finally sold the 54 plate fiesta so thought id best get myself back in a vaux before i decide to take up golf or something. and with V6 MEC never going on the road and not really needing a big derv to pull it till next year i thought ig get this for a little bit of fun... suprisingly its quite clean
not going to be doing much to it but opinions are welcome

Needs a spoiler i reckon, looks alright for a winter runabout though.

theres only that bit on the door and a tiny dent in the driver side wing, wheel well has the usual corsa systems but the cross member is solid as a rock, sills all solid etc...
it is just a winter run about so to speak, wont be doing much to it
rocker gaskets pissing oil out so thats to do... could do with a more suited geabox and flywheel aswell
(revs for fun)
cant decide if i should refurb the wheels (colour??) or just sell them and fit some 15" steels (sleeper look)
speck as far as iv noticed so far is 18xe1 with x16xe ecu, loom, throttle body and coil pack, full orange hose kit, 1.2 16v flywheel and gearbox, xe manifold (flange welded on), gaz rear dampers with gmax 40mm shite all round, standard'ish exhaust, xe brakes...
it rides comfy as hell for a b and its rapid as hell off the mark but slow at high speed

Looks good Jed!! Sleeper look in corsas/novas is dead now? I would clean it up round the edges and leave it as it is

Its the V6 MEC reference that gets me, when the reg plate is V614 MEC.

Iv replied in your V6 thread btw Jed, might be something you've already tried or a load of crap but thought it may be worth something
