Hi, I am 17 and from North Wales.
I have jst bought a T-reg Arden Blue X14XE Corsa.Which i bought for a bargain price of £750. It had 12 months M.O.T 2 months tax 77,000 miles and a cliford G5 650 alarm system.Its very clean with only a couple of little dents and scraches hear and there.And is preety much standerd only for slight tints in windows and lexus lights on the rear
Sorry for the car being so dirty.. The day i bought it.
First of all i took the ugly lexus rear lights off and replaced with standard. And also came a de-baged grill off my old corsa.
Then a Bee-sting arial.
Next up was fitting the sterio and kenwood 6x9 from my previous corsa..
Plans are as follows:
-Gsi body kit with maby stemitez side skirts.
-Full colour code with all dents and scraches removed.
-Semi Smoothed boot lid.
-Speedline alessio 2 or Compomotive Mo's
-X16XE slightly tuned 130-140 bhp.
-V6 Brakes
-A good quality suspension setup.
-And a full exhaust system including manifold.
Hope you like and your opinions and advice would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Had a little done today. The car had massive holes in the door cards where the previous owner fixed infanity commponents as speekers and made a hell of a good job of buchering every panel..So i had to strip it all off and rip the commponents ought. Now this is how it looks withought eny door cards which is better than the terrible speakers ..
Thinking of maby carbon fiber door panels but it would be difficult with the elect windows.Or maby get a new set of black sport cards.
Also bought sum Smoked Vauxhaull Wind Difflectors... I Think they look top!.
Also painted the rusted rear drums Bright yellow. Looks so much cleaner.
Then gave the car a quick clean..
A little package came through the post today!.. LMF V6 set up. They have vented 288mm discs and a nice big caliper. But havent decided on wat alloys will be going..So cant fit them till then.

 used a full roll of tape as i thought the box would split with the weight of them, glad your pleased with them, they will stop you fine anyway as they had no problems slowing my corsa down, good luck with the rest of the car
