Well tbh mate if you think it's too loud now you'd be as well putting the middle box back in and leave the sportex back box on, it'll get rid of the tinney noise and be alot more subtle

Right been busy since 8am got loads done so will get cracking with pictures / videos.
So firsts first. Saddened me to do this considering i love the sound
It went from
This
http://youtu.be/PowDeVgkdoU
To this
http://youtu.be/ra8cCgBR-kQ
Can see it staying like this till i get bored and put the race tube back on lol
While car was on stands i went to change brake discs. Rounded one of the bolts that goes into the calliper carrier
sick as f**k like. Brakes still fine though as i didnt manage to get it loose haha. So gonna need to order a new bolt and a tap and die set. Woo. The fun i have instore for me
Seems as the brake disc change failed i decided to start on the blackening of other parts in my interior
Plasti dip is awesome. Unless you put it on too thin then if you get a slight scratch it just peels
But no need to sand parts. Winning.
Heres what i got done
Grab handle and corsa c sunglasses holder
Decided to do sunroof winder and surround aswell
B pillars out
Grabhandle on
Sunglasses holder on
Rear trim took out for paint
Sunroof trim painted and on
B pillars done
Final picture of trim
Bought some vauxhall stickers for the mirrors
Also got some vaux logos for centre caps
And finally. I changed the pollen filter
Thats all for pictures. I did however fill my rear bumper so it just needs sanding smooth then painted
