Hi im new to the site joined a couple off days ago my names Mark and i drive a Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 16v Sport - Paid £600 (BARGAIN)
Best thing about my corsa is its only had 1 lady owner from new, so never been thrashed, (must be the only corsa that aint) full service history and it had only done 29,000miles, had it 7months now and its currently on 41,000miles, in the 12,000miles ive done in it, its never let me down, only thing ive done since owning it are 2 new oil changes and oil filter and had the cambelt and waterpump done just to be safe! like ive said only paid £600 for it i could easily sell this on for £800-£1000 so ive been told by vauxhall and many other garages when i had it valued (by vauxhall)
Mods ive done -
1 - 15" Astra Sport Alloys
2 - 5x3 Sportex Backbox
3 - Painted The Calipers & Drums Red
Future mods -
1 - Tint Rear Lights
2 - Tint Rear Windows
3 - Smoked Side Repeters
Pictures ff my car -
This picture shows what the car looked like when i bought it (obviosly i had clayed and waxed it) Also shows the true colour of the car when the suns on it

Cheers, yeah the colour is very nice and also VERY RARE! there was a set off GM mud flaps on it when i bought it and took them off as the rear ones were catching the tyres when i put the alloys on, also like i said im not looking to lower it or put lower profile tyres on as i dont want stiff suspension as theres going to be a new born in the car soon!

lower profiles wont effect the ride mate, plus the tyres are why the mud flaps were cacthing, also 29k  bargain

i think you will find they do, as the side wall's are stiffer, so make the ride a tad more harsh, not that noticable but it does affect it...
and about lowering, i had a new born in my old corsa b, when it was lowered and he was find

yeah pure bargain with 29k and full service history, i knew the mud gaurds would catch with the tyres i had put on them, but i had a budget to stick to off £150 for 4 new tyres, they cost me £152, if a went any smaller would have cost to much so they had to do!
