I.e
Daves C4
Petes C3
Donnas
Andys
etc...
you are obsessed with ancient show corsas, its all you go on about 
plenty cars getting resprayed, just don't see many on here. its because the value of most cars here don't justify the cost of a respray like most said, or the newer cars don't need them.

Yeah, its ALL I go on about isn't it.... 
Indeed, I ahve no life, i sit and dream about former past showcars, that is my life....
No, these cars had major resprays, and were from my era. There are plenty of others, that boyracers car, theres a local XE round here thats a brown sparkly paint, a local lad around maidstone who had glitter paint etc..
Do you know those people???? Those cars?
I bet you know of the ones i've mentioned thogh, hence another reason to mention them, as they were well known.

Just remember seeing pic on here years ago about that engine. Was a 1.6 16v on TB wasn't it (if i've got the right person)?
Pics were of your car, the engine n such... Car had bumpers with rather a lot of mesh (arden blue sport?).

First one was originally black then changed to arden blue, second one was originally silver then changed to olympic blue. Not the same car's as alot of people think.

Any excuse...
Corsa number 1
Corsa number 2
both done by the same bodyshop, i actually thought the quality of paintwork on the first one was better, maybe just because arden blue is a pearl rather than the flat olympic blue.
