ok after my old car sadly died the same day my sisters boyfriend sold me a corsa. Only cost me 200 quid and originally only wanted it as a run about.
after about a month of thinking, i decided i wanted to start sorting it out.

it started out with a half red and half white bonnet, it had been bumped before and his mate had tried to fix it up an didnt spray it.

at the time i didnt no fuck all about spraying so i tried my best and it turned out like this. at the same time i sprayed all the trim black, rather than grey


the finish on the bonnet was wank but im having a respray at a later date so thats not a problem.

few weeks after i decided to give it a good clean and t-cut it because the paint had faded to the 'pink' kind of colour that they go lol

came up pretty well




then when i got a bit more money i started buying my parts
got my rear colour coded arches and these skirts first



then bought my spoiler with the break light



then my sisters boyfriend sold me a brand new combat bumper for 40 quid

this 1


thats photoshopped but u get the idea

got myself this rear bumper off ebay


then got a pipercross air filter, gave a good sound not really after gains just yet so does the job


got sum 17's from austin
nice set of rims



bought an exhaust, 6x4 sportex backbox fitted it friday, heres a pic of it off the car, will get some others sorted soon, not over the top sound. Sounds better outside of the car but its a nice subtle sound



next up is to save some money for my respray, i know the bloke whos doing it so im only paying about 600, to have everythign fitted, smoothed and repsrayed in flame red, just need to save money lol it all comes down to the money

done a bit of spraying on the interior, but i want to get it all black on the inside. new door cards etc, new rear seats, reclining buckets in the front, new wheel etc and audio but im going to get the outside finished first
