Hey, my name is Alex, I'm based in Stevenage, currently working at Halfords and am doing A-levels (Maths, Further Maths and Product Design) at Nobel and Marriotts. I am a very active member of allcorsa.co.uk but only get to meet up with them about 3 times a year due to location. I am good at maths and engineering type-things, though have very little mechanical knowledge. My cam belt snapped, so I have stripped my engine to the head, not much but it's a start. My passion is electronics, which I am geting fairly good at, as you will see, and before I get 50 comments of 'YOU'RE A CHAV', I just like lights. I have changed every interior bulb to blue, wired footwell lights, under car neons, grill lights, blue in the reverse lights and number plate bulb (as well as normal bulbs) boot popper, my stereo (2X JL 10", 2X Fli 6", 2 X FLI 5", 2X Kenwood KAC-5204, 1X Fli 450s amp, but am looking for a second.) and other things.
Me and the girlfriend going to a fancy dress party, but can you guess what characters we are, I'll give you a hint, the director's initials are Q.T.



Anyway, my car, a 1.2 8v Corsa:

addition to the indicators:













I have also fitted some spotlights. My car now pushes 600watts of light from the front. It's daylight on country roads.







My insurance renewal is coming up in March, which is when the more serious mods will take place, such as wheels, 60mm drop, colour coding, Depo and MHW lights, Window Tint, ect, but for now I am poor. I already have some of these, and when I'm done, it won't look too dis-similar to this:




If I still have the car when I'm 20, I'm going to jam a 2.0 8v in there, but by then, I want a convertible Corsa, rare as rocking horse **** and I've never seen a modded one, so an Arden v6 convertible with GSI kit, dropped 100 and irmy softstar 16"s should be quite tasty

So, lemme know what you think

Yep, GSI seats with sport door cards. That'll do for now

Right! proper update, and not a neon in sight...

Here I have the mods planned for the end of the month:
Apex front shocks
Apex front springs
Apex rear springs
FK rear shocks
2.0 Cav Break conversion
OMP upper strut brace
Adam's old wheels
IF I CAN FIND ONE a front lower strut brace and/or rear arb
£330 quids worth so far. I'm seriously poor this month.






I'm still after:
Corsa b combo front anti roll bar
Corsa b diesel rear anti roll bar
Cavalier rear anti roll bar
Front lower strut brace
Front lower arm brace
Straight through center exhaust
Nice backbox
Driver's side GSI seat
Manual window sport door cards, front, rear and plastics

Then the car's done for the for-seeable future!

Little picture update. I fitted some DRLs (you didn't expect me to do all these updates without paying attentions to the lights, did you?)

So, normally:



Engine on:





Some nice shots:




And the mandatory 'everything on':
