Hi there, not that new to the site but thought I should show my car.

This is how I bought the car in March 2010





I had decided before I bought the car that I wanted to get rid of the lexus lights, alloys and colour coded rear badge as well as the "shopping list" on the side of the car.

I was offered a swap for some corsa c sxi alloys and jumped at the chance,





This was after the swap. I think these suit the car much better than the cheap alloys that were on the car previously!

I have changed the wipers to aero wipers all round, swapped the side indicators to originals, swapped rear boot lock surround and added rear mud flaps.

Then after several months of owning some twat did this late at night..





I managed to sort this by removing the rear door card and pushing most of the dint out!

Here is how the car is looking now









And finally a shot with my dads corsa..



Any comments guys? Thanks for looking, Jac.

Front end repair doesn't look very good, looks better than it started though.

What does everybody think to painting the vauxhall badges etc a different colour like orange or something? Any ideas on cheap mods like that I could do?
