Hi thanks for the interest. To answer you question from a simple angle yes you will end up with a gap. Basically what you have to do (explains in the printed guide with the digi dials) is to take the front off the dials and fit that in place to the back of the Corsa dials, you then fill/fibreglass around the dials to fill the gap (obviously making it flat) and then paint it to match or paint the whole back section and filled bit any colour. There was a chap who sold a few of these completely done for around £285, but decided to do it myself before decided to get new car. They look smart whn done. I've seen a few at the shows (hence why I wanted to do it).

If I can find a picture of a finished one I will upload it.

Hope that helps.

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!

EDIT: just found the other post, yeah have reserved the pipercross lol, also interested in vented wing how much for both?
The rear seat thing, It is rare that I fold them down, but it has to be said that when folded they do remove a bit of weight.

Hey youngsezer,

Have a good christmas? Hows the car? Did you end up posting up all the pvs pictures in the end??

Where about are you from again? We said £15+£3 for postage for the pipercross. I am after £50 for the wing. Give me until the start of new year so can take wing off and get it priced for postage if I'm not heading your way and will let you know prices! You were happy to wait until new year due to post closure for pipercross cold air feed posted you said! That still ok?

That ok?

Have you got a cone filter?

Yeah that would be good if you could please. Memories of the car once it's gone!

If I'd known I was down your neck of the woods last night and today (Monday) Doh! Is that the northern or southern side of Bristol and how long would I take you roughly to get to Aston gate (Bristol city fc)??

Reason for asking is if you wanted the wing aswell as cold air feed, I am goin back down to Bristol on the 15 or 16 jan so we could meet up to save on postage for you!!?? I've got someone else from Newport meeting me that day in Bristol for my skirts! Lol.

Reason for asking about cone was if you hadn't I'd throw one in for you.

Is the noise coming from a split hose or a worn out thermostat or something?
