After swapping my 1.2 Corsa C Sxi for a despec'd Corsa C Sri 1.8 with Warren G I've decided to make a new Project

Heres the project of my last car : http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=538884


After meeting Warren in Manchester we swapped alloys over and other stuff, signed v5's and I sorted insurance and drove off, was a great feeling, felt so different than a 1.2.

Heres how i got it was before I got it : Changed alloys over (no pictures)


I then swapped backbox's over, the one that was on the Sri only had 2 hangers

And the backbox that was on my last car - much better


Gave it a clean





Im currently spraying the V grill and bumper inserts, I've also just bought an air feed for my pipercross viper induction kit, a vauxhall badge for the boot and a wee something to tidy up the engine bay , plans are to get new alloys after christmas as I despise the ones currently on it, lower it (hopefully both done for february) Sri mirrors or reps, then move onto bigger mods , thanks for looking

Nice looking motor mate, what other plans you got for it??

We should have a "our corsas came from Warren" club as my silver C 1.8 was also bought from WarrenG
