Decided to start up a project thread for my new car i bought yesterday  Its a (1999) T reg 1.0 12v Breeze model with 77,000 miles on the clock  The shell is in good condition and the arch trims are all the same colour black not faded grey  I havent picked it up yet because its getting a small knocking noise in the exhaust sorted and its MOT done so im kind of biting my nails waiting for the guy to say its ready so i can get stuck in
I am only 15 but its a project car that will be driven by my mum/dad nearly every day
You guys will maybe have to keep me right to stop me buying silly things like a led gearknob but im not stupid enough to go buying lexarse lights and neons etc
Plans are:
(Engine)
1400 Sport Engine(In the future)
Dbilas,Mantzel,Lexmaul or Replica Inlet manifold
Dbilas Flowmaster Airbox with K&N panel Filter or BMC CDA style enclosed air filter
3"or 4" Sportex backbox with Remus Straight through pipe
(Wheels and Suspension)
ET49 Vauxhall Alloys (Hopefully Cesaro's)
Richbrook Vauxhall anti-theft Valve caps
Yellow(Callipers) and Black(Drums) Hammerite paint (Already Got)
lowered 40mm front and 60mm rear (Already got the springs)
(Exterior)
Fiat Marea rear wiper (Fitted)
Steinmetz replica sideskirts
Debadged and Rubstrips removed (Done)
Delocked Door handles
Badgeless Grille with Irmscher Badge
Opel boot lock badge (Already Got)
Colour/coded bumper inserts,arch trims,Door Handles, mirrors etc
Astra MK4 clear side repeators(Fitted)
Clear MHW's (Fitted)
GM mudflaps(Already Got)
GSI Spoiler (Fitted)
Plain Plates (no border/slogans etc)
Smoked window tints
(Interior)
3 spoke Post 97 Airbag Steering wheel

(ICE)
Decent CD player with blue led display and MP3/ipod compatible
Alpine or VIBE 6x9's in parcel shelf
Vibe FLI subwoofer
thats my Plans so far

Good first car, I had a 12v Sting which Fonz eventually wrote off........
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=404110
then my folks have just bought a practically identical Breeze for my little sis, who is just learning to drive. I'm with Lee on the seats im afraid thou, might look ok retrimmed.

 That corsa looks a mess, I wanted the seats to be different from the commonly picked cally leather/corsa sport seats etc

None of them will do anything for the price.
Get a good panel filter and drill your airbox. Gives people a suprise when you open your bonnet and people expect a filter lol

Nice project mate. You have a nice base for a potentially nice car there. I would suggest loads but only being 15 might be a bit much.
Best of luck with the car

Sounds like some good plans, some very similar ideas to what i want to do with mine like DIY depos, should be doing them the next sunny day as well as adding my opel badges.
On the induction kit front, you do not want to go down that route, i had an induction kit on my 1.0 12v, it blows the AFM and causes your car to bog down and lose power (what little it has anyway, lol) while travelling at about 70-80mph while in 5th gear, also the EML light comes on and usually you have to stop the engine to get it turn off, this really pissed me off after a while so i took it off, did have a nice roar to it though - was a pipercross one.
Look forward to seeing this grow

Cheers I think i will just get a pipercross panel then drill the airbox Its still at the garage having its MOT done and the exhaust sorted  There is an annoying squeek when you open and close the door its like on a peugeot when the door squeeks any ideas wat it could be? cheers
