Cheers Vik, will bear that in mind seeing as the nearest costco to me is ?Watford? 
JILL
Yup i think it is probably watford, thats where they did mine. The guys that fitted them spent about 5 mins trying to work out how to start it... i was mean and didnt tell them

Just don't mod the exterior that's all, I saw one a while back with quad exhausts and a bodykit. I was almost in tears.

  Yeah I swear cars know these things! The day laura picked up my corsa it was really sunny and quite hot- took it out for one last spin and the hot leather burnt my back and the gearknob burnt my hand (well not proper burns obviously but you know what I mean!).

Yeah tell me about it, they look alright as they are no need to ruin it with things like that. Like Vik and Rob have said though- the ST xenons do look good on them And would quite like colour coded door handles but that's it

Yeah the xenons make a nice change and also smoked rears would look very classy, but anything else non-perf related has to be a no-no... c/c door handles wud be good as well tho
