23|10|04-pretty much a standard state but not for long
29|12|04-New smooth boot,bad boy bonnet and m3 mirrors starting to look good imo
10|04|05 whey just got my new corsa gsi kit sadly its in flame red but i am going to fit it any way all together cost 275
13|05|05 nearlly all the kit is on, gonna look sweet when sprayed i think
28|08|05 she returns,now with metal flake and smooth bumpers
28|09|05 alloys,exhaust and new sump fitted all looking good now
23|10|05 gave her a bloody good polish,fitted my colour coded door handles and gsi badges
23rd Jan 2006:been lowering it,fitting my seats etc, generally getting it ready for the mot (she passed)
27th jan 2006 :Smoked headlights where fitted when it arrived home again along with front and rear strutbraces and harness
Stayed like this until about a week before pvs where i rushed about and fitted my sterio and door cards, took these pics after pvs looking her best at this point i think
then after a couple more shows i polished her for the first time in a month or so so heres the latest pics
My future plans include dropping a c16se ito the engine bay with dbilias throttle bodies and cam,four branch manifold,uprate spark plug and leads, remove the smooth boot and replace with a semi smooth boot and standard rear bumper, get all the interior retrimmed,re-build the boot build and make a tv build to replace the ashtray.
i shall update this thread along the journay

I thought it could have looked different (in a good with) with the red bumpers. Or is that just me?!

i am afraid to say i didnt build the car to please everyone i built it to please me, i personally like the spoiler and mirrors alothought he spoiler will be changed for a standard one for a smoother look,
i dont want it to look standard as it isnt a standard car thats why i am keeping my little touches which make it mine and not just another black gsi rep, sorry if i do not please some of you but i am not here to please everyone the car represents my personality i suppose,

Looks very nice and tidy mate, i think you should keep it and do the engine conversion as its really nice and I've only seen 2 black gsi reps, but its up to you...
If you do end up selling/splitting let me know
