Thanks mate. Its a month later then i wanted to wait but had financial issues so wheels had to wait. Im so happy now i got some decent alloys. Need to paint brakes now though as you can see them lol

Another update :

Just dropped our lass off at pole dancing class :D was first trip with new wheels and feels solid. Bit wider then stocks so should be grippier a little bit.

Forgot to show my new dustcaps lol

Image

On the way there a speed bump nocked a dash bulb out so when i got home i got cracking sorting that. While i was there i replaced the middle bulb that was white with a blue led i found in my boot. I though i lost / broke them all until i found this one hiding in my boot the other day soo matching leds finally :D

Thats all for now. Really fancy coilovers to stiffen up suspension. Rear is a bit crap coz of the sub i have so after christmas i best get looking for some cheap ones.

Also ordered some corsa-b.co.uk stickers so should have them soon :D

Also still want a spoiler and temped with subtle exhaust

The car has came on really well :)

Do you find it a bit odd looking at the red empty mark on the fuel guage? To me it looks like a big void on mine  :lol: :lol:

Thats not too bad tbh looks like the crash bar took the most of it, dent in the bonnet could be hammered out by yourself till you get a replacement
