Hey, this is my first car, brought it about a month ago from a local garage. It was totally standard. I have read through many project threads and have got many small ideas on how to upgrade/modify my Corsa. It is classed as a category D due to minor damage on the front bumper/right wing. No internal damage.

Specifications:
Year – X reg (2000)
Engine – 1.0 12v
Colour – Star Silver II
Mileage – 76200
MOT – 12 Months
Tax – 6 Months
Service – Full service + Specialised Engine service
Alloys – Old Sxi sports (came with the car)
Audio – Pioneer Head Unit

Car when I got it:






Jobs done so far:

• Went round the car and touched up minor scratches on the body work with paint.

• Changed the standard grille with a de-badged one.


• Took all the badges off the car including (GLS x2, Vauxhall, Corsa, 12v)


• Changed the oil pressure switch because of a leak. (Common Fault)


• Had a new radiator. This may have been because of the damage at the front.


• Got new smoked side repeaters.


• Sprayed the boot lock surround Star Silver to match the rest of the body work.

Surround fitted.



• New Leather gaiter for the gear stick.


• New number plates with anti-theft Richbrook bolts.


• Upgraded the two front standard speakers with pioneer ones.


• New Richbrook door pins in silver.


• New set of mats and Vauxhall belt pads for the rear.


• Front Smoked Depo lights.



Suggestions and comments much appreciated.
