Haha yeah i got my bullet style bakbox only thinking yeah it will give it a nice tone be qiuet in low revs and low mid to high range yet its sooted up and f**k me its loud! If i put a centre section on this it would be deafening! Sooting up has made it a good 4x louder i recon!

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
Image

Decided to do sunroof winder and surround aswell
Image

Image

Image

B pillars out
Image
Image

Grabhandle on
Image

Sunglasses holder on
Image

Rear trim took out for paint
Image

Sunroof trim painted and on
Image

B pillars done
Image
Image

Final picture of trim Image

Bought some vauxhall stickers for the mirrors
Image
Image
Image

Also got some vaux logos for centre caps
Image

And finally. I changed the pollen filter

Image

Thats all for pictures. I did however fill my rear bumper so it just needs sanding smooth then painted
