Just bought my third corsa its a 1995 1.6 16v Gsi in white  best colour imo 
Its got 88k on the clocks just had a cambelt change and service, only real downsides are a little bubble of rust on the passenger side front wing at the bottom and a slight bubble on the drivers doors about the size of a 5p.
Im looking to start a little project on it nothing major but enough to make it subtle and tidy.
Firstly im going to get some of the vauxhall wind deflectors, 10000k hid kit and some mudflaps.
Not entirely sure i like the wheels on it, im undecided on them as i think theres a bit to much white going on 
Has anyone got any ideas opinions they want to throw my way?? Any modifying suggestions that would set the car off nicely??
This is my second white corsa so looking to have it different to my old one 
Thanks for looking heres some pics from my garage:

Looks clean, best colour when they're in good condition 
Got no ideas for plans at all?
Low Gsi's with some dark headlights look awesome, always work!

oh dunno, i think some dark grey or black alloys, like some cav slabs, swear they have suddenly got very difficult to get hold of though, and maybe black side repeaters and rear lights, debadge it, tint the windows, drop it 60mm! i know they are so standrad but i have a white corsa (currently selling in the for sale bit ) and its exactly what i wanted to do to mine, check it out, white corsa look so nice white a nice set of black alloys

Right not reall an exciting update, just cleaned up the engine bay a little, Resprayed the engine cover and sprayed inlet in heat resistant matt black.
Put some mudflaps on all round, waiting on my wind deflectors from vaux
Put a cone filter on for the time being as in waiting for my enclosed filter and planning on a custom inlet manifold once i get my x16xe or x14xe lower inlet

Decided to get an update on the go with the Corsa......
Well hear goes
Got a Vx Performance inlet off here and had it fitted the same day it arrived, with the help of good old Mr Callis.
Started at around 1.30 due to getting the lazy shit out of bed and getting some munch from his uncles cafe Great sausage and bacon rolls FTW.
Managed to make good progress with it, here are some mid change pictures and the finished product
Here is the finished product with the wiring loom nicely hidden cheers chris
After some thinking i decided to spray the turrents satin black along with the slam panel, the white paint had started to look a bit tired so rubbed it back best i could and sprayed it. Also purchased a replica BMC CDA enclosed filter and re-routed the cold air feed to the drivers side foglight. Gave the Inlet a polish with some Autosol too
Recently fitted a showcage which i purchased off here, and smacked some good old vauxhall wind
deflectors on
Gave the exhaust some autosol after i managed to free up some of the carbon left on it!
Next up i finally got around to wiring in my oil pressure and oil temp gauges in the MFD pod that Nic Barnes sold to me, cheers dude i then bought a sandwich plate off the bay to home to to senders. Spent around 2 hours fiddling with it to make sure it fit snug and made sure the sneders were not fouling the block in anyway. Unfortunately due to being head to toe in oil i didnt feel it was worth covering my phone in it so didnt get any pics..........Ill try get some pics up soon, but here they are working ( well without the engine on)

Looking Quality mate
Future Plans sound good, My mates 1.6 had the same inlet and a performance exhaust manifold, he later blanked the egr valve and it really do make a difference

Look what turned up on Postman Pats van on saturday
They are in stunning condition, not a mark on them. Just a shame im spraying them a different colour as the finish on them is A1
Rubbed them all back at work this morning as its been dead, and gave them there first coat of primer, will be flatting them back and spraying them white. Watch this space
