Cheers for the comment Shaun, really appreciate it Atm, the gaitors aren't in properly as my bro has lost his staple gun, so we're going out tomorrow to pick 1 up to fit it properly. I can't use my car until Saturday because my mum and dad are away until then, and im only allowed to drive it with them at the side of me, so just fitted it, and will be stapling/glueing it tomorrow

Yea like my bro said Shaun,i ran out of staples so just bodged it for now.I didn't think to glue it on,i stapled mine in my corsa but glueing would probs be neater

Looking good aswell Luke,alot better lower and good job on the calipers and drums.

Next up we are spraying his handles and boot lock gloss black,so we'll get photos up tomoz

White in my opinion. Wouldn't have em black tbh, only other thing I'd do is leave em silver till you got new wheels

Cheers Raz!

It is a really,really big help having him When he first got his Corsa he did alot of things he regretted but now knowing how everyone likes them it's easy to do on mine

I reckon we'll redo them in silver then Sean,keep it with the clean look and they'll look good in front of the red calipers

Yep silver it is then,will look good

They'll be ok on the car for now untill he gets his slabs

Another thing we'll be doing is tinting the rear lights red like mine so it splits the black up abit
