A few updates put a tigra splitter on the car since a speed bump ripped the corsa one off 
They dont look diffrent from the original one just a stronger design and a b1tch to fit. 
 
  
 
I was bored today so i bought some paint to smarten up around the hubs i had painted. 
 
  
 
  
Clipped the petrol pipes up after the photo. 
 
Just another 4 arches left and all the underneath, then paint the back axel

I done the same with the inner arches lad.  Look at my project thread.  Took ALOT longer than I expected.  Two coats to cover fully!  
 
Car looks sweet btw, keep up the great work!
