After a 200 mile roundtrip this afternoon to pick up my new lights, she finally has a set of the black angel eyes. This is one of the main modifications I have wanted on her since buying her.
There the 2 halo type, with projector lens, also have the Demon Eyes lights, but I'm not into that look, so only wired in the Halos

If already had a bonnet, 2 sets of wings, some depos and FK's, thats all I can think of off the top of my head, destroyed by Couriers.
I dont trust anyone with shipping things and I drive for a living, in a diesel Zafira, so its just as cheap for me to go fetch things lol

Thanks mate, well after seeing the photoshops of the roofbox colour coded/sticker bombed, I think I've changed my mind about the roof box.
So next things are DTM Mirrors, which are currently at the bodyshop being smoothed & painted, coilovers a must next and some more colour coding, scuttle pannel, mudguards etc

The roof box looks retarded. The paintwork is stunning.

Cheers Ben, I have desided against the roof box, now I've actually seen it fitted and photoshoped in gloss black, just ruins the lines of the car.
Mark I never used to be, was always a Meguairs fan, when I worked in the motortrade it was all I used to recommend, but I tend to use most of there products these days and HD Wax is amazing

On show at Lincs:EVOLUTION on the Brayford Waterfront in Lincoln.
Wasnt suppose to be on show, but after turning up to set up the LN Customs club stand, we have some spare room for more show cars, the Corsa was a mess and I litrally went round it with Ultimate Quick Detailer and it took it back to this, 5 weeks after its last machine polish

Been a while since I've done an update and had the Corsa hidden away for a while, but have had a few changes
Picked up these little beautys, brand new and only fitted then removed and never actually used, paid £80
Desided the rear still didnt sit low enough with the standard 80mm Tuning Art rear springs, so got hold of some 120mm custom made rears for £30!!
Here she is with full changeover to the new set up, sitting much better
Was on show at Trax on the LN Customs stand and was nice to meet some of the CS members on the stand
Had a bit of a play with the rear clusters, since the rebuild its had the smoked clear Ultra rears, so tried a set of standard lights with a full coat of red, was impressed with them and had a nice finish -
But then desided to order a set of these from HolmesGSI, just waiting for them to arrive
Have got a couple of other things in the pipeline whilst the car is off the road for the winter, will do another update soon

Start of the 2013 summer rebuild, after 7 months away in the garage last night she came out to start all the work for this summer. Struck her up and started first time, already started on the extensive list of bits to go on her
So this is the list of mods for this season, not everything will be done by Modified Nationals/PVS, but most of it will.
First job, start taking her apart
New FK headlights
New Discs & Pads
More to come next week

Really like this car, looks very clean and can't go wrong with a black sport on speedlines. Glad you decided against the roof box, they're not designed to be pretty

Kenny thanks mate and me to fella, me to lol.
Dan the Corsa has pretty much been built on parts from eBay and members on here.
The FK lights cost me £60, but they arrived with one of the lenses smashed so I got a refund and kept the lights - so I just hunted down a new lense for it & they cost the about £25 lol

No mate, I dont think I ever actually fitted them. This set was made to order, as it seems I am fairly handy at doing clusters
