Recent change of circumstances meant I needed a new daily motor to comute to and from work, obviously I don't want to have the Corsa out the garage daily so picked up this extremely clean Zafira 1.8i SRI.



It's been very well looked after, only 2 owners from new and 73k over 10 years. It's very similar to the GSI with the body styling, leather recaros, climate control and then a few factory extras; dvd player, xenon headlights.

It's lowered on Blisten shocks & springs, cat back stainless exhaust, FOX 18" alloys and 308mm drilled and groved breaks.



Went to Wales to pick her up, nice 300 mile round trip but was well worth it am very happy with her

Couple of things I've changed already, it came with a swan neck so first thing was have that off.







As you can see from the above pictures the exhaust was sitting low so spent this evening refitting that to get it to sit better.







Not much planned for this as the idea was to do buy something already very tidy, that was I can concentrate on the Corsa still.

I have some plain number plates on order and looking to get a little lip splitter for the fron - like the one of the Cupra R

Thank

Looks really nice that for a bus!! I think GSi wheels or VXR 18's would look better on it. More oem.

No unfortunately I need the space for running gear around in it, so it will just be a daily but kept very clean and go to events along side the Corsa

Any boot has more room than the Corsa, now I dont have to put stuff ontop of car matts on the audio!!

I run a lot of stuff about with work, so I needed the boot space. I did think of getting a van, but prefer this and will make a nice family motor one day

Time for me to put my own stamp on the SRi and I've always had a love for Snowflakes but couldn't put them on the Corsa, so was at the top of the list for the Zafira!!



Oh and it looks like someone ordered audio products to my work by accident, addressed to me!!





I'm not sure where is heading, but the wife isn't pleased!!

I think the VXR 18" Snowflakes (like Jambo put on his Astra Coupe Turbo) would suit this better - the 19" Snowflakes look a bit too big on this IMO.

Looks pretty smart otherwise though.

Perfectly for my liking, that's the main thing

The 19's fill the arches much better and the way it looks now I probably won't bother with coilovers, where as on the 18's there was far to much arch gap.

Unfortunately with this photo being taken with the bus part on a sideways slope, it doesn't show how it sits perfectly now on the 19's.

Picked up some new centre cap stickers for the snowflakes last week. As the Zafira has the Opel grill and OPC badges, wanted to change from the Griffins on the Snowflakes.



This evenings job was fitting the new Espace splitter, was a dog of a job is was to get it sat right. Meant drilling into the underside of the bumper, but its bolted on and fitted well and Im happy with how it looks.







Thanks
