Well i'm bored so I have tried making some super touring badges from vinyl Flying Chips FTW. Saw LukesCorsaSXi had some on his car, they look pretty good

Shall I put them on my car or not? They are in the same florescent vinyl as the rest of my sticks are bits on my car.

Alot of people have said they liked my old wheels, but to be fair I can't go any lower than about 60-65mm on those old ones. They are going soon already have a buyer lined up just waiting on cash. Besides I don't fancy having more wheels to shift again haha

Hehe thanks Luke, I've put them on the car now and they do look good. But have to say they looked great on your black B.

Kinda an update, but you guys may or may not have noticed but I fitted a whiteline rear ARB about a week ago. You should be able to see a florescent yellow bar under my car in those photo's above.
Handling wise, it has improved quite a bit. It's best when you are doing 40+ and better at national speed limit.

I will update with photo's of fitting it later.

Also some of you may be pleased, i've cut my own corsasport sticker in my colour and it's on my window. Showing support for both clubs haha.

Well I'l be honest here. I haven't polished it since Trax!

I did clean it they day that was taken but I think it's half the camera's doing there making it look a bit more shiny than it really is.
Yeah the Slabs are very shiny the finish on them is amazing, shame the back on the rims are still silver.

Thanks for the comments guys

Ok guys a new update. Thanks to Mark AKA Generation.

I now have some Morettes

Started out like this, Minus the drivers side inner lamp. I also have the bumper indicators.








So I got these on Saturday around 2pm and had them apart and painted black by the end of the day.






Back of all 3 lamps were rusted to fuck, but luckerly only surface rust.


Hammerite anti rust primer to the rescue


A mix of rust and parts from the morettes.


Indicators and a set of rusty H4 Bulbs which came out of the morettes.


Once the primer had dried I wanted to paint the rear of the lamps black.


This lamp had come apart so use some silicon and glued it back together and left it to dry.



This is how they are for the moment. Plan is to use the lamps i've got and then buy a new set in the new year. The missing one will be an air feed for the time being.
Hopefully will have these in sometime this week or latest will be the weekend.

Cheers all,

Comments please

Thanks Luke, now i'm just a bit undecided with how to paint the GSI bumper.
Half code or fully colour code. My brother has a photoshop photo with the morettes. I will post it up tomorrow.
