What does anyone think of the bonnet, help my decide if i keep it! when i heard it had a carbon bonnet I thought some chav had got handy with the stickers but it turns out it's a proper carbon fibre bonnet so don't know if I should keep it as it's about £500+ new!

I was thinking black for the alloys! i might take the glass off the headlights and paint the front section of the lens black so they look smoked.

Weather been too bad to do any paint work so just swapped back over to standard wiper arms as the single wiper was getting on my nerves, couldn't see out bottom of screen! should be getting a normal bonnet back on it this week, i'm still debating if I should go down the gsi kit route or stay with the standard kit and paint the black trim on bumper and arches in a metalic anthracite and laquer them?

Been looking myself but they're loads of money when they come up, I've seen a facelift vectra gsi bumper to fit a corsa so might get it and see what it looks like on my car!
