Very nice mate.:thumbs:

Remove the SRi badges from the door as you don't have rub strips and they look lost. Get the New Vectra SRi ones and put them under the indicators, they are far more subtle than the Corsa ones. Then drill the airbox and put in a K&N filter, sounds very loud.

Sorry, I know you just got the car a few hours a go, but hey you'll be wanting to add your own individual touches to it.:)

Lovely.

just found out something about the mirrors in a little bit of paper that was included in the glove box.
"Exterior mirror on Corsa SRi
For the safety of pedestrians, the mirrors are released from their mountings if they are bumped with sufficient force.
Relocate the disengaged mirror houseing in its mountings and engage by applying pressure." so yeah wont just snap off but they will either fall on the road or swing on the cables and dent ur door

2004 style 1.4 Twinport SRi in ultra blue. its not taxed yet since dvla computers were down but should be tomorow. i thought the 1.4 engine had a big silver cover on it but it looks more or less the same as the 1.2 engine with a few extra pipes here and there. cant wait to see it in the daylight tho.
