Number plates Are cheap too!

Just very much a "first car mod" it may well be your first car, just looks tacky. See it on the Corsa c Facebook page a lot. All the tacky mods are liked by people who have just bought their first car. You'll see the light eventually

Yeah its popular on Corsa b uk page as well, some of what i've seen looks dreadful to me.. everything in site on the dash is colour coded. I myself like just these done to add a bit of colour

Trust me, painted interiour parts wear very easily maybe not in a week but in a fairly short period of time they'll be marked and flake off etc especially when done with an aerosol despite how well you have done them it just doesn't stick very well or last

It's more that I don't want to spend money on number plates

I'll probably get some new ones as Christmas gift off someone

Wish I had the motivation to go outside and paint mine.. It just gets the odd wash and then lots of abuse!

Thanks

Ye the front needs another -30/40mm ideally, hopefully removing helpers will do the trick if not I'll get some TA technix coilovers they go much lower than FK's

also need to -
Fit laguna splitter once it comes
New plates
HID's
Colour code door handles
Gloss black bumper-tops & arches
Paint drums black

then i can move onto the inside which i have lots planned for
