i started off with my first corsa as a 1.0 3 cylinder,
i loved this car and i kept it for 18 months..
this is how i got her


at the time i was on low pay and a crap job, my insurance was alot so started off as budget spending

so here we go...

first i lowered the car on 60's which my mate gave me and got a debadged grill for it

next was some tigra alloys my brother gave me for sorting his saxo

then i got a spoiler i painted and a set of smoked rear lights for cheap.
they went on the following day

then i got a gloss black bonnet


i gloss blacked the boot grab
then in went a sport interior i got

unfortunatley my bumper had a plastic splitter on, so when i touched a kurb oneday it snapped off,

then i got a set of angels pretty cheap..


then got a set of bumpers n smoothed the front and rear


then fitted it.




also got hold of some flocked parts in blue


i brought a set of cesaros and painted them up for a car show at lichfield, cars in the park,
and also on went the mudflaps

im also on coilovers by this point buy didnt get any photos hence why its so low



then at the show i was considering a bigger engine, but instead decided not to....


went out and brought a new arden blue b. lol



of course i had to get rid of b number one, so i stripped it back to standard

and the new one came to life slowly


depo lights went on...

vx powerbox inlet manifold went on.

got a few bargains now...
irmscher splitter.. 10 quid


off come the depos...
on went the angel eyes, that were also a tenner


i also got a set of german style rear lights at a decent price too



and thats pretty much how my corsa stands now,

what you all think?

cheers lads! appreciate the comments! ive got the gm mudflaps to go on, they just need to go on, want a semi smooth boot, and want a different rear bumper, or something different done to it, thinking something different wheels wise, not sure what yet, and thinking of colourcoding arches, handles and stuff.

not sure of what though lol, any ideas?

silver softstars always look smart on blue corsa b's , maybe do the top of bumpers and arches glossy black or grey. pressed plates look really smart i fancy getting some
