It's been a long time coming (about 6 1/2 months ) but they're finally on 
I also clayed the bonnet and roof this morning because they were covered in tree sap and bug guts and then polished and waxed them but haven't gotten round to the rest of the car yet 









Then another location on the way home but it was less exciting than I thought

My thoughts too mate, trading it in the beginning of next year so unless I can get some standard colour coded ones cheap these'll do

Never thought of that before Was thinking of going down the Irmy kit route but want a newer car now

Cheers When I was putting it on I kind of forgot that the bolts are 10 years old so accidentally broke one

I do Chris, they have an Arden blue door and boot lid but that's it Last time I went there were two flame red ones and a maroon one 
Faz, Corsa C 1.8 Not bothered over SRi or SXi+ but would rather have an SRi then put the half leathers in 
Oh, and it has to be black.
Nothing specific in mind, then

Hmm, never heard anyone put it that way before. I will admit that the black bumpers have been growing on me since I decided not to get it fully colour coded any more, and most people on here have painted bumpers so it makes a change I suppose 
Not a massive fan of the Irmy splitter thing, has to be airdam imo
