At long last after lurking about all the classified forums autotrader and ebay I picked up my Corsa for the GF today.

Got it for £1150.
Bit more than I wanted to pay but it's a 1998 1.6 16v and looks OK with only 64000 miles so not bad really.

Next question is anyone evr fitted calibra leather seats?
Do I need to make brackets?
Does the back seat fit?

Front Calli seats are straight swap!!! but i would think with slight modding the rears would too, but dont hold me to it!

rears are a pain in the back side

the back part you lean against, your best taking your original seats and the cally seats and asking a trimmer to stich the leather into your old seats

calibra fronts are easy but rear needs a bit of playing with

Seems a bit cheap that. Is there something wrong with it?

Rears are easy

take the foam and leather from the calibra bench, strip the corsa back bench to metal and it fits right over, put the original calibra buttom bebch in! piece of cake

can also fit in the rear calibra door cards with some modding, check the pics in 'my garage'

Hi guys.
Thanks for the replies.

Ed -
don't want to lower it, too many speed humps near me.
Smooth boot, would be nice but something I would rather buy done just need spraying.
Lights look OK to me, best lexus style ones I have seen myself.
Alloys - still have the 17's off my calibra... will be fixed soon.

Nowt worth mentioning really.
Center cap missing from wheel, surface rust round rear wiper and minor stone chips, rear tyres need replaceing and fronts are odd.
It's got a stainless cat back exhaust and k&n, elec windows etc... would look better with GSI front bumper.

yep, oil not goldern but still smells un-cooked and no white gunk... water has no oil either.

It has full service history till 3,000 miles ago.
Belt was done 45,000 due in the next 10 thou my mate tells me (grease monkey for vaux).

Wheels are antiques, from back in Nam or well mid 90s at least!

Lose the lexus lights too, but not a bad price for a 1.6 16v!
