Joe - the inner wing is the last place to put an ignition coil! All the sh*t off the road comes up from the tyres, and then you jetwash it off. . . I would not want to jet wash my coil on a regular basis. Sure way of having poor reliability!!

Perhaps on the bulkhead would be a better idea (near wiper motor), or behind it but as said you would need a long king lead

You could put washer bottle in inner wing - some vauxhalls already have them there!

Tbh after doing it, i wouldn't hide the tank, as it can be a ****.
But hiding it in the scuttle is the easer place.

Pm sent back,

So you want it like mine..lol

I would say just for ease leave the tank where it is, looms easy to do as is the washer bottle. Only annoying thing with the washer is you have to cut the plug off and soilder it back on for the pump, asless you move the engine loom too.

You could mount a Corsa header towards the back of the bay off of the bulkhead. Not hiding it but it gets the tank off of the inner wing which is what yu are trying to declutter. Polish/repaint & generally concourse the coil & it's bracket & that would look pretty damn neat next to freshly painted innerwings, turrets & chassis legs etc.

Master cylinder & piping may be an issue to get around, but on the other hand, could help hide that too.
