It all started with a pretty neat 99 Corsa B 1.0 (the reason for the name, because this 973cc engine kind of looks like it came out of a blender! )

Here he is, stock mode:


Then I tried a friend of mines 195/60 R15.. just to see out it looked, because with this "beefy" tires... it looked really weird:







It kind of reminded me of a micro-machines car!


Then started the real mods:

I bought some very scraped rims for 50€, which originally looked like this:


Started to degrease it, to prepare for painting:



Then it came the primer:


(the tyres were trash, I got some new ones, don't worry )

And then the final paint job with 2 layers of paint and 2 layers of varnish:


(I wish I had used some feeling primer, the deeper scrapes were still visible!)
Final result:




Than I got a new stereo, and since I'm not a "sound freak", I know JVC has some pretty powerfull entry-level car radios! So I got one, and the original speakers.. sounded like never before! And it's very, very fast skipping through mp3 tracks:




Then I got some lighting.. and Nokya builds the best bulbs I've seen!



Now for a general view of the at the time.
The engine bay, with a cold air intake, from the lower grill to the air box. (note: I removed that secondary air box, I don't really now what it was doing there)





Then came the H&R -35mm springs:

The car got much better in every way (looks, cornering,...):





Then came a Carbon muffler:

which only used it for a couple of days, too noisy!


Then some angel eyes (dont really have a picture of them, sorry guys!)


Bosh aerotwin cleaners:



Then came a BMC CDA, really good stuff.... but my millage droped, so I sold it (20€ more than I got it )




This is the latest picture I have... with al mods (here you can see the angel eyes, well... sort of..):




Sorry for the long post! Hope you gyus enjoy it!
