My corsa, its nearly finished from its recent work

Recently sprayed the rear arches, and fitted. Sprayed the wheels, still got two to go, but got the finished two on the back.

Also sprayed my boot lock, all I need to do now is one more front arch, and the other two wheels, then the bodywork is done

Just waiting on my 40mm springs, then need to buy a GSI spoiler, then thats the outside of my corsa finished, yay.

Question I have two front sport seats in the shed, just the bare seats, needs the subframes & pre-tensioners off my current seats. However, they are quite worn, the drivers bolster is pretty much buggered, and the seat padding is near enough white

Rekon I should put them in the car, they are MUCH comfier than the current seats.

Ive got the drums black ATM, but im really liking the red against the white of the wheel, so I dont know what to do

Its off atm as I really, really couldnt get the arch liner off, so i took the whole wing off instead, to remove, spray and re-fit the plastic arch.

Last arch is finished, and bonded onto the wing, just need to bolt it back on. Got my wheels back, number 3 is in primer, just waiting for it to dry, should be finished by the morning.

Pics tomorrow

Right, wheel 3 of 4 is done, just waiting on the lacquer to dry.

Painted one drum red, most people wont like it, but IMO its a brilliant contrast to the white and caribic blue, so its staying

Bought some pads for my 2L brakes, can finally get them fitted soon, need new hoses first though.
