Havent updated this in a while but bought some new stuff for the car, starting off with suspension changes:

Guages:

Switches:

Compressors and valves, there is another compressor inside the black box for quicker recharging of the tank:

Bags, just ordered 4 of these from USA so should be here in a few weeks:

Also have sorted the splitter and had a photo shoot since to hopefully be in Retro Cars.

Some of you may have seen but at the end of last year I had some pics taken By Si Gray after Retro Cars took intrest in my car. These were then sold to Retro Cars and they rang me about the feature. This was done and I waited to see in print. Hats of to future media as they sent me 3 copies and 3 large Retro Cars stickers.

Turned out really cool and love it tbh.

Cant really get how good it looks by these pics but its still in the shops.

Re Lowering springs for the Corsa, I bought a pair of Beehive springs from this lot, Unit3Tuning, the springs are -100, but come with adjustable platforms, so it makes the ride height infinatly adjustable, I knew of the availability of the adjusters, but could never find any, so I approached this lot, and for £49,00 I received a pair of springs and adjusters on my doorstep in about 4 days,
