Its getting closer..

My recently imported C5 has been complied...

On Thursday the factory wheels are coming off....then she's getting new Bilsteins, z06 sways, drilled and slotted rotors, braided brake hoses and painted callipers.

It's also getting the Vararam fitted, the Corsa Xtreme fitted..

Rear window will be tinted..car lowered...oh and cant forget the column lock bypass..And finally those BSM's are coming off..

Has other stuff like smooth red rail covers, braided hoses, chrome oil catch can, stainless this and that...radiator screen, cool it relay, fangs etc etc

And radioflyer LED halos and clear DRL's with LEDs

Spent some time today putting Zaino on my CCWs

Will be looking somewhat different in a week or so

Yes, please post pics when you have everything installed. I'd love to see the engine with the braided hoses on it; that's something I have in mind for my own.

I'm definitely in for pics. Seems many of you had luck with Austin. I tried multiple times over the course of a month and had no luck.

Post up those pics!!

Back on the ground with sways, shocks, rotors, braided lines and Corsa on..Now off to get BSMs removed and hopefully not needing paint....Then CCWS to be fitted and ride height tweeked (its already gone down somewhat)

Then fitment of all the other bits and pieces..Nothing more exterior wise cept for radioflyer halos and front LEDs and rear window tint...mainly the under hood stuff next
