Yeah, it's nice but it comes out under an angle, so I think it's a MK1 backbox. I want my backbox to come out 90 degrees on the rear bumper. As straight as possible and I bought a new stainless steel system with 3" tailpipe last year, see page 7...

Cheers mate, it'll do for the time being...

No mate, then I'll need to fix the side, fill the tow bar hole and sort the bracket. Bought a genuine GSi bumper in Donny, Stu picked it up for me!

Pickup this nice box on my way back from Techno Classica in Essen yesterday.

In it was a new Valeo radiator

Techno Classica in Essen was great, some good inspiration, seen some stunning cars. There was even a Corsa A on display at the Opel stand.
Niek shot some piccies, hope he'll share them with us asap!

Also ordered new car mats, picked up two samples to check the colour as the company that makes them is only 3km away from my house. Tried the two samples and decided to go for the anthracite one as the grey one was matching the carpet but I think it'll be difficult to keep them clean...

More parts to be picked up on Wednesday as I'm travelling to Germany then.

Cheers!
