    Bargain! I remember back in the day, there was a silk violet Gsi that had slats added to the bumper - they used a Zafira bumper iirc - looked ace!

    I did have a quick look online for a standard slatted grill but nothing really useable came up. Il look at the Zafira tho, see what it’s like. The only thing is tho is I’m not painting or using filler so it must attach fairly easily as I cannot cover any holes or fittings etc

    Well cheap that carpet, never had a car that'd pull off the blue or red carpets though

    So switched over to the GTE servo today, have to say I can feel the difference on the pedal, much firmer at the end of its travel.

    Thought it was in my head but it definitely pulled me forward more when braking. You get so used to pressing hard on the brake to get them working on these cars!!

    So got the pressure washer this weekend to test the theory that I could strip the paint from the bumper. I have to say it did a pretty good job of stripping it off. It wasn’t perfect and did leave a small bit of paint and primer behind.
    So it was a case of carefully rubbing with some nail polish remover. Again it wasn’t easy and did fade in places so out came the heat gun. Gave it a quick pressure wash and then went all over with heat. Once finished I rubbed on some bumper gel.
    This is the final result.

    Managed to pick up this spare wheel for my Astra sport alloys, only £30 and still has the original unused Michelin tyre.


    Ideally want to repaint the wheels back to this colour but is there a particular silver used on these?
