well as ive started making some good progress on the car and im looking to take it to PVS i thought id make a w.i.p thread, i bought the car after i crashed my nova at the begging of February
i decided to buy a corsa b sport as a mate was willing to give me a good deal on it, car came pretty modified with a g-max lowering kit, back box and some bits and bobs.
went for a little photo shoot and got some alrite pics
so i got to work and started fitting some of the parts of my nova.....
i fitted all the stereo equipment including a jvc cd/mp3 head unit and alpine mono amp with a Rockford fosgate punch 12" sub and vibe components in the front and rear door cards.
and then the real work started with the fitting of some coilovers
and CDA air induction kit
straight thought and de-cat was next
and now theres just my 2.0l ate brakes and some splitfire ignition leads and im looking into buying a power box of stu_22, has anybody got one of these and what are they like?
all comments and ideas welcome

Nice car  But could do with 4 new arch trims and colourcode them,Post 97 bumpers also colour coded!!Get the Badboy bonnet redone as it looks like the filler is cracking badly lol Get a badgless grille and change the rear lights for standards or MHW's(Getting rare now so i have heard) And some DEPO headlights !! Really like the Black Cavvy GSI Rims on black car theme 
Going to keep an eye on this thread

Did it have GSI or some other kind of sideskirts on at one point?? because it looks as if the rears have been trimmed for side skirts

Lose the binlids,(wheels)

Debadged grill,
Sort the arches out would look much better then.

Few small things need sorting and it has potential to look a tidy motor

Post 97 are more modern, have a towing eye cover at the back and a V grill up front.
Depo make smoked front headlights which are available on ebay for 50 of your english pounds.

These are MHW taillights (Getting quite hard to get a hold of now so i have heard not sure though)
This is your front its a PRE 97:

^^^^ and Badgeless Grille and Depo's!
(oh btw first thing you should do is remove the rubstrip of the passenger door and the sport badges then give it a good wash)

I think that could be the old glue stuff that held it on give it a go with a heat gun or a hairdryer(not sure about hairdryer but worth a try)

first thing you should do to the car is get 4 arch trims from vauxhall (sure someone on here got some recently but cant remember who) they will tidy the car up a lot!

Oh so are you going to cut the bottom half off your pre97 bumper then cut the top bit off the ford one then smooth it all?But be prepared because it could be a lot of cutting and if you mess up then your left with half a bumper
