Update 19/4/13
Had a parcel delivered today ....



And in it was ....


My new Corsa Sri spoiler
Out with the old ...


And on with the new


Was incredibly easy to fit, much easier than fitting a Corsa b one, few pics to finish off











Really chuffed with it only ordered it on
Thursday aswell.
Thinking about de badging and de wipering the rear, thoughts?

Last but not least picked these up going on at the end of next week
My brand new FK coilovers



That's all for now. Thanks for looking g

28/4/13 Update
Been looking through eBay at Corsa c bits and saw an irmscher splitter for sale so 200 miles later I'm the owner of a splitter just needs spraying and glueing up.
Hopefully get it fitted before PVS
Pics




Do these just glue on or screw on ?

Bought these aswell


Fitted these aswell, will be painting the drums when the weather improves soon hopefully

That's all for now

Nice choice for the splitter. All it will need then is the Sri mirrors and wheels, but then again you may as well of bought an Sri

Who you getting to spray it? Let me know if you want it wrapping lol
