Bit bored so i thought i'd put up the history of my old corsa. My Brother bought it brand new and got all of the work done, then i came along and changed it a little bit  Started life as a 1.2 club.
Couple of months after he bought it, it had new wheels. Then he never took any more pics, until the big changes happened
He got bored, so off he went to Colorworx in loughborough and it came back like this. Bar the wheels, it still had the 15's on.
Basically he had, MCR front and sides, Combat rear, smooth boot, colour coded. Then he added blue headlights, clear rears, m3 mirrors (later changed for m8's) 17" phantoms.
Then he got bored of 1.2 power, so off it went to Cossvaux for a 2 litre 16v transplant. This is it on show at PVS2003 i think it was, on the Cossvaux stand
Then in 2004/5 i bought it off him, couldn't refuse it really as he told me i could pay it off over a long time, which was cool.  It only had around 11k on the clock too.
I absolutely loved the car, being 19 and having a fast modified car when all my mates still had 1.2's etc. 
Then after a million and 1 problems, repairs to bodywork etc. I decided to Take all the kit off and put the ouside back to standard.
Then some idiot pulled out on me in ice, so i smashed into the side of him, needed new bumper, bonnet, grille and crash bar. He gave me some money and i fixed it myself.
This is when i decided to go even more standard So i got black bumpers, a v grille and i couldn't be arsed to get the bonnet sprayed so i left it. Took the blue headlights off too. It looked so crap, but i loved it
Got some standard rears with tinted out indicators and joined Brotherhood of the grommet
Really wanted to get the roof done black but was saving money to work on the engine. I bought a set of tb's
Got this far with fitting them, then thought......hmmm, i cant be arsed to fit these anymore. So i put it all back together again
then it was all back together looking pretty again
Then it went on a diet as i got hooked on santa pod 
Cheeky badge
This was it at PVS 2006, where it was for sale. Had a blue bonnet now. Decided i wanted to get a new better car....So i bought an L reg Cally turbo that was badgered
Now i own Fads old corsa, (which is better in everyway possible than the blue one) (apart from one....The blue one was such a sleeper, so much fun hehe)
And thats the end

Haha, im afriad im of the opposite opinion.. I thought it looked much better with the kit on  But that last pic of it before you sold it (PVS2006) it looks
Only dodgey part of its life was when the numberplate was in the rear window... back end looked a bit bland.
Lovin the red one also! Nice one

The numberplate was only there for a couple of days until i got the normal boot sorted out.
I loved it when it had the kit on too, but it got so much unwanted attention from gypos. Had one try running me off the road. Did get good attention too though, got to go in the VIP area at Redline rumble, when i was about to park in the normal car park
I think the side skirts are really good imo. Nice and deep, make it look alot lower.
Thanks Nath
