after a couple more weeks the car needed some new tyres, so off came the 15's and on came some 14's and also some wind deflectors.

i still have more plans for it hopefully coming this year! mainly small mods tho.

big thanks to swiper for doing almost everything on car :p, big thanks to raceworx, big thanks to p11sr20.
 
Looking good. It's a couple of shades lighter! I'm sure it'll fade slightly tho! :)

Did u spray the whole thing or just the black parts?!
 
sold the si alloys to my mate, sorry dude.

ems i painted the job lot, i used some spare mirrors ive got off raceworxs old blue micra :p and the handles
 
small update, painted handles (not very good tho, need to do some more as the colour match is pants) and this might sound gay but i also had a go at painting the washer jets :p

just need some rear tints, black headlights, and painted front calipers me thinks :) and thats it for the outside! then its time to move on and tidy up the engine bay with some more paint.
 
looking good mate, if you spray your caliper let me know how you done it or even better do a guide :D
 
 
I've only just realised your sig says UKDM, i've been reading it as JDM for all this time!!

Car looks great mate :)

swap arms over (driver to the pass side) then get the blade from the stndard pass side and place it on the drivers arm witch is now on the pass side :) the move the arm a bit up the window (so it moves all the way to the driver side/sweeps the full screen) then tighten the bolt job done! :)

well the back is hard to do tint wise....i wouldnt want to do that..but def have another go urself mate at sides!!!

£6 at trago mills for the tint where as a professional tinting garage will charge around £150 i think for back and sides??? maybe abit more

up to you though mate!!!
 
my mate had his corsa done in sheffield all the windows (except the front obviouisly :p) £200, i was shocked how cheap that was, but still if i give it ago myself it will cost around £50 then extra on top for the rear window (proffesinal) :)
 
no cold air feed mate??

when u removed your rocker cover to spray it yellow.....when re-attaching it did you replace any sills for new ones?
use any sealent?
everything fitted back ok?

hows the wipe in the rain? mine seemed to be fine

no no caold air feed mate, need one tho but it dont really matter :p
yes i replaced the gaslet seal :p
yes i used a bit of sealent as it didnt seal right and leaked oil (sill does :p)
yes every thing fitted back ok apart from above..... and the wiper works ok, as said its a bit slow as its doing loads of work on its own... but its ok and drive able in the rain :)

that is expensive you muppet!!! lol :p liz only paid £150 on the N16, from spire tints.
have a word with me and i'll put you on to someone who can do it cheaper. he quoted me £25 for my rear screen. and he'll do the front sides aswell if you want. reputable companies wont usually touch the front side as they are illegal for road use (except very, very light tints which you'll hardly notice)
