Nice one mate
!
What specific type of brakes you got? Discs or drums @ rear?
You could refurbish the wheel trim, best would be all around, believe Halfords has it, Motip Bumperspray.
Would fit a spoiler
(the GSi one, that's SRi in England right?).
Could teint the windows & go for other lights around.

Looking good mate!
having HIDs is a good thing for driving at night (I had some and they where bright as f**k) but they won't pass an mot
so I sold mine and got some bright bulbs instead

Hmm, sure with oil it will shine as if it were new..I use a shine spray, but both methods give temporary results..
That Motip spray is permanent, will def use that soon.

..wtf, why not put in regular bulbs for MOT, then switch back right after..?
That's how I handle that, & no need to remove the wiring, just switch bulbs 'n plugs..

Looks like a nice buy for 400. I have just linseed oiled my bumpers and they look so much better, but have already got water streaks in from when it rained.

ive just ordered my HID's they look good. car looks good. im not a fan of the corsa c sxi alloys myself but they look good on this. think you need a dark parcel shelf too if you can find one cheap enough.
i think its lowered 60mm all around btw, noticed you broke your bumper on the splitter?
i did that when i had mine
