the front plate surround and put the rear plate on straight & got some new overall pics the other day.









I'm pretty happy with the car now to be honest, no major plans left (at the moment )

Looks mint mate if I'd do anything it'd be a chrome tip back box but that's being really nit picky [emoji38] 1 in 50 people would notice it tbh

[CORSABM8]

Thanks mate.

The tip was chrome originally but has been neglected somewhat

I preferred the whole Opel back end with the mud laps looked really smart

You'll like this update then..

Got some brand new opel mud flaps from german eBay. I had a set before but regrettably sold them a while ago, so got some more..







Also finally properly sorted the exhaust, ever since I've had this exhaust it's always hung really low which has been gradually starting to annoy me as it looks a bit pikey. I'd bought different hangers previously which raised it slightly and made it not rattle but it still was my enough.

Bought these and sawed them in half leaving the two holes closest together which im pretty sure is not how it's meant to be but does the job as the tip is about the thickness of a 5p away from the bumper which is perfect.





and today gave the corsa its first wash in about two months, inside still needs doing mind





I like the car as it is to be honest so not many things i want to change visually now other than morettes if they come up at the right price.

I have been thinking about engine swap recently - I think an x16xe would be perfect for me but it's not something i could do myself so need to look into cost.

In the latest photos up the page the colours seem to be very off from the phone/camera i was using the car didnt even look arden blue, but i've got a new phone with a much better camera so the car actually looks arden blue rather than a washed out light blue.

Went out to take some photos earlier with the new phone.. the car was actually clean before i went out but got dirty by the time i made it to the place i took the photos.

Since the last update cars needed a new clutch, alternator, oil change and most recently a CV joint.





I've also bought some short pressed plates





Size comparison





Grey painted centre console had gotten scuffed up, so took that off and replaced it with a standard unpainted one which looks better anyway...



Managed to partially rip an arch off, so need to get a new one and get it painted





And got some Morrettes









Cases in good condition really, all lugs intact...





Insides before





And cleaned up







Cases painted gloss black





Also got some new dipped/high beam bulbs and side lights





And decided what I was going to do with the indicators, originally was going to get some for behind the grill but decided they will be too close together so went with this idea I got from another thread on here which is to mount motorbike indicators to the back of the empty inside lense

Did the measurements and bought the bits



Arrived, all the right size just need the hole in the top of the mount drilling bigger to accommodate the bike indicator



Indicators arrived





Trial of how indicators will sit



Re-drilled one of the holes to fit the indicator







And back together, with indicators







Cars also having bit of trouble starting, mainly when it's warm/been running so got it plugged in and came up as being an egr valve fault so have bought a blanking plate.. Yet to fit though.



Will get the Morrettes fitted soon also.

[CORSABM8]

Nice weather, so fit the morettes today..









Just have to wire indicators in and adjust the alignment and they'll be done.

Looking good with the morettes pal [emoji106] the idea with the motorbike indicators is genius I like that a lot!! Shame to hear about the mechanical problems you've had to sort though I'm in the same boat, but the car is looking spot on mate top job [emoji108][emoji4]
