Member on Corsa C just thought id post on here aswell

Had been searching for a car for a while when i stumbled across a SXi on a 05 with 32,000 on the clock for a shade under 5k and new i had to have it. So i put a deposit down and a few days later i went to pick her up

Her she is at the garage when i picked her up





Still being at school and only having a part time job to pay for the car + mods it took me before the mods started

First mod.. Wheels fresh from powder coating







Christmas time and mither and father were find enough to get me an Irmscher grill and 60mm B springs



Inside...





Inside...



And on Boxing day me and my dad fitted the grill





Next for the C was a de-badge + de-wiper..



Follwed by tinted side reps



Flat blades



Vx wind deflectors



And my favourite bit... me and p93sco dropped it to the deck on the B springs











Finally got my 4" Sportex backbox...










Thats it finished till i have passed my test and saved up a bit of money But plenty more to come after that

Rate/Slate

Smoke your rear fogs!

Coming along nicely. Not too keen on the stickers or flaps, and the exhaust is an inch or so too big imo, but it's all nicely done still

i love it apart from the tacky stickers and mudflaps.

everything else is spot on mate.

i'm used to seeing peoples first cars with lexus lights and led washer jets on (like i did) nice to see someone going down the subtle route.

colour is stunning.

:L someone said on CCUK that the one on the window looked got but each to their own Nooo the "chav" route does nothing for me so the subtle/euro/smooth is what iam aiming for I love you colour because not many people mod the SLs nice to see a few people on here like it
