After 3 years of ownership I decided to part company with my Corsa c , brilliant car never let me down and didn't cost me much to run/maintain
Anyway it hit 100k miles and I fancied something a bit bigger and a bit quicker than a 1.2
Pictures of the Corsa c incase you didn't know
And here's the replacement went all the way to Wales for it but when I saw it I knew it was the one , had to be black but finding a good example in black is difficult believe me I looked at a lot of them !
35,000 miles FSH , 1 owner from new and totally standard
Here it is
Pics off the website
When I picked it up it rained how typical :/
First thing first it didn't have any floor mats
VXR ones (genuine ones) were £154 !!!!
Astra ones were £26 so it was a no brainier
Few shots from when I cleaned it
50/50 on the bonnet
Changed the airbox intake pipe to a bigger one
Comparison
Engine bay pics before and after a clean

Very nice. Keyless too 
Get some led number plate bulbs. And insignia mist washer jets. They are loads better.

Revitup seem to shift a lot of stock. Seem to have a good rep too, but their prices are fucking crazy. Hope you didn't pay full asking?

I know I said I prefer them standard but when you hear a modified one drive past you they do sound the bollocks

Looks awesome that VXR mate, I was tempted by one of these last year, great cars. My mate round the corner had that z20let engine in his corsa c, very quick little thing.

Lovely motor. As said, Rev it up always seem to have some lovely cars in stock.
One thing I would do is remove the led sidelight bulbs as they look completely out of place against the halogen headlight bulbs.

Vegas Phil - thanks , I must admit I was a bit sceptical about the name , but all the cars in the showroom (unit) are of a really high standard and 99% of them are top spec models. Good garage
Andycorsasport - way ahead of you insignia washer jets are on and led sidelights and number plate lights
Ben J - some of the prices on the cars are high, I got him down from the asking price
Mark W - it is , one owner from new everything is standard on it no mods at all
Thanks Kenny I am tempted to mod it I'm not going to lie
Shep - I bet that sounds the nuts , not cheap a turbo back system !
Gav didn't take you long did it ha ha
Kev , you're right he does. Mike price is his name brilliant bloke
Thanks anth
I was gonna do a zlet conversion but I wanted to grow up a little lol

I would highly recommend Eibach Pro 30mm speings for a nice subtle comfortable drop if you do decide to lower it

Had eibach springs on mine, it was fairly decent.
Sold mine now, got bored of the noise and realised that was the only decent thing about it
