After owning my Corsa for a little over a year. I decided to part company to get an Astra... the car I've wanted for some time now!!
Pic of me Corsa named Hopper!
The new Astra named Amelia!!
Only a few subtle changes so far:
Smoked side repeaters
Upgraded headlights to match LED's
To do:
Interior lighting
Calipers painted
Tinted windows further than what they are now
Tinted rear lights
Possible tuning box
& thinking optional black alloys 19"
Upgraded bulbs to match LED's

i will get this done at some point it is just finding one complete
there are a few around but without the other bits there not worth the bother
the only issue is the fogs and indicators as i have both and the Tec line only has one.
now i have seen one in silver its moving up my list of thins to do.

Quite simple mate,
Just buy the plastic mouldings that have the hole for the fog light.
I asked while in the dealership today where do the front fogs go and he said they are round ones (the same as the facelift MY12) that sit under the indicator.

looking at that picture my fist thought is the fog light surly will fit in the light unit it is big enough
i would put the fog to the right were the indicator is so the fogs point forward
and the indicator to the left looks like they both will fit in there.

You can fit the facelift bumper to the pre-facelift so I can't see this being any different and I will be fitting later down the line.

New pedals
Waiting for the weather to turn nice to get my Calipers done.
Still waiting to get the spoiler done... thinking of getting dash vents and door handles done in metallic red, to set the red dials and spruce up the interior a little.
