yeah ok, still looks good there aint much of a difference, im just a perfectionist :) like everything to be spot on! i think the colours of them vary for the year of the car but i aint sure. mine wasnt the matt chrome. it was just silver its lighter than the matt chrome! apparently, they look the same to me!

you know this facia kit, i brought mine from vauxhall the same colour but the fit of it is really poor, the panel with the heater controls sticks out more than what the facia does? but the top is nice n flush

LOL Sorry its been a very long day!!!

Are they all the same colour in the C's? My GF is getting the new car on Sat, so im not going to see dash till then, but if they only do one colour i could order the surround 2moro.

One other thing, when fitting new head into the C, are there any wires to cut as in the B's to get the date to show again on mdf? Or is it just plug and play in the C?

Thanks for your help people. Im off to get some coffee!!!

I’ve not seen the standard head unit in a Corsa C. Is it normal sized or will you need a new surround to fit an aftermarket head unit in?

Thanks!
