That's come on a long way mate, at the beginning I was thinking "Oh no, another corsa getting spoilt!" But then you saw sense and did some proper mods!  lol
Where did you get the polished boot struts from mate? Been thinking about getting some for a while cause I got the bonnet ones.
Keep it up!

Thanks mate!
Polished boot struts were bought from a guy off here, but I think lmf do them. Highly likely they'll be on the bay too...

Thanks Willay mate!
I will be at PVS but am a National Organiser and Moderator for AllCorsa so my car will be on the AC stand. I will come over and see you guys though - will be good to meet a few more people as I only really know a few of the South-Central crew

Looking good. Come a long way but definitely worth it so far.
Ive had my corsa 5 years now, 1st 2 years nothing... 3rd year few mods, but mainly engine upgrade from 1.0 to 1.6 but then around a month after that I got a little bored, so bought another car and the poor Corsa was sat on my drive for over 2 years.
Couple of weeks ago I fired it back up and hoping to start my project off again.
Little things I wanted to do, that Ive seen you do definitely confirmed they need doing, seeing as yours looks as good as it does.
For now though... Im just doing the essentials to get it road legal again lol.
Your door card mod... speaker exposed... Did you make and spray that yourself?
Ive got loads of fibreglass moulding I wanna do internally just not sure how well i'd pull it off.
But anyway... im rabbiting on... Well done as mentioned its looking good!

That was a "friendly" person deciding that my car was too nice. Morning of PVS '09, whilst I was at a service station they decided to kick and totally wreck one side of the bumper  It's been repaired 2/3 times now but pretty much the best it's gonna get.

Bought the speaker builds ready done, however here's a tutorial on how to make your own http://corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=135232

I love my rear lights - much less common than smoked MHWs lol!
Wheels were a bargain so couldn't refuse them - eventually will be changed though.
Will keep an eye on SC

Very nice of you mate, but I think it's a fair way off that!
Wait for it to have the let in and some new wheels and we'll see

Right, need some opinions - not sure which wheels I should go for...
Corsa D SXi's
or
Vectra SRi's
Help?!
Also anyone who fancies having a go at a photoshop is more than welcome!

I'm edging towards them, but they have some disadvantages:
About £100-£200 more than Veccys
et40 as opposed to et44 Veccys
Very difficult to find without standard size tyres (195/55/16 thus not needed)
Ideally I want a set of uncommon Vauxhall wheels, et49, 16", 195/45/16 tyres for under £250...
I have no hope!!!

What cars do you see with Corsa D SXi wheels on, there are a few sets of Veccys out there now.
