Right i really love the way my car is but what next:
LET is the plan for sure and will take place this autumn, but do i sell my corsa and hopefully make good cash as the feature has just been!
And then buy a black sport and drop the let in there, gsi kit, bbs wheels and fusion cage and large brakes??
Or do i
Drop the LET in mine and put up with the colour matching and attention and enjoy her ??
OR
RESPRAY mine black, gun metal grey next year after the engine conversion ?
this bloody car has made me really think about what i want to do!!
i really love that even subtle euro look, nice cage in there and 300 bhp and have my perfect corsa

Brad I have just been asking my mates on the local cruise forum whether I should make my car look like that GSi, looks totally sexual! Think its actually my favourite Corsa now TBH

i just really like black, or a dark grey corsa with gsi kit and some lush wheels and brakes rather than something as bright and special as mine!!
Would probably be easier and cheaper to spray mine black and change the engine

if you going for a respray and a new engine then surely it would be better to strip the bits off yours you need like coilovers, brakes etc and sell yours on then get a new sheel and totally re-spray that and get it in tip top condition and put the enigne in and all that in!

Yes it probably would be. Im at the stage now where I can still put everything Ive got back to standard and sell or can go mad on it and make it look like that! Want a new car but also want the one Ive got to look like that!

I say keep yours and plonk the Let in there mate. Yours is probably one of the cleanest corsas around so it would be a shame to let it go

I would sell your car as it is nice as it is. Then bye a new car to do a bare metal respray on and put a GSi kit on it.
