Lets update this ****



Shocker sticker is now gone :thumb:



Hated these, as they do naff all to support your head and look really small







So a trip to the scrappy found a 3.0l v6 Omega withh full elather trim, so nicked the hollow square headrests from it















Got them in, then went back for another mooch, and found it had rears aswell, so after bending the pins 180* with sheer brute force, they were swapped also



One in...





All in







These actually support your head aswell, which is much better

Edit:- Their all facing the correct way even though the rears dont look it, its because their leaning forward, and also their a spot on colour match, just the camera brings it out different, and my seats could do with a clean

Cant believe its been nearly 2 months since i updated this



Heres some bits and bobs ive aquired for it over that time



Grey mirrors, painted in work to match the car so i can get rid of the grey ones, however smashed one glass putting it back in



















Oh dear!











Corsa dash mat







Silver 5-speed knob, with reverse in the right place!







Silver centre dash plastics, but unsure on these atm, but will see what they look like in







FULL set of aero wiper blades & arms







And i know most of you didnt liek these, but their going back in







And for all you legal brown-nose's out there, when light hits them, they DO shine red...somehow, considering their jet black







And also aquired these from work, which one to use? Considering badgeing it all up using the new logo







thats all for now :thumb:

Looked good on the Tigra wheels but the Alessios are even better.

You coming to the next NWNW meet?

Love it! Hope you do come to the next NW/NW meet. Love to see it in person.

Quick question what did you do with those flip keys? Is it possible to wire up a remote locking system with them?

Looks great on the speedlines mate.
