Read this on The Corsa, I think you said it's slightly different to Arden blue? Looks fantastic though mate.

I done the trim black to make the kit stand out a bit more
And yea it's a slightly different shade of blue light was a mistake but IMO its nicer

3. Respray back in arden blue
4. Paint the cage same black as trims
5. Convert to 5 stud

7. Finish interior by painting a and b piller black

Purchasing a gsi corsa aswell hopefully in the next weeks

Have a bit of a update now guys actually managed to find a gsi there's a very very very small handful of these over here
The shells pretty decent with only the bonnet boot floor and boot lid to sort shells solid
But the paint is in bits so unfortunately it ain't gonna see the road under my ownership anyway
so the plan is swap the 1.6 into my blue one
and fit the 2.0 turbo to this and make a decent track car out of this
ive the whole loom out and dash out so I'm going to drop the engine out Friday and try get it in the blue one over weekend right so some specs
its a vauxhall corsa gsi in grey
1.6 gsi
4 branch manifold
decat
full Ashley exhaust. Lovely rasp from it
superchipped ecu
lockwood dials red leds
richbrook gear knob it's pretty sweet like a type r metal one
full bilstens shocks 60mm rear eibach and 40 front
speedlines with 4 new tyres
gsi brakes with drilled and grooved discs

Right lads a bit of a update but its probley a waste of my time though
A lot has happened over the last couple of weeks my next plan is I want a corsa track car
The plan was buy a decent gsi corsa
fit the 1.6 engine to my blue corsa and fit my 2.0 turbo to the gsi along with alot of other track goodies
Got a grey gsi a few weeks ago but unfortunately she was well past it rot everywhere I stripped it of its goodies and bought another this red 95 gsi for an absolute steal she's spotless interiors mint and she near genuine bar a few bits

Here's a pic of my 3 corsas grey one was scrapped today
There's bearly any Gsis in Ireland but here I've two in me drive bought within a week lucky to get them

Bit messy and with a horrible cone filter the blue ones almost finished happy out
Decat full Ashley exhaust and a power chipped ecu

Will be getting the red one on the road and the blue one will be going into storage to get rear discs 5 stud and turbo fan blades sorted also to get the conversion wrapped up fully
Huge plans for this stay tuned

Hello guys been a while since I logged in but been browsing about
Lost track of what's got done to be honest the red gsi has come a fair way but unfortunatly she's not as genuine anymore
I've about 90% of the goodies built up for the blue let
C20let f28 quaife diff full 6 point Sparco cage and Sparco strut braces rear disc beam
Brand new rear calipers new pads and discs all round refurbished 288 front calipers 5 stud hubs rear are new and 2 sets of cav turbo fan blades
I'll let the pics do the talking for now and I'll write up a bit at the bottem
ALL COMMENTS WELCOME !!!
The gsi is the run about while the gsi alloys make the blue one loom shit IMO
Also have this c20xe Astra

Bought 6 of these

Finishing off buying bits to get to work on blue one

Getting the blue one ready for cage

And my Astra
