cheers guys, suprised at the lack of negative comments

No rubber on rear window, its in the garage somewhere, also need to find the door rubbers.

Colour is Aroura Purple, told its quite a rare colour on Corsa's.

Not sure on flaps, might put some rears on, but not the fronts.

Also need to heighten the front coilovers, just a bit too low for my liking now it has the bumper on. With it being smoothed, i dont want it cracking in the first week, just because it is so low.

Not really mate

The side mounts have a few holes in the bottom, so i can take the bolts out, move it forward / back about 2/3 inches and put bolts back in.

Not really as quick as pulling a lever, but once i get it how i want it, its not going to change really.

I reckon keep that bumper because it goes with the back one.

Get a stick-on numberplate

As in, a sticker, now put sticky pads on a normal one

Joe, i already know what you want me to do

Roy, its done as a favour so wasnt normal price. Plus, if you are having similar work done, but have a Gsi front, i dont want us to look the same!

Dave, Stick on plate could be a winner, any legal issues?

Cheers for input.

I dunno tbh mate, I suppose it depends on how vigilant the police are round your way.

As far as I know so long as it's reflective it'll be ok.

From the last page here (PDF file).
quote:
THE BRITISH STANDARD
The British Standard sets out the physical characteristics on the number plate. This includes:
- Visibility
- Strength
- Reflectivity

The British Standard also requires that a number plate must be marked with the followinginformation: -
- The British Standard Number (currently BS AU 145d)
- The name, trade mark, or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier. (The company who actually make the number plate.)
- The name and postcode of the supplying outlet. (The 'supplying outlet' is taken to mean a company whose business consists wholly or partly of selling number plates.)
- A non-reflective border and the Euro-symbol with the national identification letters are optional additions.
- There shall be no other markings or material contained on the number plate.
I didn't see anything about stick-on plates so as long as it's reflective with the right font and a postcode etc on it then it should be alright.
