hi,

just got my first vauxhall, lovely red corsa b on a w with just 60k on the clock! absolutely love it even though its only a 12v. not to bad for a 3 potter lol.

i'm looking at either buying a new corsa b redtop or converting this one if anyone could do it as i wouldnt know how to or even find the engine and whatever is needed.

i'm also looking for a few parts like wheels, lights and as mine hasn't got the spoiler, one of those

any help and advice is much appreciated, thanks, i'm also based in south shields near newcastle for any parts available thanks

Welcome

Have a good read through this...

http://www.corsa-novatuning.nl/uk/PartsB.htm

...and you should get a better idea of what you need for a conversion.

Also in future there's a section for Help threads and in the Classifieds section you can post a wanted ad for bits you may want

Also suspension, you could just get shocks and springs or coilovers which are adjustable.
These coilovers id say are the best

Spax RSX
Avo
Gaz golds

But you can also get cheaper ones which aint as good
JOM
FK street

As for shocks and springs theres also better and worse, can go for

Beilsteins
Spax

The list is endless mate lol
