Hi guys just thought i would post up some pictures of my car from the start to how it is now, its a 1.4 16v sri corsa c.
i have done pretty much most of the work my self. any way when i bought the car i wanted to go euro so this is my attempt, all the work has been done in 6month from when i bought it, with no tax which just run out yesterday lol
when i bought it, it needed a new bumper and a headlight so first things i did plus i went for an sxi bumper and pre-facelift headlights because i had big plans for the car and also i sold the sri wheels at this point as i had no need for them.
sept time
nov
bought some d90's
mid nov, lowerd it on fk coilovers
bout a week after that sent these off to get banded, these were given to me by my dad set of 5. started of as 6jx14 et 38
got them back bout two weeks later. 8jX14 fronts and 8.5jx14 et (i dont know) but quite low
8's
8.5's
by dec time i was trying on some tyre sizes
175/50/14 but i did'nt like the stretch, i then tried on quite a few more but still no good
next up 165/ 55/ 14's for the fronts and 185/50/14's for the back ftw
bout the same time ish did the roof.
mid dec had the steels painted and also tyres fitted
24th dec christmas eve first ever on the car and on the road.
however not all plain sailing as it looks had to camber the backs, add more bump stops and get some adjustable shocks and no back seats. all that just to avoid this lol
jan time lowerd it a bit more
feb time
gloss white smooth petro cap and gloss black v grill, i did'nt want a irmy grill just dont like them
bout same time had a custom strut brace and a show cage fitted.
how it looked by feb time
march time smooth bumpers and boot, and colour coded
last month had some momo RS GT's bucket seats, momo harnesses and momo team 280mm steering wheel, custom euro exhaust and some german plates fitted
well just had a fastcar photo shoot bout a week also ago and the feature will be out in june pvs time so go get your self a copy ok lol.
next up need to fit some corsa VXR Front seats, and am thinking of puting a Z20LET or Z16LEH (corsa vxr engine just to be deferent) and pos a full respray.
SORRY FOR THE LONG STORY AND PICTURES.

really like this corsa
its very sweet
crazy exhaust aswell
love the idea of hole in the bottom for the water
i want your banded g60s
cant help but think that the grill is missing something i.e. where grill used to be silver maybe white instead? not to sure on the grill
