Thanks for the positive comments everyone. More updates coming very soon!

Well after 4 weeks of waiting i rang the company i'd bought my depo lights for the 5th time to ask wtf my lights were. lost my rag with the bloke and cancelled them in the end. two days later look what turned up

My Corsa haynes manual said I had to take the whole front end off to get the lights out! Managed to get them off no problem with the bumper on etc

pics after being fitted today





and heres a quick pic of my latest purchase!

Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad you're all liking it so far

Green thing, its a 60mm jamex kit. Should look sweet once fitted!
sam13, punto wiper is a deffo. they look so much cleaner than the corsa one. shouldnt have a problem getting one...working for fiat has its advantages

oh and only three months to go now until I can get it on the road! can't wait!

So heres some pics. looks ace i think!

Too late lol. Sprayed all the centre cap in the same colour. Didnt think the chrome would look right against the colour.

Thanks for the comments chaps

Update time again folks! One thing i've always hated about my corsa is the horrible sound that the 12v engine makes! sounds crap! So seeing as the middlebox on the exhaust was nakered I decided to get a cat back aftermarket system to beef it up a bit

So the system consists of and remus stainless steel straight through centre pipe and a sportex mild steel back box with a 4" tip. That should help drown out the sound of the 12v engine lol

heres some pics





can't fit it just yet as I need a reducer sleeve because the bore size on the new system is slightly bigger. will pop into the powerflow dealer down the road next weekend and get one made up
