You may remember SKI talking about his car going away to be done a few months back. His car went to the above place near enough standard..... It was a RED Corsa B, and all that he had done to it was the Alloys and Rear Lights....... well if you look below you can see what it looks like now.....
New Front / New Back / New Sides / New Arches / New Spoiler / Smoothed Boot / Lowered 60mm / Flashing LED's / New Colour (Blue/Gold)..... May have missed something but Im sure he will be along to tell you..... - ALSO he tells me theres still more to be done 
Anyways heres some pics.......
More Pics can be found here - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/garage.php?action=usergarage&owner=Noonster19&carid=881&page=all
Please post here and let him know what you think
Cheers
Daz

bit harsh mate, all i could fault it on really was the spoiler, mirrors and fact that the wheels don't fill the arches. What are the plans for inside bud?

i think the car is very smart, apart from the spoiler. im not sure i like the tone of this thread so far. I belive after spending that amount of cash on a car i think the least you guys can do is give the lad a bit of credit. If you have, in your opinion, better cars then fine, but keep the amount of bitchiness to a minimum and respect the guy for the amount of money he has spent and the work that has been carried out.
Well done mate, top job

content from the posts that i thought created a bad tone to this thread has now been removed. if you dont like the car, fair enough, but insulting it is very far from just 'voicing your opinion'.
Thanks.

Not my cup of tea cos im into the more subtle look, but whatever floats your boat, if your happy with it thats all that matters! Its deffinately different from all those combat kitted corsas going around  Whats this place in rhydyfelin like then? Was going to book mine into the one behind AB styling but if this place does a good job and is cheaper, i might take a look into it, what other plans you got for it????

for personal reasons i need the car back quickly so i never got everything done but heres what wil be done eventually
the next thing will be in a few months when i take the car back down to them, there it will be getting a 4wd engine put in, dont know what there using as a donor though, then they are taking a mould of the front bumper as theres been people askign all the time whenit was in the shop and since i got it and wanting it, then its a the bonnet being done(not sure how yet), dehandled, petrol cap moved into the inside of b frame, roof smoothed apart from a roof scoop put in, new headlights (thinking of civic of bmw angle eyes), focus indicators in the top holes on teh bumper, cut outs made in the front wings, front and rear bumper modified slightly, new wing mirrors, new rear lights(not sure which yet), dual 3" exhaust on both sides, then the whole car smoothed, and window tints(thinking black but the one gradual fade int oones are supposed dto be nice), boot, doors, bonnet and wheels using hydraulics and that will be about it for the exterior, interior i was thining of going mental wit ha crazy sound system but i might just rip the dash out and have a custum one put in and a good quality install for sq install of db level, some seats from an audi a8 i think, as boss can get them cheap through work and just leather it all in white and blue trim which matches the exterior paint , and thinking about 18's or maybe 19's but not certain
i appreciate any comments on the car good and bad and ideas people have, all feedback is welcome

ahhhh up yours kev
some good plans there mate, but seriously
youve already spent shedloads of cash on it which you aint gonna get back from the car when you sell it. youre now preparing to spend yet more on it to make it 'better'
wouldnt you rather take that money and buy something of real quality rather than doing up a corsa?
for example an R32's for £6500 and R33's for 11500
im not sayin that yur car wudnt be minted when finished but you could get a serious car for the same cash that will earn you so much more respect at the end of the day
Keep us updated mate

i think its just the fact of using different bits on here as most the corsa you see about is the same kit everywhere and very few people seem to be trying new things, not looking for speed with the car, just something original which i like which will be comfy just to cruise in
in about a years time i shoudl have saved up enough to get the 911 i want, then i have one nicely styled and full of ice, and then a really trick machine which goes like stink

i like it, i think its fresh and different and ur quite brave in having such a radical design. but its cool as no 1 else has it and its not like every otha corsa with the same old body kit and standard spolier etc. gud on ya mate. get a bonnet vent, m3 mirrors and a dock off exhaust and that will be 1 crazy corsa. keep it up kid

IT would be better is the archs were actually a round shape. and small or the wheels bigger. The spoiler well the name is suprisingly ironic, should stay on the 206 WRC really. And the front is about 3inchs too high, or bumper not low enough. But I like the colour though.
