Looks lovely from the outside, not too sure on that harness bar for safety though.

Good to see a black Dutch GSi that is actually on the road... isn't it Niekos? LOL

[Benn]

Welcome, love the out sides looks great. Tinted headilghts look cool.
THe rear brace will work much better if bolted/welded to the turret body, rather than the shock tops.

[L33 LEG]

Love the look of that!

[novag51]

Been a while since my last update... been enjoying the car! ;)

Took delivery of a T7 designs 2.2kW micro heater & aux. in-line blower today.
Finally I can bin the crap vauxhall/opel supplied the nova/corsa with. And save a little bit of weight at the same time.

[Iain]

Blower looks good, just need to duct it from that huge tube part?

[Krsa2000]

Yep!

I'll be ripping all the OEM stuff out and have the blower ducted to the front window vents and side vents on the dash (for the side windows)
The aux inline blower will be used when no heat is required.

[Iain]

Oh that second pic is a cold blower, nice! I'll be honest I don't really miss the cold blowers in mine when the window opens. Nice product.

[Krsa2000]

I normally drive with the windows open too, but when it's pissing it down I prefer the windows up [emoji6]

[LeonStr]

Looking good!

Ben je ook al aangemeld op het Corsa A forum? (corsaa.forum2go.nl)

[Krsa2000]

Ik heb ook een account op de corsa a forum, ik kom er alleen niet regelmatig omdat ik voornamelijk tapatalk gebruik om forums bij te houden.

[Vlietje]

Guys, talk English please! Thanks!

[Krsa2000]

Sorry... 🙊
