Nice one Dave, good bit of work that.
Put Calibra Turbo oil and battery gauge's down where your CD player wae
IIrc the bit of what you call cardboard is for the windscreen vents. It does look good but the rest needs painting.
Get it flocked!! Or pain it Sation black, It'll match better,
Not a bad bit of work
the pics do it no justice.. itll be staying like that for abit as i cannot be ****d re-painting it.. and it matches soo much better in the flesh
cheers for all the posotive and negative comments guys.. all feedback welcome lol :thumb:
I agree - will look ace flocked. Although looks pretty good just now...Quote:

still looking top fella. but reading back through some of it you are a jammy git...
not update dina week lol
got a spare sunroof out of a corsa the other day just incase it gets put through.. the crime atm is getting pretty requent...plus it was free lol
anyway with a little help with Mark (novacabrio) managed to trace my car back to tis original dealership, turns out it was from A.E.CLegg in Worchester, i knew i had no chance of getting an old dealer sticker, so managed to make a pretty decent one on the computer, took me a long time and is imo exactly the same as the old ones (or froma round the same time lol)

going to get a new car cover next week as mines been through the wars, full of holes etc plus with the winter coming want it covered up out of sight when im not there, allready had some chavs walkign round it, so i want it out of sight :thumb:
Corsa sun roofs dont fit novas do they?????
Are dealer stickers the new in thing to have with the kids???? Cos the first thing I ditch when I get a car are those! Even the SIPS sticker came off the volvo when I bought it. Looks awful.
Sorry dave, just my opinion :)
Edit: And is the L in Clegg supposed to be a capital??
just wanted it to look a little orignal leeQuote:

It looks nice, but CHANGE the exhaust!!!!! Then it will look that little bit more awsome! Sorry it just looks totally out of place.
Aye Dave, you want a 3" S/S Magnex like mines :)
I hope you don't mean A.E Clegg in worcester do you? thats where my 1.0 came from as ive got family up there and I believe 0905 was the area code, don't know if there is a worchester!? lol
