By the firkin pub next to sainsburys, earlier on today, going the other way to me.

Welcome, give me a nod if you see me round brentwood way.

Not 100% true, silvervision still have a slight tint to them. Silvatec's are plain silver.

I use elf excellium gear, as per the book. My last car had silkolene in it, it was good stuff.

^ you think i'm going to change brake pads on the vee ? Lol, think again. I know how to change pads, but there's no way i'm messing around with that car ! There is no need to take the calipers off to paint them up, complete overkill.

Looks a lot beter than it did.

wheels are oz f1 cups, the centre caps are about £3 each from renault.

^ 200bhp, z20let engine 2.0 16v turbo (from the astra gsi) Badge worries you ? pfffttt !!!! That thing go at the back under the bumper ?

Maybe drop in a 172 engine & do a few mods to it ?? Ok it won't be turbo'd but your starting out with more bhp than a 1.8 16v (valver) engine.

^ that looks smart. Yellow clips look a bit hmmm though.

Cheers for all the info folks:) So much to read through. I might do it next sat if I get a chance, so it's looking spanking ofr the Mimms meet :cool:

No need to remove them at all, you can do just as good a job with a paint brush leaving them on the car.

try ebay, or powerbulbs.co.uk you need offset pin ones.

Or the dude was just playing with you & couldn't be assed to give it the beans ?

I knew i'd seen pics of that car on here before. Air brushing looks toilet imo.

^ I like the orange details on that, nice touch.

Liking the porsches & the clios. The seats look like mpv's, urgh !

I think he only wants to remove the wiper to paint the semi circle part, then he's putting it back on ?

^ You might want to come & tell that the bloody idiots round my with them. The lights look so god damm sh*te it's un-true & they blind you :mad: They don't even look like zenons FFS !!! Every morning I see a girl in a crappy part modded up five door 206 with her silly bright (and no doubt...

^ pmsl !

Good work there Ali. I never look under there, it can stay dirty.

Just out of interest what gains do they give ? Or do they just give better driveability ?

Part number is on here & it's quite expensive too.

I'd leave the semi circle bit alone tbh. It says on here how to remove the rear wiper.

I hate cleaning the wheels on the car, they are a mission & as said get really bad within a few miles. I did however clean the inside of the wheels when I had them off the other month, go me ;)

Cheers rich & riz :) Can you link me to that stuff please (I have no idea about it) I have the polish & sealant (the ones you mention) So i'm cool for those. No real swirls no, or defects. Paints pretty good, never been clayed up though (will see how much cack comes off on it) Do I wax then...

I'm liking that, a lot !

Just read all of this, looks like it's coming along really well. You have a lot of nice bit & touches. Can't wait to see it finished:cool: - ps, pics of that corsa please (can you do us a thread on it) What's it got under the bonnet 2.0 red top ?

Get a new switch, if it's not that you'll need a new electric window motor, probs get one from a scrappers (the switch too)

Tints are too dark for me.
