Yep, haven't had a Corsa for a while now, but this was my reason for signing up to CorsaSport...

Started off with a standard Corsa.

1994
92,000 Miles
2 Previous Owners

Nothing Special done except it had the Irmscher Bumper Covers (Also on CDX's) as standard.







So the first and simplest/cheapest thing to do was to debadge it...



The Following week, i placed an order for some LED's to convert the Dash, also ordered some cathodes for the footwells...



Then i couldn't like with the ride height any more, so it was off to eBay to order some Jamex -60mm Springs...









Then i was on the hunt for some wheels, always the man to find the bargain, i picked these wheels (Astra Sport 15") up from a member on here, no Tyres (well, needed replacing) but freshly powdercoated for £60...





Very quickly found myself needing something to do, so i painted the centre caps black, and got some black caps for the wheel studs...







Now i'm running out of ideas, i dont like body kits or massive wheels, and i had a new but standard back box, however this wasnt enough. I had already modified the Air Box to try and give it a little more performance/sound so next was to change the back box. I've never had a back box thats been so perfect fitting since i've been modifying cars, it was the best £150 i ever spent...









And thats pretty much how it ended up, FlamingCorsa came over one night when it was stored in the garage waiting for collection, but that time it had been waxed about 4 times, he said he'd never seen Standard Paintwork as clean/shiney as that! It really was a gleaming motor...

I don't own it any more guys, sold it about a year ago now.

Been trying ever since to get the guy to put GSi Style skirts on (in black).

The only think i would have done is remvoe thr brows (i didnt because they were bonded on and the glass was cracked underneath) and got some SA rear lights.

He's selling it soon!

None at the moment, will have some at the weekend when i get her back and give it a proper clean.

I think GSi Style sideskirts in black will be first thing to go on
