looking good that

Headlights are different because of the V-grille (94-98)and earlier grille (91-93) are different shapes. Just get a headlight off a J-L reg car, this type:



Not this type:



Bit soft considering it's just 2 cm?!

Paint looks lovely!

Hi there. Been looking through this post as used to love the gsi's (still do) and enjoying following your great progress. But are you leaving al the black bits (spoiler vents grill) in black? Just thought they made it look a bit "boy racer using cheap bits" to be honest.

No chief I have duplicate parts to swap when I need em, also have the original alloys which I'm using on my corsa at the moment.
Spraying the grill black was lazyness on my behalf.
All parts are original. (apart from the steering wheel).

Grrrrrrrrrrr
Went to vauxhalls yesterday, got 2 new badges, 16 new clips (for bodykit) and a jetwasher nozzle (for rear spoiler) which came to £50. Fair enough, I knew the badges would be costly but had to have them.
What annoyed me was the rear bumper number plate lights were £18.95 EACH! Sod that!
Also, they don't stock or make the foglamps anymore or the front headlamp spray nozzles and the darn leads I need for the traction control & abs can only be bought if buying a whole new loom for the car!!! surely that carnt be right?
Fumin!
Got anew screen and mirror fitted for the t of £95 thanks to the lads at Wirral spares

He hasn't got time for that summer. He's got his car to sort...

Lol
Well this owes me £2900 now and still counting, oh and just bought 4 tins of gloss black for a tenner so £2910 lol
Not assed though because I'm keeping it

The rear bumper lights are the same as the Calibra bumper lights. There's a couple of them in Queensferry scrappy on Welsh Road/A550.

You can see them here:



They are shite, they seem to go yellow and break when you take them out.

Thanks for that dave, appreciate that
Only want new ones due to the old ones being yellow (as you said)

Do you know where I could get my abs and tc leads from?

Abs...

Just get an ABS sensor off any 90's Vectra/Astra mk3. 50 quid is a lot!

Phil it's not the abs sensor it's the wire loom which goes from it to the main loom (detachable wire with socket at each end) the brakes are spot on including abs and the traction controls working perfect (until the wire wrapped around driveshaft due to being loose)

Or what I should say is the brakes are still spot on but the abs and Tc lights on the dash are pissing me off.
