theres a rubber gromit in each side of the firewall, you simply drill a hole in it a slide your cable through and it shud be water tight, as for running the cables i've ran mine up the left side of the car and hidden them behind a few of the pannels.

make sure if you drill a hole its not to big it shud be a tight fit so its water proof.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
