Brought the car back in March, as my 2nd car but first to go onto the road with. Back then, I will be honest, i knew nothing about Corsa's as I loved French & Fords.

Got the car at a small price but with the work it had done and the mileage i couldn't say no! It was/is in need of abit of work, but for it age and like I said the price, I couldn't complain!


This is the only picture I have from when I first got it


With my badly homemade Depos & HiDs fitted

Then I found out on what route I wanted to go with the car, so had to find the colour coded stuff for my car. Found my front bumper.


Off, gave it a little wipe down too.


And on


Fitted my Strutbrace & Cleaned the engine abit.


How the car sat for a while dropped the back end on 60mm springs.....


.. untill these arrived






Nose diving FTW lol


Next to my mates Corsa (Had abit longer than i have lol)


A BB Curve off the floor.


Then I picked this up in abit of a state but for free. So after abit of cleaning and abit more work will be lush!!


Gave him a little clean.


Rear strutbrace trial fit (still like this at the moment :/ need to pull my finger out) & As you can also see a after market steering wheel & Boss but now have a SRi 1 fitted.




Blue LEDs

Then i thought the back end looks abit standard to the rest so treated it, knew what lights I wanted right away so then come to sourcing some!


Off


Abit of a clean up & some polish


&&&& On


My wonky HiDs :/ .. Will be going soon & the headlights to Normal Bulbs & Depos

Then I wanted to sticker the rear window, not go OTT but just afew to make the back end stand out more again.



Then me and a mate took a trip to Hereford to pick up my alloys, set of 5 with good tyres for a cheap price



There are afew bits not pictured. List includes;

-Coloured Boot Handle
-Vectra Coloured Door Handles
-Spoiler (Waiting to be sprayed)
-De-Cat Pipe
-Lower Front Strutbrace
-Few More Stickers

All C&C welcome. Thanks for reading! Ash.

Like the way this is going. I'd change the bumper back to the pre one or get rid of the grille

Looks decent enough, but the stickers look not so good. Why exactly do you like having the stickers?? Its not different so can't be for that reason. As for making the rear stand out abit more, well you could smear it in dogshit and it would stand out, but wouldn't look good. So can't be for that reason. Just trying to understand why exactly people do it nowadays.

I've put the sticker there because I like them there, if you don't, then that's your choice!
But that is just rude, I'm not coming onto your thread and saying stuff like that! Its just uncalled for!
If you don't like the stickers fair enough, you wouldn't have been the first to say it, but no need to go over board mate! Really wasn't!
