Its always the way though! You start one job and end up with a million  How much work is needed on the V6? New engine, bodywork?

Update
Fitted my mudflaps to my rear bumper and for cheap ebay jobbies they look spot on!
Fitted my new back box aswel thanks to Chris (like it!!!)
Painted my drums matt black and painted my calipers red. Calipers came out matt red though so might have to either redo them with different paint or get some laquer on them.
Ordered some custom centre caps from a bloke off ebay.
Just need to get some sikaflex for my sideskirts and pick the other bits up and then i can fit it all and be one step closer to being on the road
Still need to sort my tyres out though! If anyone can get my Maxxis TR-Z1 195/45/16 cheaper than £48 a tyre then let me know!
I also took a trip to Vauxhall and spent a small fortune on new fixings for my arches. 23 13mm screws and 2 18mm screws plus 2 plastic clips came to £14 odd
I will get pics of all this when i get chance to upload them off my phone.
Plans for tomorrow are to fit my decals which finally arrived, get new spring bolts for my exhaust and fit them, polish the rest of the bodywork, tidy my engine bay and i might even give the shitter of my red corsa a wash!

You need 4 of the 18mm one on the front of each front arch and one on the back of each back arch

Just one question would you keep the boot stickers the same as they are in the pic or put another square at the top right of the design?

I think the Nurburg stickers are a bit hit and miss but i like them for now I know Maxxis are cheap but i had them on my last corsa and they are really good tyres.
