Corsa B Blue More Door

Nothing too interesting, just gave the tyres a good scrub down. Washed them, foamed them up and sprayed on some tyre shine. Just shitty Wilko's £2 stuff. Complete shite but they look better than before lol. I need to get some proper tyre gel I think.

Just a small update. Got my tweeters in the post yesterday from Richie.

The door handle covers needed some modification to allow them to fit but with a patient process involving a stanley knife I finally managed to get both of the holes large enough to house the tweeters.

Bit of a bodge but they don't look too bad

Pretty happy with my interior now to be honest. Some real leathers would be nice but I can't really afford them and I tried undoing the bolts on my front seats before and they definitely weren't going anywhere

Anyway, some pics:

Found quite a good photo spot at an industrial estate nearby but it would appear as though my camera is shit at night, my photography skills are limited when I'm pushed for time and the car is dirty and in dire need of a polish lol...






Should have my blue LED rear foglight and headlight switches at the end of next week.

Also ordered some Bonnet Struts yesterday.

Just a quick pic taken a couple of days ago...




Got a replacement rear bumper delivered today. Not in amazing condition but better than what I currently have. Heat gunned it, then gave it a real quick wipe down with some baby wipes.

Will wash, clay, polish and wax it properly at some point when I do the rest of the car.












Before:




After:




Much better Brings it all together and makes the car look much tidier as opposed to all of that dodgy colour coding and flakey paint in my opinion.


Plans now look something like this:

• Fit bonnet struts[/*:m]
• Fit LED switches[/*:m]
• Black hammerite the heatshield[/*:m]
• Black hammerite the battery tray[/*:m]
• Blue hammerite the calipers[/*:m]
• Give wheels another coat of white[/*:m]
• Wash, clay, polish and wax[/*:m][/list:u]

just realised you only live round the corner from me lol seen the car a few times its looking good

not keen on the wheels to be honest but thats just my opinion.

Bumper looks alot better top job!

The tweeters i did slightly different to you did they wire up ok?

Yeah does look better. The couriers have chipped and damaged it to shit though so am in the process of tearing them apart and getting some sort of compensation/refund.

Yeah but I feel that you can't really get much more out of a set of 13" steelies lol.

Bumper does tidy it up but like I said above, it got quite badly chipped in transit.

Tweeters wired in fine cheers I haven't secured them very well though, just a bit of a bodge job at the moment but they're wired in and working fine which is the main thing

i did them this way and they looked good (ill delete the picture after you have seen it with it being your project log)

Yeah but it was taking ages to cut the holes out as I was only using a stanley knife (I don't have a file ) and so couldn't be arsed with having to take off even more lol.

Once I sort them properly they shouldn't stick out as much and will hopefully look a bit better. But they're fine for the time being
