Hi People,
I have been a premium member for the best corsa forum on the planet (corsasport) for a while now lol. I thought i would upload some before and after pics of my gawjus pride and joy. i dont quite know what it has on it as i wasnt told but you will guess from the pics its had a fair bit done to it.
My car is an original GSi and not a replica, im trying to make it look as nice as possible without major changes as i wanna keep it genuine as the corsa gsi is now starting to become very rare.
it has standard gsi spec interior (MINT!) except a little tear on the drivers seat, it has a 1.6 16v gsi engine (C16XE) with a Manzel Inlet Manifold, 60mm Gmax Front, 30mm Gmax Rear, replaced the orange side repeaters with smoked ones . also made a few changes to the engine as you can see, this is still undergoing but is impossible at this point in time as i actually dont have the car to carry on with it for a little while.
My car is currently in the spray shop as im having a full respray in GM flame red and having the roof, scuttle panel and bonnet done in ford mercury grey, when i bought the car it had a HUGE!! dent on the passengers side rear quarter which has now been takin out as you will see in the pics.
Feel free to comment as thats the reason for this post coz i would like to see what people think. I will keep you updated.
Thanks
This is how i bought the car, you will see the changes i have made through out the pics
This is the 1st time i gave it a wash, as you will see in the last pics it didnt get washed often lol
Now a few changes under the bonnet 
At this point i got really annoyed becaust the rocket cover looked propa rank lol but luckly i now have a cover to go over it 
This was the day i said goodbye to my car to show that i love it and by the time it comes back it will be inlove with me as this was when it was going to have the dent pulled out and have a full respray
1 week later i went over to see how my car was getting on and this is the result so far
UPDATED
This is the inside of the rear quarter just to show you all that the dent was not just covered with filler because about 95% of the dent pulled straight back out

 Should've kept it standard! As you said theres not many minters around now and you went and done that
Should've went all red, roof and bonnet spoil it IMO!
Don't mean to sound harsh, just my opinion.

True, the roof would look ok by it self, I think its the bonnet throwing me off.
