Bought this about June 2007 for £920, PSH, totally standard and clean, 46k miles
Here's some of the current modifications, starting with the bad..
bad points
The temperature in the MFD doesn't work, I have tried new 'siemens' plugs, but no joy, maybe it's the MFD itself?
I had a go at semi-smoothing my boot, this is why you should always weld first:
Dent in the passenger door due to ice...needs to be replaced ideally.
I was fitting new shoes and could not get the drum back on so I punched my rear quarter which results in the filler coming off, so I quickly fillered the rear quarter again and sprayed it (wasn't arsed to sand it down, it looks better than it did...also, please note in the picture it's not been lacquered, so it's not a bad paint match)
Dents in the roof also caused by anger:
and last but definitely least, both B pillars are starting to crack:
good points
Right, enough of the bad bits, let's move on with the good bits.
Full cally leathers
Orange needles (no, I don't know what I was thinking either)...
15" TSW alloys (little scuffed, better than steelies)
Professional install rear and front tints:
White Astra side reps:
Begun an install of electric mirrors and windows, the loom is in the doors now, need the motors and the interior loom (also begun custom door pods but not so sure due to security issues in Grimsby)
Avital Thatcham Cat 1 alarm installed by audioisland.co.uk:
Corsa CMON!
Vibe 3-way Slick SEK-69 speakers, 525w peak, 175w RMS:
and the latest addition is a 7" dvd player (that's ice age 3...)
future plans
-sort the dents (been quoted £40)
-respray rear quarter and a new door (been quoted £200)
-finish semi-smooth boot
-finish electric windows&mirrors
-install electric sunroof
-depos
-MHW's / irmy rear lights
-white speedline alessios
-Coilovers
-full sport interior
-more audio goodys
-rip out the awful 1.2 8v
That's all for now

I had a PS2 in my Corsa.
Bin the inverter. You can get a 12v connector on ebay if its a slimline. Save yourself the hassle!
