Ive just re-read my whole thread looks a tad different from what it did before.
All thats left to do now on the list of 'things i wanted for it' is to fit my 2L brake set up  which is laying around waiting for me to find time to re-paint the callipers and source funds for discs and pads. soon, soon.

IMO, you need to stop wasting money and time on the little parts, lower it and buy wheels
funny that because doing what you just suggested is how every single corsa becomes exactly the same as every other corsa; it's the small, subtle mods that are so good and in-keeping with the originality of the car that make it that little bit special. Nice car mate

Old one out -
Cleaned a bit of the crap out of it while i had it undone.
New one to go in -
New one in -
Old AFM out too -
New one fitted and all done up -
Running like it should 9for now, *touch wood*)
Thanks to warren'g for AFM too top chap.

Todays bargain mod - a whole £1.50's worth
New interior light, came out of a Vectra and since its smoked i thought it would go along nicely with the rest of the smoked theme on my car
Before -
Old one and new one -
New Veccy one came with a heat shield which i think is awesome The bulb does tend to get hot if left on. So deffo going to be keeping that on there.
Also i had a Xeon white interior light so needed to swap that over too -
Bulb's swapped over -
Heat shield back on new one -
Re-wired back in -
All done, looks so much better -
Current state of the car First time its dried out in over a week and shes looking slaggish. Far too cold to wash her though 
Standard headlights back in too for crappy weather  If im going to crash/get bumped im not damaging the FK's Also i can see more of the road with RHD headlights  -
Exhaust seems to be going rusty  -
All for now and for this holiday, other plans coming up though

I thought about it but my car would look like a christmas tree inside
Illuminated sun visors, interior light and additional spots would be way ott

Sure is. People who get in and dont know about them are surprised by the classiness of illumination too

I looked in my pictures of my car start to finish, I can't actually remember it as a standard 12v GLS. It's faster now too
I have the same interior light, but with map lights I have been given a tutorial for doing it, but waiting until the summer
