**Chris.** · 06-01-2010, 10:11 AM

Sounds like you are progressing quite well, nice touches......

But at least lower it 40mm when you stick some alloys on it, Corsa's tend to be rather 4x4 without!

gareth9989 · 06-01-2010, 11:23 AM

Cheers bradders will do
chris, just lower the back or both 40?

**Chris.** · 06-01-2010, 12:18 PM

Front and back mate, springs cost around 60 quid or 40 second hand from here.

gareth9989 · 07-01-2010, 05:38 PM

leds, indicators and grill has arrived, hope the snow f**ks off for sunday

gareth9989 · 10-01-2010, 01:21 PM

despite the on/off snow i got me speakers

got my stealth shelf (99p

)

with pre-cut holes

fitted them together

hunted for the original speaker wire

and found it

fitted it all together and it sound awesome

(ignore the string it holds my seat covers nice and tight)

also got some smoked indicators, the dont fit very tight tho, any 1 know any good sort of glue or something just to firmly attach them with?

now she just needs a good clean....mabie later

**SteveO** · 10-01-2010, 01:27 PM

My black smoked indicators didn't fit too well either. Just wouldn't click in place! I suggest getting hold a small file and file away in small areas where it's refusing to go in, until it decides to go in.

EDIT: Unless you mean they're too slack?

gareth9989 · 10-01-2010, 01:30 PM

yea there too slack lol some 1 could probably walk past and just pull them off....

**SteveO** · 10-01-2010, 01:31 PM

Hmm. I'd just glue the buggers in place! lol

gareth9989 · 10-01-2010, 01:36 PM

yh, just like super glue :S or is there a special car glue lol

Suppose you could use that rubber stuff, where if you ever wanted to take them off/change them you could just peel the glue off?

Not aware of any special car glue lol

gareth9989 · 10-01-2010, 01:42 PM

rubber stuff? :S lol ill just super glue it

twigondrums · 10-01-2010, 03:16 PM

Where did you get your stealth shelf from and why so cheap?

Ps. looking good!

gareth9989 · 10-01-2010, 03:20 PM

ebay

was £10 for delivery lol

**ryanhughes** · 10-01-2010, 03:27 PM

shelf looks tidy mate

ive got the same problem with my side reps, i think im gonna but some smoked ones then possibly put a small amount of tiger seal on them the hold them

**Vegas** · 10-01-2010, 03:36 PM

I have had 5 sets of ebay, every set(different sellers) have nee to slack, gf bought one set fitted perfectly, I nicked one of hers when she had previous car, forgot to get other before was sold!
So now going to buy proper smoked ones from vaux cost about £15 but least fit right

Are they off a web site? If so (and they look good) can you share with us the web page?
Lol
cheers

gareth9989 · 11-01-2010, 06:35 PM

Ok so I put the car in to get the exhaust rattle stopped, and I found out that it had previously been bodged with clamps and other crappy stuff lol so I'm waiting for a bit of pipe so my mechanic mate can weld it all back together

Bit of a shock as I thought it was just a bit loose lol
