firstly, i know what everyone is all thinking.... OMG A POST IN THE SOUTH WEST SECTION!!!! i like to think this will be a turning point for us and we can maybie get a few things organised, meets ect. If not though, i think things going down in south west should be posted in here as you never know, a south west meet might actually happen one day. as martin luther king said "I have a dream....."
anyways. for too long then i care to recall i seemed to be the only person in weston super mare, who had a partially moddified corsa. i wont lie, was lonely times, all the corsa's i saw were all owned by old ladies, or people who just didnt care about making them look nice  .
However now there is LOADS. was just wondering if anyone from weston is also on here?? ive seen a red corsa with white cesaro's tints and lowered, a black one which was extremely loud and had angel eyes, and many many more.
If there is anyone, i think a meet needs to be arranged for a night sometime soon where all is welcome 
as im sure none of you actually know me. im nick reynolds, been on here for a while now but never really post alot, just kind of fester in the background haha. the only member off cs ive met is Shane_o when i bought his avo coilovers off him.
people in weston, this is my car, if you see me about come say hello or something.
cheers.
nick
also quick question, do you think i should keep my post 97 front bumper?? or get my gsi one sprayed and fitted??? that is all

I'm also in Bristol, but no longer have a Corsa - now I've got a Fabia vRS, but ther's no point posting a picture as it's a completely standard silver car 
Craig, that's a very nice looking car - it just needs some skirts now, that's all!
Nick, I like the black on black, it looks very subtle - what engine is it? I can't help but think it needs some details to liven it up a little though - some green or yellow perhaps? Brake callipers, maybe supertouring badges on the doors instead of the Sport ones...

cheers yeah i was thinking that is all a bit too subtle :/ nothing really leaps at you. i was thinking bright yellow vauxhall griffin on the centre caps and possibly yellow calipers, but i rekon to much yellow would ruin the subtleness of it. what do you all think?? and its only a 1.2 16v :/ but when i have two years no claims hopefully will c16xe it (Y)
craig if your interested i got a set of gsi skirts here with l pieces, one i started to strip the paint off but havent done loads. let me know if you want them mate.
jordan, ive seen your car once when i came to visit my nan in burnham on sea, i thought mmmmmm smoked depo's how come its off the road??
