Just got back from Japan yesterday (amazing place, definitely has my recommendation!), and had borrowed a high res (10.3 mega pixel for all you camera geeks!) camera off a mate to take pictures while I was away, so as I still had it I thought Id take a couple pictures of my latest mods on the corsa.

I fitted a mantzel inlet manifold (the blue one that used to be owned by L30 SCT) I painted it gloss black before fitting it. Now drives much better, after 5000rpm it feels like a totally different engine! Sounds awesome too! The engine bay isnt as clean as Id like it to be, but that is thanks to british weather!

I also trimmed the crash panel (think thats what its called) and the glovebox handle in charcoal alcantara to match my seats. Not a perfect job, but not bad for a first attempt I didnt think. I still need to do the doorcards but I need some in that are in better condition and havent got the holes for winders before I start.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments guys! really means alot to me! lol I still havent got round to taking the USC stickers off that came with the car when I bought it!
The alcantara is quite tricky, because if you get any glue on the exposed side of the material it WONT come off! I might do a tutorial when I do the other parts, although there isnt really much to it other than practice, I did the crash panel first hence why it doesnt look as good as the glovebox handle!

Yeah PVS all the way, and maybe a few other shows..thanks for all the comments guys its so nice to have so many people saying nice things about it!
Oh and thanks to James, I think I am running a slight negative camber mate, but I am thinking of changing the suspension soon to something a bit more comfortable, as at the moment it is a right pain in the arse and has even caused paint on the sideskirts to crack!
