well ive bin on this site for a while now and now ive got sum spare time i thort id do a project thread as ive had a few corsa's but i always manage t sel them before i really get into moddin them lol

well heres how the corsa started life like


not very pretty but it was only to get me to work and back

then i started lookin on ebay and on here and started buyin a few bits and bats lol as you do i got some 80mm rear springs and 70mm front and i manage to get some irmscher twin spoke 15s for 100quid and tinted the rear windows and heres how she looked after that



then i manage to get hold of a lovely cream and dark red leather interior only thing was it was in scotland lol so i manage to borrow a van from work t pick it up 250 miles one way lol but it was so worth it heres the pic





pic arnt great as it was a sunny day and camera on my phone isnt great but you get the idea lol

then a few weeks later i saw some morettes on here it was sort of a inpulse buy but i thort what the hell and got them i went to pick them up a hour or 2 drive but its all good they needed a paint but thats nothing,

then the other week i looked at my car and thort mmmm i wonder if the wheels would look good colour coded to the body so i posted on here and jamie c did it 4 me i loved it so for the past week ive bin preping the wheels and i manage to finish painting them yesterday and fitted them t day well heres how she stands now





hope you lot like what you see i dont expect it to be to everyones taste but i like it alot

Looks really nice, definately a nice idea to colour code the wheels, its certainly different and looks spot on. Looking forward to next update ...

Surprisingly looks not bad

Not keen on the interior though, it's a bit 'Max Power'

does look quite kool that, few changes (smoked side reps, remove rear tints, debadged) would look good and very cheap/free to do

I don't love the tints. Rest looks good, that colour is a grower.

Probably would have gone for grey on the wheels though, Mistral perhaps maybe something a bit darker.

front windows shouldnt be tinted unless its minimal.. it will still have a good effect with the lightest shade. you got a new interior then covered its looks with tint

If with the rest on the tints tbh, would look better with a lighter shade or else none. And smoked side repeaters
