right u have prob seen the post about the car!
i bought it cos i had set of 19s that i needed to sell or put on a car, this came up so i bought it, got rid of cracks in the kit, then it went on ebay as buyer chooses colour, a time waster won it so i went and painted the car ford radiant red but with shimmerin gold pearl over the top to get this effect of nearly a flip paint, looks stunning in person!
also lights have been smoked, to contrast the paint!
wheels have been painted custom also, silver with slight flip inbetween the spokes then black spoked with pearl sparkle over the top!!!
here is the spec:-
ENGINE :- 1.5td, recent service, custom back box exhaust looks pretty new
SUSPENTION :-GMAX shocks and springs lowing the car 60ml
WHEELS:- 19inch 4 stud, 42 offset TSW fury wheels painted custom finish
INTERIOR :- its got a full sport interior inside, the one drivers seat looks pretty bady worn so i will be replacing that with another one thats fine,
ICE & SECURITY :- no ice of security is in the car, if i am happy with the price i may include a toad alarm from another corsa and some ice
BODYWORK:- where to start, full combat 2 wide arch kit but all totally smoothed in for a different look, roof rails smoothed, boot smoothed, i will be smoothing the rear number plate light off also cos looks silly, bonnet had GSI vents and is also badboyed, arches have been modified to accomidate the large drop and 19inch wheels, the rear lights will also be smoked and also the side reps, GSI spoiler on the boot also!!
i have prob missed some things to it, car has done 80summit k miles and runs well and pretty quiet for a td! mot and tax will end of year
BAD POINTS:- i may have missed some cos i have not driven the car on the road so will need tracking done sometime, also handbreak could do with a tighten and the sump leaks some oil part from that the car always starts first time!
i am looking for £2750 for the car which i think is a bargin for the things u are getting with it, will do good mpg also and low tax group!
car should be all done in a week or so just got few more things to finish to it!
here are some pics:-

update on the car tho:-
had it on the road today, part from the sump leaking some oil the engine is ace, pulls well and nippy really for the 19s, pulls great up hills! starts first time and pretty quiet especially when moving car hardly tell its a d!
the wheels very rarely catch on the arches, with little more grinding could prob get people in the back also!!!
clutch is new like hitman says but its it bit juddery when starting in 1st, once moving it drive very well really considering its on 19s and lowered, the ride is impressivly good also! not harch!!!
i would happyly have the car as everyday car its really very good! ivery impressed with it today, dont wanna park it up and not use it now! oh well
gets alot of looks!
the interior is not great and would finish the car off with a leather re trim!!!
