Standard GSI or a OPC grill would look better.

Just sent u2u corsa nut

Bonney, yes they do a honey Combe type Opc grill but very rare, and quite pricey when they do pop up too. Want to hold off spending on cosmetic bits for now as I might be putting this up for sale soon .

That said I did just brake the bank buying some insignia washer jets :d

Gave the car a quick clean today, also cleaned the underside of the bonnet as i have no plans on putting the soundproofing back (would be a bit silly with an engine sounding this good



Some engine bay pics







Some of the soundproofing on the fire wall was looking a bit tatty, and there was a couple of scuffs too which i gave a quick touch up with some satin black. It was pretty much hidden behind the inlet anyway but was showing up on pictures which was kind of annoying so had to sort it.

Very happy with how the engine bay looks now, just need to fit the bonnet lifters from the omega.

Just ordered a brand new Air flow meter for this as looks like the current one is slightly buggered (probably from the old k&n filter)

nice find that ^^^

I have just modified a standard grill, so will see how i like of it for a couple of weeks . If i get bored then will probably go for the honeycombe style

Here is another little update, not a major one, just a pic of the flat aero wipers i fitted a few months ago

I fitted some aero wipers to my astra ages ago, just lately though they seem to lift off the screen and rattle lately, really annoying to say the least without the music on

I would change them asap if i was you. The first set of aero wipers i fitted where cheap ones from tesco. I was unlucky enough for the drivers on to break and fly off going down the motorway which was very dangerous.
Couldn't have been happier the windows had already been treated with aquapel rain repellent otherwise seriously would have been up the creek.

Was a bit curious as to what the standard vauxhall grill painted matt black would look like, so give it a go on an old grill i had sat around.



Quite handy the silver bit just un clips, saving time on masking the rest of it off.




Gave it a quick rub down, sprayed with etch primer, then finished in satin black







Turned out better then i was expecting. Going to leave it for a couple of weeks and if it doesn't grow on me then will buy a honey comb style one. Quite liking this one for now though

These are proper vauxhall ones supplied from vauxhall themselves which is the annoying part

Just a small update on this. recently replaced all 6 spark plugs with new ones as could feel a slight missfire. Turns out i slightly under estimated how bad the old ones where. Forgot to get pics but they where in a terrible state. Has completely transformed how the car runs now so really happy with it

How time flys, just put this through another MOT. Only needed a new handbrake cable to get it through with flying colours. I almost got a bit pissed off for a minute as i thought i only fitted a new handbrake cable a few weeks ago, not long after i bought the car. Then i came on here to update my blog and was brought back to reality. As if its been 4 Years!!!!Daaaaam.

Corsa nut, can you remember what leds they where? I cant find nothing in my pm box as it was a while ago sorry. If you just let me know what leds you need and pm me your address i will get some sent

Or you could just save yourself the hassle and buy my Astra instead , which comes with pretty much every standard bulb on the thing already converted to led
