hi all, i'm copying this over from corsa-b.co.uk. been on this forum for a little while now and have finally decided to put my project up.
so i got it December 2008 completely standard.
bought some terrible lights, which were later removed.
im gonna cut it down a but cause its all a bit long copying over.
After a good clean, i bought myself some alloys and new low profile tyres.
i then bought the full corsa sport interior.
i then got hold of some silver bumpers, and put them on, after painting up some rusty areas.
i then lowered it 60 at the front 40 rear, which it then looked like this:
to cut a story short i took a few pics of how it stands, sportex back box, blue calipers.
bringing it right up to date now,
after a bit more more, a good clean and polish it now looks like this:
im now in the process of fitting new doors to the car as mine have a few dents in.
to read my full project log, heres the link:

I've done one of the doors ready to go on Saturday, its been buffered , and its perfect. I've also found the easy way to getting the rubble strip glue off. chewing gum Remover! just burns it away the other door ive decided is no good, but ive got a third door im just gonna get resprayed.
the pic is pretty poor, its going on tomorrow so ill take a picture with it on. i should hopefully be getting my hands on some rev counter clocks tomorrow as well
got my clocks today from pick a part, with rev counter, £8 i was well happy with that, i was willing to pay up to £30 lol

I like that! Nice and simple and it looks very clean.
Set of sideskirts would finish it of a treat

yeah thats what im looking for next, in two minds though, cause when i go over bumps, the mudflaps hit the ground, im worried that if i put the sideskirts on , they'd scrape aswell?

Skirts would sit a a bit higher than the mudflaps unless you got really deep ones.
