    Vehicle : Facelift Insignia/Corsa D

    Trim : LE/VXR

    Engine : 2.0 cdti/1.6 Turbo

    Year : 13/07

    Default Project run about

    Most of you will know this car as Gazza's car and some will also know I have done ALOT of work to this car over the past year or so. So when Gary said he was thinking of selling up I had to buy it from him

    She's done nearly 160k and the flywheel is u/s but apart from that everything else is spot on.

    As the car will be on second car/run about duties i've decided to de-mod her a bit and sort a few of the niggles out.

    Here's what I started with today

    It's a bit of a mix mate, the wind deflectors have gone onto the IS3, some bits are going onto Gary's new motor and the rest will be binned/sold

    I do love the opel grilles, but looking at the revised front, the VX chrome grille suits very well with chrome backed headlights.

    You're right, I was going to fit Sri front lights but looking at the chrome ones I think they look pretty cool

    Car is coming along great m8. I ahve to say I do miss the old girl but as Khalisd says it's gone to a good owner. She looks well smart with the chrome lights and original grille.
