This is partly the reason why I think it's feature worth.

Not only does it look stunning, but it'd make a great story imho.

You've done everything right in essence. Built it before you passed or were even 17 so you could take your time. You saved for it. And it's only an X10XE, so you have cheap insurance but great looks.

imho they'd be made to turn down a feature on it just because it isn't a C20XE or X16XE or something.

I've picked up a copy of TV so I know what details/pics they need Started drafting a spec sheet tonight to send over to them aswell.

But as you say Deano. Its the engine which is going to hold it back still think 12v's rule though!

They're daft if they hold it back just because it has a 12v. Not even the slowest of the bunch

Not updated this in a while Not much modification wise has happened to the corsa lately due to a combination of me breaking it and it breaking itself

As some of you know I got pulled by the police on the way to the MFN cruise. Had only been driving about a month so crapped myself wondering what I'd done and managed to kerb my alloys when stopping for them...whoops! They will be getting refurbed over the winter. I then dropped my headunit on the floor a few weeks later which completely knakered that Then the heater matrix went last week but I bought a second hand one off ebay and got it fitted last weekend and its all sorted now. So all in all its not been a good few weeks for the little corsa lol.

With the nights drawing in I noticed my headlight bulbs where seriously crap! So bought a set of xenon 50% brighter ones off ebay along with some LED side lights which are so much better Look cool as well!

Was bored this afternoon so decided to go for a little drive and took some pictures of the car to try out my new camera. Didnt wash the car and only gave it a quick wipe other with a microfibre cloth lol so sorry for the lack of shiny paint in some of the pics



























So future plans for the car are currently
- New headunit
- Interior touches
- wheel refurb
- Engine bay tidy up

Absolutely love this worthy of a feature in Total Vauxhall even with the 12v engine, as you have a fantastic story to tell etc

Looks awesome in this picture:

easily one of the best cars on here for sure.

My only lsight niggle is that irmscher badge on the front grill, once reomved it will neaten up the front a bit more. imo that is

I'd say the opposite, because the car is so white and grill so black, in some pictures you can't even see the slats so looks like you're a pikey with no grill. The badge breaks it up etc
