See page 15.

Oh, and having looked myself they have 6 spokes shows how long it's been since I've given them any attention.

I might swap back to white bumpers when they're ready to go on. Although it will probably look fine as it stands.
Will have to see.

Found something in my room I'd forgot to put on





Nice touch that doesn't cost much. Last ones been there for three years so I guess it needed a new'un.

Yeah, the paints coming off. As said, they're pretty battered now after 3 winters and recent pressure washing. The more they lose the less I care about pressure washing them

Update:

To marry up with the Lexmaul 4-2-1 manifold that has been fitted, decided on 2 inch stainless steel system with high-flow cat, middle box and back box. Didnt want it loud. Hence keeping the middle box.

Shopped about a bit, got quotes. In the end decided on John Ashley exhausts - mostly on reputation.

Anyways, called up and sorted some bits out with John himself and arranged a date.

Popped over on Friday and left the car with them. Went through my requirements and guaged what I wanted. Nervous much?
Decided on high-flow cat, 2 inch system, small centre box, bbox and descaled 2 inch tail pipe (M3 stylee init ) I was dreading it would be loud and I'd hate it

Popped back after a wee while and the lads had done a cracking job, however hadnt fitted the bbox until theyd got my approval on it.
Started it up and it was lovely. They've somehow managed to check every box I had. Could not have asked for more

Anyways, pics.



I did say M3 style, but i was hoping it would look more standard, i was fed up of a chrome 'tip'. I think its nice.






Couple of other pics



(yes the G60's are battered, theyre winter wheels. yes the bumpers and arches need some drastic tlc - im working on it)

Heres a small (literally) video of the car - Corsa - x16xe

This is pretty much my idea of corsa perfection. Love it all. Please refurb the G60s and keep them on. Much better than cesaros

Thanks a lot

I could flake all the paint off and have black g60's

I like the look of the g60's but theyve been on for yonks. I think I will be settling on grey comp mo's as my ideal wheel. But will wait to see what crops up.

Yea frnot looks good, rear not so much, maybe when you get some bumper shine on them they'll look a lot better but it takes a lot of upkeep to keep them that way

Yeah. Upkeep might be the deciding issue.
Ill just keep the black ones if I go back; pop them in the garage until someone produces a product to keep them black

Not a fan of the back box, the box looks too big compared to the tip to me.
Comps sound the greatest plan

Love the exhaust, looks purposeful instead of "looks at mine massive chrome tailpipe".

Thanks for the comments.

I don't think it looks out of proportion, just looks, well, normal.

Been out in it loads, just so happy it's back and weather to match!

You know I love this car but something is not right.

It needs to lose the skirts and rub strips to pull off the black bumper look, it just looks too busy

I preferred the beautiful sport bumpers

Thanks

Still can't make my mind up re: bumpers. In two minds each time I look at it.
I've got a plan im going to try out, results will decide!

In the mean time, I decided to lose he Astra flaps and snapped these up for a wee bargain of a price
