Re: Arden 1.2 16v
Bought a corsa sport full airdam kit to boot, it's actually a car I owned previously and I'm sure there's a pic of it somewhere in this thread [emoji38]
Collecting tonight hopefully if the ambulance isn't away I'm like a kid in a candy store, so excited to drive a corsa again

If it doesn't fit,

If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Arden 1.2 16v
Seller found the key took it for a run and I'm now deaf from lack of a mid or back box [emoji38] got some odd looks with no bumper on but engine is strong and pulls like a train, can't decide now whether I keep both and fit my c20ne into my original

Re: Arden 1.2 16v
Anyone fitted an irmy double D box to a corsa? It seems far too long to be able to get the pipe bent over the axle

Re: Arden 1.2 16v
Yeah think they came on the cav or vec b but I've seen them fitted to a b , I've even seen it fitted to this car but mocking it up it looks like it's going to bash the axle and the tank

Re: Arden 1.2 16v
Mocked up the irmy box with my sportex to see what I was trying to achieve
Size difference is just massive even with making a custom mid pipe I think it'll bash everything once lowered
So for the mean time I bodged the sportex box on so I can drive it about the yard

Re: Arden 1.2 16v
Fitted my other bumper to the sport till I get the irmy bumper repaired
Didn't line up right having broke it during removal so used these genuine corsa parts
And got it fairly close
Also fitted depos and De restricted the air box
Just need to get the exhaust sorted and book it in for testing

Re: Arden 1.2 16v
Started with putting interior together because everything is just sitting in place or one screw holding it
Started with center console, forgot to take a before pic but there was no radio or mfd and heater panel was in the boot
Finished like this
Then moved to getting speakers in but didn't get finished, found this though
No idea why someone would do that but got it all tidied and ran wires for 6x9s
Hopefully get time to go at it tomorrow evening again and get the boot and seat belts finished up
Just a random pic of my bumper shelf aswel [emoji38]
