ok not gonna be as good as the others. cos i dont have that many pics of the early days! hehe plus i generally do mass mods at once!
anyways here is ho wmy wee corsa started out. totally standard. with my baby face mughshot in here too. yes they r number plate surrounds
then along came some sri mirrors. refrubed rims and a black v grille. to the rear tinted rears and an irmy spoiler!
at some point between this. some facelifts were purchased..not the best pic!
next up was a steiny grille
and then a wee accident with a kerb...eekk
couldnt drive on those sooo....along came some lenso rs5's in 15" it was then i realised it was hiiiigh! haha
got scared with me sri mirrors so took em off for a while. also picked up a new exhaust (had an sri one) it was jap style and peco tho
couldnt live with the jap style. so picked up a 2nd hand z-ex backbox...yes still riding high!
front end changed a bit with a laguna splitter, didnt fancy the irmscher route like so many others!
the bam...down 40mm on jamex springs
then for interior. hated my sxi seats so picked up some LUSH sxi+ half leathers
got fed up of worrying bout sri's so got some dtms..but nooooooo. they were chrome (very very very cheap!)
loved the stlye but hated the chrome. so sprayed them matt black!
heres how it stood for a wee while!
then uh oh. an accident on a bristol road trip meant my wheels needed repairing! didnt have the time or cash to sort them out. needed to get back to uni! so picked myself up these....and this is how it stands now!
and there she is!
i havent added in bits like b pillar trim. side repeaters de badging etc. u will notice these happen as i go along!
Thanks

where did you get the springs from Chaz?
looks perfect on the 15s, I think the 18s are a bit too big
