Awesome job mate, however do keep an eye on those rotors as they are drilled and they tend to develop cracks on the surface, you dont want to find yourself pressing the brakes one day and having one of the rotors explode on you.... its a nasty feeling up your gut...

Otherwise you have done some fantastic work to the car, I like the mudguards, as well as the wheels, but what kind of suspension upgrades have you done<?  New shocks/struts?

Thanks for the comments buddy  :)

As far as the discs go i have been drilling my own discs for years now and never had any cracking issues as i dont actually drill all the way through  ;)

The suspension was completely renued with new springs and dampers all round as well as drop links front and anti roll bar bushes at both ends all with genuine GM stuff as i get staff rates from my dealer  :y :y
