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 :D
If it doesn't fit,
force it,

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

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

Mocked up the irmy box with my sportex to see what I was trying to achieve Image

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

Fitted my other bumper to the sport till I get the irmy bumper repaired Image
Didn't line up right having broke it during removal so used these genuine corsa parts
Image
And got it fairly close
Image
Also fitted depos and De restricted the air box

Just need to get the exhaust sorted and book it in for testing

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
Image
Then moved to getting speakers in but didn't get finished, found this though Image
No idea why someone would do that but got it all tidied and ran wires for 6x9s Image

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]
