Flat spark plug cover
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimage.../flatcover.JPG

to use instead of my red opel cover, i plan on doing this with it as im painting rocker cover black, dont think the red will go well with it

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5034/DSC01524.jpg

black rockers, and red plug covers are just fine, thank you! :p lol

love the matt black, reminds me of school black boards!

lol, but you have to admit it, your old one look's **** hot, all black :cool:

i agree, i'd do it if i had a flat plug cover :p lol

mmmm

*goes to make a wanted post*

get the grinder on youe current one ;)

i want going to do the same, but too lazy lol

started sanding smooth cover down, - pic's of all three i own, smooth, vaux & opel

set of de-locked hand's from my donor cav

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5083/DSC00946.JPG

picked up another set of 22spline shafts - got 2 set's no, incase i happen to snap one

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5083/DSC00928.JPG

Yep, prepare for the worst

if i mange to break both set's, then i've got a set of equal lengh shafts to go on ;)

Put the equal length shafts on now :)

that mean's spending money, as i would need hub or carrier's modded and new barrings when i got 22 splines and cv's already

Fair enough,Lol.

alrite ste, still love this car. as i said before its so good for so little mod's. gets me thinkin everytime i see this car about getting one for myself. hoping an old granny wants to sell a mint, 1 owner from new which is still possible as they arent that old. anyway hope all is goin well with the corsa. will probly have another look in 3 months time lol

lol Cheer's mate :D
