    Good stuff, seems a good solution. Annoyingly there are ABS sensors in the Corsa B SRi disc rear hubs I am using, but some numpty (i.e. me) cut the wires off flush during installation.

    So I re-adjusted my oil cooler to clear the radiator and my grille no longer fitted. Figured now is a good time to get a new grille on it. @total_vauxhall on here was kind enough to provide and gave a great tip to create an even quicker front end removal... M8 tap ran down the plastic pegs



    And it magically bolts to the bumper



    It's a bit floppy but it happily sits where it should without any additional fittings



    2k primed and painted it up in the garden



    Halfords finest mesh to provide the clearance required on the oil cooler


    Bish bash bosh all comes off in 10 seconds on four R-clips

    So I've installed some Sabelt 6 point harnesses this weekend. However I've never liked the interference between the lap belt buckles and the seat holes, so I've moved all the mounting points backwards. Loads better.

    Sills were the harder ones, I prepped some spreader plates and found a suitable size holesaw to allow me to sink the nuts into the sills flush. Crotch straps were a simple case of drilling and fitting spreader plates in the correct location.













    Tunnel eye bolts were moved back a few inches too



    Can see the improved clearance of the adjusters here, perfec'
