Part right dude  Picked my front struts up from Ray yesterday and got them fitted as soon as i got home. I agree would be awesome to have the air'd corsas next to each other, would look boss!
Right, now it'll all make sense, time for the pictures!
Those eagle eyed of you will notice the front bag struts fitted in the pic i posted earlier, as i mentioned, picked them up yesterday from Ray and cracked on with getting them fitted and plumbed in as soon as i got home. Then today i cracked on with more. Went to Vaux to pick up some new arch bolts, was gonna take a nice pic of them with the packet but forgot . Got home and got straight to it removing the front bumper and drivers wing.
Fresh painted up bumper bar brackets. This is after the pic earlier.
New wing on Needed a bit of tinkering about but got there in the end. Put some black plasticised mesh from a Jag behind the vent and needed to tap the wing of the chassis led in a bit to get it to sit nice. Also painted the chassis leg satin black to make it look a lot neater, nobody wants to be looking into a gaping hole to see primer coloured bits ay.
Then it was time for the bumper and arch trim. Need to source a new or decent condition lower grill still (~£28 from Vaux) and might possibly put some mesh in the upper grill space. Splitter will be going on also, probably when it's a bit warmer.
Quickly popped out to get a few quick snaps.
Probably my favourite one for now.
And that's it for now!  Still plenty to do and plenty going on, seems like it's never ending I love it though!

Cheers muchly dude! I love how the top grill matches the bottom one, suits it so well like you say. Slowly making progress, i'll keep cracking on with it haha, seems like i'll have touched/changed pretty much every panel on this damn car when i'm finished!

Glad to be exceeding expectations Jamie! The bonnet will be getting sprayed Rio Verde eventually, probably with other big panels like the tailgate etc.

Haha cheers Dan, glad you like! Bonnet will be going green, and pretty much all the plastics/trim will be going the black/grey pearl. I try to do as much as possible on it, but due to space and stuff i get my dad to do the spraying at his work, i'm getting him to show me whats what though so hoping eventually i'll be able to do all my own spraying
