flaming! hey i remember you from my days on corsa sport site. :thumbup:
new i had saw them pis of the cars before.

 

[flamingcorsa]

flaming, do u know where the guy got the seat airbag from??? also how did u stick the airbag compartment back togther??

the seat air bag came from airbagsforsale.com, or something like that! around £60-70 it cost them

its a comple unit, just drill a revit out and fit new one and wire up, easy with the seat cover off!

i bought a new seat cover from renault for around £150 cos wanted seat to look like is should!

Great work on all of them, v impressed. Think you should keep the 197 though, don't give it to your mum, you'll only regret it haha!

i am hoping to keep the clio, i just gotta remember its a nice practical fun car and not compare it to vx, exige or van which is hard, cos the vx has almost twice the power to weight of the clio so when going from vx to clio it feels slow!

picked up a cup splitter today from renualt looks nice, just gotta fit it next

Looks like a gd job on the clio, those corsas arent to my liking but seen that jagcorsa before, saw the making of it somewhere but not sure where.

Would be useful if you were close, would definately be asking you to do some repairs/ spraying on my 197 at the moment - three yrs of hard driving hasnt bode well on the front bumper.

wow smashing work. pardon the pun. that pearlecent paint on the corsa. the VX220 looks awesome too
