Quite a few people seem to be making these threads so i thought i'd have a go 
Haven't got any pics when i first got the car, but 1 month before my 18th birthday my mum and dad brought me a 1.0 12v corsa envoy with 17,000 miles on the clock. wasn't nothing special to look at but i loved it.
First mod i done was a lovely set of lexus lights lol  , i thought they looked good at the time, at the same time brought a universal fit back box which looked and sounded terrible.
Then that christmas my girlfriend brought me a set off alloy wheels.
Here's how it looked for a while
On my first trip to santa pod me and captin rosco both raced our 1.0's up the strip ( didn't get a great time for some reason  lol)
Then i started to see sence off came the lexus lights
fitted my kamei grill
Soon after these photo's my bodged on universal exhaust fell off lol, and was replaced by a more subtle custom made back box
Then after working a few extra hours managed to get enough money to have the car lowered at last lol ( no more corsa jeep )
The car stayed like this till end of may when i decided as i was browsing around halfords that the car needed some black wheels, so i ordered my new matt black monza's which where fitted the night before PVS 05. Only have a couple of pics.....
The wheels completly changed the whole look of the car, and i loved it.
The car stayed this way for a couple of months until, it came into contact with a lamp post while driving in the rain. While it was off the road i managed to source new colour coded bumpers which i fitted a seat cordoba splitter to, and a gsi spoiler, also a corsa club interior was fitted to smarten up the old fashioned grey interior ( thanks to Russ for the seats ) The accident changed the car for the better  
Couple of pics taked at the santa pod rwyb night special by a friend of mine who is the santa pod offical photographer
and thats how she finished up.....
always wanted to fit a 2.0L but the job i had at the time i could never have afforded it. I sold the car to a mate of mine who only kept it for 2-3 months and sold it. Still very gutted about selling this car and if i had the spare money i would buy it back tomorrow and finish it. I see the car most day's the guy who own's it now doesn't take care of it which piss's me off  .
Here's the last pics day before i sold it
Thanks for looking
