right thought id start my project again from the beggining.
ive had my corsa for about 3 years now it was pretty much standard 1.2 s reg sxi in black, apart from being lowerd and a cherry bomb backbox, which certainly made alot of noise. it had no other mods.
i slowly started to mod it which included smoked headlights verous alloys 2.0l breaks and other stuff wish i had taken photos.
then i decided to save for a full respray and a kit, i had an overall idea of how it was to turn out and how i wanted it.
kit included reiger rs front bumper
reiger rear
ms design sideskirts
compamotive mo,s 16s
storm single wiper with smooth arm.
i orderd the front and rear wiper from cossvaux which was a big mistake.
the day cam when i took my car down to the bodyshop they wanted to start work on it but my bumpers hadn't arrived yet butthey started with other things
i had the siderepeters smooted off.
after a few weeks of waiting from will at cossvaux for him to piss me off and nick my money,i had to source thebumpers again thanks.
i baught allnew arches while at it and the bumpers arrived
and had the front numberplate recess smoothed
but then desaster struck again the bodyshop moved premises and my skirts and spoiler where left at the old unit which they lost 
so they orderd another set of skirts for me and a new spoiler which wasn't cheep think £240 for it from vauxhall.
when all arrived it didn't take long to finish it
so the work i had done was,
reiger rs front bumper with numberplate recess smoothed
reiger rs rear bumper
badboy bonnet with washer nozzels smoothed over
siderepeters smoothed
colourcoded everything
vectra rear doorhandles which have no locks in
rear numberplate fixing holes smoothed and wiper and lock smoothed.
reiger black mesh front and back
and beesting arial and holder painted.
the end resut i really love

right second part.
i had the car like that for about 4 to 6 months on the road.
was then going to take it off the road to put a valver in it. i dropped on a cav gsi for sale for £250 the guy who was selling it just go it back because it was stolen then recoverd. so i baught it then stripped it for parts.
then the day before i was taking it off the road sum guy in a transit van smacked into the side of me which some of you may have seen in earlier posts.
so after another 2 monthes of looking like that i had it repaired but along the way i added a rear disk conversion
powerflex bushers.
and breaklines
then i dropped on a calibra turbo. the guy didnt know what was wrong with it because it sounded shocking. but after a friend came and saw it was a plastic cambelt roller. the guy took my 500 notes and i had a let.
started to stip it and found that it had a recond turbo and that the head had never been off
so i made my money back on the cally so i got a let for nowt
then gotmy corsa repaird
they did an excellant job.
