red wheel tape
60 ml lowering spring
painted/fully colour coded front bumber/back bumper and arches
irmisher side skirts
and the one which im having trouble getting my head around
HID KIT, does anyone know which one to get?
its seems there loads of different ones to get, different colours and temperatures.
and im unsure which one will fit on mine?
another thing, im hoping to make it quicker, which is the best way for this?
will get some pics up so id like some input of what you guys think, for both the engine and the outside

I had 6k HID's in my Ibiza and Corsa and they were great, definitely recommend them, i just need to save for a new set as my old ones finally gave up after over 2 years.

haha, do you not agree?
the remus exhaust i bought, (not worth the price) makes no sound what so ever! had a outward rolled back box before, but wanted to go for something different!
and the red tape again trying something new, theres too many similar looking blue corsa round my area, so im trying to get some originality

Changing the backbox wont make a shits bit of difference. you could completely remove the back box and it would still be reasonably quiet. get a fully system if you want noise.

I beg to differ, slightly. My backbox on my old Ibiza decided to get so rusty it wasn't attached to the centre silencer anymore, that made PLENTY of noise I wouldn't advise it though, a full or cat back system gives a much nicer noise and improves performance a little bit as well.

Me too, ive a straight through (de-cated) but the back box ive got on now is poor, costing me £120 too! pointless. i want a back box without any baffles, cant seem to find any at a resonable price though!
And cheers Norcy91, im on ebay now

take the piss all you want guys, the reason ive got a corsa is to keep the insurance down due to my age, whats your excuse? track car? lets me honest corsas aren't made for the track, even with tweeking there are better ones. so rather than taking the piss put yourself in my situation!
