iv just turned 17 and new to modding iv got a 02 corsa 1.2 SXI with 13,000 miles on the clock. iv a few things in mind but if anybody had some ideas on mods that would improve perfomance since its brand new the body looks ok but ill de badge and de lock it
im thinkin of a new induction kit and i was wonderin if i did would i need to do the hole exhaust system from the manifold out ?

Its a 1.2 so its not worth spending the money on it for performance.. get your self a decent exhaust, a decent induction kit. badgless grille! lower it, bigger wheels.

16's look too small for a Corsa C imo. Multi spoke 17's look the business on my mates, but each to their own.

16 is probably the best bet.

Its all about the offset, get as close to et49 as possible, probably get away with anything over et40 though.

Mintex seem to be good brakes, can get a set of discs and pads pretty cheap on ebay Buy It Now.
Painting the drums etc is all down to taste, I think it looks good depending on the colour of the car in contrast to the colour your painting the drums! Again you can get cheap paint on ebay, I think someone had a tin on here for a tenner recently....
