Reet was helping my mate Pip all day today started at about 10:00am ish and finished about 9:00pm ish.
And here is what we got done with his new white nova.
Started off with de badging the boot.

Slowely followed by rolling parts of the arches to fit his 16'' vaux rims and fitted them.

Then we stripped the car out of it's old pov spec interior but the dash.

Fitted the rear GSi arch carpets.

Followed by GSi rear seats.

Next came the ballache which was the dash so out it came for the GSi dash to take over!

In the mean time we had been spraying his boot grab handle black to match the bumpers etc..

Why so hard? Dash swap is easy, even easier if you're staying Mk2...
Front bumper looks good on yours!
Would it not have been easier to fit the alarm with the dash off too? :) Nice bit of progress anyway. :thumb:

Because we left all the cr4p in the car well changing dash so it was just a mess and hard to find bits lol

Yeah bumper looks mint you can't see the crack under it which i am thinking of getting a splitter anyway. But can see the 1 in the mid section but i don't care it sets the car off nicely.
No he will get carcraft to Re-Fit his cat1 alarm again soon for 20 quid.
Nice work getting all those bits swapped around so quickly.
Gsi front looks well
Well because their was 2 of us i could get on with a job well he was getting on with a job which cut a bit of time.
The thing that actually took the longest was getting my front bumper off lol!
So many clips/screws, so little time.
