So. this is how my first car, the more door finished..
and now i wanted a change, the POWAAA of the 1.2 got a tad boring, soo i wanted something with a bit more go.
Looked at 106 gti's, Vts's and all the insurance was stupidly high then stumbled across a Gsi, went to view it twice and then
Its a completely standard M reg corsa gsi, 66,000 miles on the clock.
Has both L pieces and jacking point covers, standard alloys and standard height.
The one bad point im not happy with is the 6x9's in the parcel shelf but i will be buying a new parcel shelf to replace it.
And also need a new vauxhall badge for the front.

to be honest the only thing i don't like about the GSi is the standard set of wheels. they look shite in my opinion but i really think they're the only thing that lets them down.
