Dont usually like different coloured bonnets, but it suits your car really well!

I'm 5050 on the bonnet, Got future plans for it anyway, Not worried about it ATM.
Anyway, This broke down on me this morning kinda, Oil pressure light came on randomly, switched it off and got it recovered back, Checked the oil pressure with a proper gauge testing thing  and it confirmed its fine, Just the pressure switch had fucked up, So stuck a new one on it and its solved, Thank fuck.
So to treat it for dying on me, I fitted some new rear shocks (No pics), and my cheapo, freebie coilovers.
Old Loose -60mm springs on standard shocks, Bumpy as fuck.
Newz
Before
After
Not a huge difference, I doubt they will stay either But I want to know what they feel like on the road, I imagine hard as fuck 
Haven't driven it yet as I need to do up one of the top mounts, Job for tomorrow before a quick B-road blat.
Comments pls

Wheel comments won't need to be worried about in a while, I am changing the wheels, Just need to save some funds and fix the 12v first.
Will see how the coilovers go

Day off so figured I'd get a few jobs done on the corsa, most of them aren't pic worthy.
I'd love to say this is PVS prep, but its not, I'm not going.
Pics anyway
Exhaust manifold paint has finally started to come off, Only in one area, I think its where I couldn't wire brush it properly.
Then just pics of the outside, Looks really good now its proper clean again, Forgot what its like when clean!
I should say, The 60mm springs/shocks are back on, Coilovers will be refitted, I just need to get my new spring platform in the post.
Comments please.

Looks lovely Alex Shame your not going to PVS Would have been nice for everyone to see your efforts in person!
The bay is so tidy
The manifold doesn't matter, only the top bit! Was a good idea and it looks good!
Love this when its clean

As some of you may know, The exhaust on this is fecking loud and its been doing my head in, Even though I said I wanted a loud car this time round.
I had always thought the bit of straight pipe bungs did feck all, but I found a offcut of exhaust I had lying around and tonight I shuved it in, Gave it a wack with the hammer and off I went.....
The difference from just that, Is amazing. It don't look the best but heyho, Will see how it goes. Else I'll be refitting the standard exhaust.
Ho Ho.

Not really a update, But thats because the stuff I planned this weekend has been ruined by rain 
In the mean time I have some good news... My coilovers are going to be refitted midweek and a mate of mine is doing the tracking for me so will mean I can run the car lower and it will improve the ride tenfold.
Been buying stuff although have nothing to show atm Steinmetz Skirt reps are on their way, Vaux mats and a non-aircon engine mount at last.
Also I'm still after wheels, Shaun done this photoshop for me......
I love it.....

I think I will talk for Alex when I say that he will sell it but won't post it to NI and he will need a replacement silver bonnet in proper mint condition to make him happy!
