Well I was wrong about it not smoking  I got home one day as noticed the exhaust was jet black..oops. Sneeky corsa must have been smoking when I wasn't looking 
So I've blasted it down the motorway a couple more times and the exhaust isnt getting half as sotty as it was which is a bonus. Still a little bit though. Today I watched my rear view mirror a lot more and its not smoking at all under load. Its when its idled for a while like at a junction or traffic lights it'll puff out a bit when you change from first to second. Just need to keep a close eye on it. Hopefully it will clear up eventually.
Yesterday I gave the corsa the full spar treatment ready for the WM today which was cancelled in the end  Seeing as the weather so nice today I went out for a drive and took some pics while it was nice and shiny

Cheers man
The plans to do before pvs are -
Bumper recess's vinyled
New exhaust tip (either 3" or 3.5" outwardly rolled)
False floor
full underseal
Maybe a bodyshop trip if funds allow, there a few little bits bugging me lol
Probably more as well but thats the main bits. Other than that I havent got much more planned for it now.

Cheers Mark I did think about it yeah. I bought a post 97 airbag wheel ages for it but I couldn't get it to fit so I sold it on. Thats the only others ones I really like Got any ideas?
Battery bags FTW  Looks so much nicer than the chrome tray I had. Definitely get one for yours, they make a big difference in the bay.
Just posting a few pics from my garage to update the title pics -

Thanks everyone
Cheers Lee, the smoking getting better and better *touch wood* Didn't see any today apart from on stat up but its always done that so fingers crossed its nearly cleared up! The battery bag was something like £14 I think. I bought it second hand though from Turbochris off here.
Ryan, tell me about it mate lol. God it was a state when you saw it Nice a clean now though!
Andy them magic trees send you high at first Left it in the bag for a bit so I could still breathe lol
kevcr how much you after for it mate? Got the centre cap and that? Not 100% what Im doing about the spare yet but i'll let you know!
Plan for this weekend is to take the sump off....again. Bloody things leaking. We forgot to put a blob of sealant on one of the points so its spraying out. Shouldn't take too long hopefully this time
