horrible wheels and mirrors, paintwork was shoddy and rust on the arches.
picked this interior up off ebay,

i didnt just want to slap my number plate just anywhere so i made a number plate reccess using a mk1 clio bumper,

[Martingsi]

sorry about the huuuuge pics

[Dar]

I think that turned out very nice :thumb: Nice one.

[boyle_46]

looks to be done to a good quality finish but imo i would of kept the standard boot with the spoiler and got a proper grill , but it's your car mate and fair play for putting the time and effort into it ! . Nath

[Martingsi]

that reminds me im still to put the spoiler on! haha, i wanted something a little different, ive always got the gsi boot in my shed anyway

[vaughanmc]

Looks awsome mate, only needs a spoiler now and some mudflaps to finish it off :)

[conad]

car looks stunning mate, i really like it. and i agree with the whole origional boot and grill idea, keep up the good work

[chris gsi]

not normaly a fan of smooth boot's but with the way the bumbers done for the number plate it all looks like it was a option from factory keep up the good work:thumb:

[belly257]

like it mate good going:thumb:

[LaurentGSi]

Nice project!

Same colour as my corsa:)

[nov4801]

very nice mate love the back end with the smooth boot and the back bumper

[wilson_sri]

Very nice mate, cracking job. I usually hate smoothed boots myself, but that looks good with the number plate recess in bumper. Spoiler should finish it off nicely.

[brucer]

agreed with the spoiler.get another pic up with it on.should change the whole back end.looks abit bare.

[7ova]

looks tidy mate!
any other plans?

[Martingsi]

fiiiinnaaally got my spoiler on, after like 3 months of it being finished...

Nice price on the coilovers

[Dave.]

spoiler looks spot on dude :thumb:, defo keep it, not a gsi otherwise lol

[Mazz]

Looks really smart dude, not 100% on the wheels, there are much nicer Vauxhall wheels then those imo

[staggy_gsi]

not too keen on rims either but on a whole, spot on!
