went to fit the rear on, but when i removed the mesh i noticed all the mounting clips have been cut/snapped off, so will need to get some adhesive to glue the rear on one.

Good site to try on things before you buy them :)
It's got proper fog light vents, but the originals have blanking plates in them like mine has, but are usually black and not painted White...
Alot of people cut the backing out and use it as a proper vent - that's what I ment

looking so much better ste now your getting it back original
they are a great car to own ill have to try and get to a nort west meet in the gf car
oh and just got rid of one of them flocked dashes
Mate used to have an S2 106 Rallye.
Awsome track car, what it lacked in straight line speed it certainetly made up for it in handling.
Here is a few pics before he sold it.

Martin
Its coming along niceley Ste :) get them rocker covers off & polished or painted tho ;)
Martin, your mates one looks a fine example!!
Cheers raymond :)
gutted about the flocked dash, if only i had know, would of had that
Mike - i want to get the later black plastic JP4 cover's, look miles better, and dont leak like the GTi one's :lol:
Martin - THAT IS STUNNING!!, if only mine was half as good as that :(
i'm sure i've seen it on the rallye register, love the wheels, suit it down to the ground
Think he did sell it to somebody on Rallye register few years ago.
Built it with the aim to do a track day every month or so, but the costs were too much.
Couldnt then warrant the cost of a car sitting in the garage doing nothing so sold it. Was a real shame as was built to really high standard.
Yea wheels are nice. Fancied them for the Nova but dont do an offset anywhere near close enough!
Thats right near where I work now. Does your Corsa C sometimes get parked on the carpark round the back of the train station as thought I spotted it on grey wheels the other day?Quote:

mines a daily driver, so not really going for looks on it, as it wouldnt stay that nice, only 10min drive to work, so not fussed about the noise
use the misus corsa c, for long distance etc lol

do you work in Altrincham now?
Yeah, Oakfield Road. I park there, work in Station House.
ahh, take it you jump on train to hale then?
No, Station House is right across the road from Altrincham station. No public transport for me unless its a total last resort although the daily commute is a bit of a nightmare :cry:Quote:

Thats the one. Poor Corsa is doing more miles in a week than it used to do in a month!!
lol - dont think i've seen your corsa yet, so thats why i've never noticed it before
so that why you want a new comfy car due to mileage you have to do now
Not fussed about it being comfy as I would probably ruin that by lowering whatever I bought anyway lol
Just want something a bit newer for a change.......
new car's are alright, i like driving the corsa, but perfer my older car's, without pas etc etc, more fun
but i suppose you got the mr2 and nova turbo for fun
I've driven an mk4 Astra GSi and it was ok but not great, think Civic Type R is where its at for the next car.
the astra's handling is ment to be really good with suspension mod's and a whileline rear arb, ment to feel so mich better, and with a remap it would be sorted
civic's are good, not drove one yet, mate got a black one i want a go off, might of seen it parked outside of the nationwide garage (he work's there lol)
oh, and you'll have to find somewhere else to park in a few month's, that car park will be gone, as they are building a huge shopping center on it, going to take about 4 years to do i think
