Can't really afford to insure anything with a bigger engine at the moment, and being only 19, my insurance isn't cheap on my 1.2 anyway, so mods for the 1.2 at the moment, until I hit the over 21 mark and get something better

Yeh, colour code would look a bit smarter
Have looked @ the Steinmetz grill, looks good
Also been looking @ Team Dynamics Monza 17's in White
Wat do we think?

1.2s aren't bad compared to normal runof the mill cars.
i've learn't from my mistakes - save till your 21 and get a proper car, since i hit 21 i can afford things like BMW 325, MR2 Turbos, Scoobys etc
save it fella, im saving like a cunt now and trying to sell ma corsa now!

yes indeed these guys talk sense, save the £'s, although i would save 2000 of it an spend 1000 on wheels, lowering, and colourcoding sorted
an then out of ur wages get an exhaust, drill the airbox, and fit somat like steiny front lip, bit like red_sxi's corsa check his out

You say you got ICE, what about interior mods??
Color-coding the bumpers, grill & springs shouldn't cost the whole 3k, so you may have enough left for a decent set of buckets & if enough left color-code the interior also??
