How it started off before i bought it (sorry about bad pics)

Corsa b 1.216v club W reg





Added Momo Knob and Handbrake



Next up the most important C20LET with F28 6 Speed












In she goes











Next up the full IBHERDESIGN bodykit





All sprayed and gsi spoiler on





New Set of wheels



lowered


Out with the old, in with the calibra seats. p.s u2u me if you want the standard ones free, take up to much room in my house





this is when i bought the car, went down to sommerset and picked up the car, will start to make my own personal touches, gave it a good clean and took some pictures













Update 24/9/08

Had a look at the stereo today
1 or 2 small issues but a small hardwire sorted it out, spose working for halfords is good for something






Added a flip out monitor, 2 x alpine amps, kenwood 6x9s, sub





next on that im wating for is
bonnet pins, not looking foward to fitting them
tinted rear lights
aeroblades

Update 1/10/08

bonnet pins arrived today and should be fitted by the end of the week





deceided to respray the dipstick as it was fading









sorted






had to change the horn today as it sounded like a moped horn







put it all back as sounds much better


This car is not to everyones taste and a bit different but i personally love it

Comments welcome

thanks for looking sam

ye bought it with alot of it already done i.e the most expensive parts i.e engine, respray and use that as a base then decieded to redo to my own taste and relieability prob not the most logical idea but did save shit loads of money,. since then half the engine and ecu has been taken apart to sort of a few problems (car not starting) then found water was getting into the ecu all sorted now ) put in new rad and gave it a good service) and its better than ever

I think the "kit" will just provoke people to race you tbh, i hope you will see the light of corsasport which is normally a tidy gsi rep

Come to the rolling road day organised in the south east region mate

Engine looks well shame about the styling its all a bit 2001 to be honest.

Doesnt have to be a GSi kit and speedlines maybe some nice Irmscher styling bits or maybe Euro it by smoothing things.
