- The Combo van gets some front end modifications, including projector headlights from a Corsa C and I fit a modified bonnet (hood - for the Americans). Makes the Combo look so much more aggressive!

Nice job. Suits the van. Always enjoy the videos as I have a combo myself and your videos have helped me loads when iv done jobs to my own.👍
Thanks for the kind words 👍
Got myself a 1.7cdti combo 60plate. Looking to do some bits to it and give her some life back. Loving your videos man
Looks mean and love the lights looking good 👍
Thank you.
One other thing. You corrected "Arctic White" with "Glacier White" text on your vid, but the Vauxhall Corsa C/Combo Glacier White = Opel C Casablanca White = Vauxhall Corsa D Arctic White. They're all paint code Y474.
Ha ha, so they are all the same shade of white? Typical of vehicle manufacturers to have the same product called 3 different things.
@@RustLocker Yes, GM find a white they like and they sure stick with it (I think their Z20R black sapphire is similar). Opel usually gives a different name *and* code to the same paint shade, but I didn't want to confuse things. Except I just did.
When you said corsa Sri springs for the front isit the corsa d Sri your referring to?? Thanks
Hi mate any chance you could do a video on removing the door cards? Tried to remove mine today to upgrade the speakers, removed all screws, removed the mirror casing but couldn’t get the door cards to move at all 🤦🏼♂️
Funny you should mention it, I’m doing and filming a speaker upgrade now. Should be done next week. But door cards have torx screws - behind mirror/tweeter cover, in the arm rest , behind the handle, and 2 at bottom of door. There’s a cir clip to take out of window winder handle, then the window seal needs to pull out... then you can pop off the door cards same way the mirror cover popped off.
Looks good mate how much was the lights I really like them in ur next video can I see them on . Great vid mate
I got them on eBay for about £30 each, you have to keep an eye out for good ones, a breaker yard sent me a shockingly bad one and had to send it back.
Yeah I’m goin to have to keep my eyes open for them they look mad mate
In future vids, tell people to click on the bell icon, too. I'm subscribed but forgotten the notifications bell - so now I'm going to watch your SRi alloy refurb that I had no idea had been uploaded. Pity you sprinted through the proj light swap. I bought a good pair - from a breaker - for £9 total, but funked the swap. Partly because I drive mine in UK and EU, and the reflector lights don't spill so bad on the wrong side, but mostly because fiddling with the wiring put me off. BTW, you'll find that some bulb changes which were a doddle on the old lamps will be keyhole gynaecology with the new ones.
I like the bonnet (I also saw a vented, fibreglass smart job but someone got in before me). Does the interior cladding make the cabin less diesel rattly? And are you getting more windrush noise with that lift?
Funny you should say that, I’m working on a separate short video just on removing and replacing the headlights. Yea, future bulb changes will be a bumper off, lights out job, I haven’t got the elf hands required. Not sure what you mean by cladding though?
No extra wind rush noticeable btw.
@@RustLocker Your previous bonnet had a painted metal underside (1.3CDTi? They mostly are metal) whereas mine (1.7DTi Soviet tractor) has a lot of sound-deadening under the lid. I thought your new one had a lot of plastic, apart from the vents/poppers but maybe I was mistaken and it was black-painted metal. Incidentally, I'm not one for detailing under the lid myself, but I'd've thought the previous owner would have run a bit of gloss around the edges he cut: lesson 1 in rust prevention.
