Exactly, it's all the small things you don't realise!
I don't think I can ever go back to an old car now tbh.
am4nf, I couldn't agree more. Suspension bottoms out easy, plus the noise as my mate on the back seats is propelled onto the roof, I had to pull over as we were all crying with laughter

Update! Had to go down to spice paints this afternoon because I'd left my sat nav in the corsa. Back bumper is pretty much done now Just needs to be flattened back. The guy had forgotten about my bonnet though so gotta wait a little bit longer to get it back. Not in a great rush to get it back so its all cool. Got a couple of pics on my phone to show you lot how it stands at the minute
I've got the fresh paint bug now once i've saved a bit more money it will be going back in again hopefully to have some other bits done
Also, after the west midlands meet on sunday and seeing the like of sean-b's car again i'm seriously considering a gsi front bumper for it. So i'm on the look out for one of those at the moment if anyone's got one they want to sell

Yeah just the bonnet for the minute mate. All I can afford right now. the boot needs doing asap though a big bit of paint had flaked off and the spray job in general on it is shit so I'm gonna get it semi smoothed

when you do have money again you thought about getting the bonnet slightly badboyed like luke d did just to get rid of the gap by the headlights that all corsa's have.
semi smoothed sounds good not my cup of tea though i think it looks too bare then, just the wiper smoothed off would look mint

Pics are working again Got the car back from the bodyshop on monday night. So pleased with the quality of the work. The bonnet was in really bad condition, covered in stone chips, rust, dents etc and was really letting the car down. its perfect now! Back bumper is mint as well
Gave the car a damn good clean inside and out today and went to take some new pics tonight to show the fresh new paintwork!
Also got some really good news this week. New job Was really starting to worry because my old job only gave me a couple of hours work a week so I wasnt earning enough to run the car. Also means I can get my plans done before pvs hopefully!
Plans to be hopefully be done for pvs are:
FK coilovers
Flat blade wipers
Wheels refurb
Semi-smooth boot
Fit my new drivers side door
and a few other bits and bobs

Cheers lads Glad you both like it. Cant wait to get the boot done tbh. Its in really bad condition at the minute as you can see in a couple of the pics. Its been painted badly and I've managed to strip a big patch of paint off with the jet wash
