sorry to the person who i robbed this pic from!

but i think the colours work realy well ( i know its a corsa c btw!)
but just buying new washer bottle, expansion tank makes so much diffrence, just makes the car look alot newer
also the chrome, carbon and the black colour of the car look good together
what you think?

Would love a nice big front mount but I cant bring myself cut it up and its all under warranty etc etc....... That things coping ok with 320bhp really.
Should see the inlet temps after sitting in traffic with the "interwarmer tho" 60 degree + Give it 200 yards and its back down but its still scary, wouldnt like to drag it regularly!! Best safety mod I fitted was the inlet charge temp monitor!
