Sup.
Not been on here too long, joined as I also have my brother on here.
Basically this is my first car..
Corsa Club 16v
Red (Faded as expected)
V reg
63,000 Miles
Everything Standard
Was getting tired of looking at the car and seeing the paint looking so faded so decided to take the risk of using my orbital polisher for the first time and give polishing a go and it came up like this, took me about 5 hours to clean and polish the car, I think it was well worth it 
Also noticed a few marks on the car as well as the dents I already knew about
Cheers

Everything sounds good except the bonnet, they're over rated IMO.
Car does look very clean, 60mm with black/anthracite/grey wheels would look good, nothing above 16" though.

Yeah the bonnet's are a bit over rated I guess but I guess it's something I think looks good.
And yeah I totally agree on the wheel colour, red and black/anthracite or grey looks awesome.

Yeah gloss black Cav Slabs but mine was a GSi so will look a little different. 195/45/15 tyres looked lovely as well

Well i've been quite busy working but as well as that I have done this.
My brother had these multi fit alloys when he bought his car but soon changed them when he turned his car matt black.
So i've bought them and refurbed them from this;
to this;
to finally, THIS;
Artsy shot ftw.

How have you a de-cat pipe on a 1.2 16v when the cat is in the manifold?
Wheels look pretty good

good luck keeping that front bumper intact.
Also ... worth noting that it will handle like shit that low.

How have you got it that low? Seems a lot lower than my sport ever was on 15's and even then my 4 branch manifold would hit objects in the road

If I was a rabbit wanting to cross the road, I would be very scared of how low that front bumper is.

It handles fine actually.
And the front was only that low as when that was taken only the front had been lowered so it looked a lot lower than it actually was, it's raised a bit now the back has dropped.

no offence but there is a big difference between handling 'fine' and well.
I've had lowered corsas in the past and it being low and hard gives the impression its 'on rails'.... when in reality is is just too low and too hard
If your happy with it though
Watch out for speed bumps though!

I don't really care, I don't thrash my car anyway, at the end of the day its only a 1.2. I want it to look okay and I'm fine with the way it handles.
But thanks.
