Havent been on here much recently, just havent had time, but had time to get a few bits done on the car, not a lot mind.

While i was down at college, i asked for my bonnet painting, so off it came


It was covered in stone chips and rust, so it was nitromorsed and full bare metaled. Then primed, with too much primer, and painted, then the primer popped, causing it to look like this


Off it came again, to be bare metaled again and re-painted. In the mean time i fit new plates



Then a random one of Blue, my new Corsa mascot C'MON!!


After painting again, reflections





Then the other day i got a badgeless grille off my mate so a few more pics




And one of the engine for good measure.



What you all think?

Oh and for all ive got, only spend a tenner on the grille, not bad eh.

Air gets the the tb quicker, as usually the air comes down from a long bugger of a hose behind the engine, being on the passenger side means a much shorter distance for the air to go.

Yes the car spent a lot of time at vsport, through few dyno runs and testing, Dave found that to be the best flow of air to the tb, the car made 96bhp on the rollers iirc.

you couldve stuck the plates on instead of sticking screws through them
