When i start the bodywork, the wings wont take long at all, will be quicker to get them smooth than taking them off and putting on new ones lol

Just realised I need a splitting rear bench for the calibra leather. Looking for a passenger side mudflap aswell, might just take the other one off if can't find one soon

Ive stripped the corsa rear seat and the calibra one, then ripped all the foam off the corsa frame, took ages! Then hot glue tacked the the frame onto the calibra frame until i got all the clips on, was a struggle. But now with sore fingers its all on! Feels so much nicer and looks so much better than just putting the leather onto the corsa foam!

Also decided to start trying up the calibra rear cards but got carried away and ending up fitting one. Looks amazing! Also put one of my speakers onto it behind the grill so it looks oem. Wired it down and along the car and up to the head unit.

My corsa also came without the speakers in the boot panels so fitted one in aswell, still got the other side to do and fit a amp to power them. Heres pics:

Boot panel speakers:



Calibra rear card speakers:





Calibra seat fitted:



Calbira seat and rear card:









So pleased with the result

yeah not by a lot though, grinded the bottom lip off and about 20 - 30mm off where it sits against the b pillar, took a while though as i was grinding like 3 - 4 mm and a time and checking it. Then once it fitted, drilled a few holes and screwed it on, so i can take it off again in the future.

Started the top half of rear bench, decided to just got for the solid bench rather than splitting. Went on really well, i just split the seats and used the calibra foam and leather on the corsa frame again.

Back showing its a solid bench:



From inside:













Still have the passenger seat to do but will do it tommorow.
