Well where do i start, i was coming up to my 17th birthday and i needed to pick a car.
Found my self wanting a Corsa, so then looked for a site and found this one.. wat a great help lol
so here i start just after i passed me test:
The day after i passed i got the alloys fitted with tyres and a head unit!
Was ok for a start, drove it like a go-kart and thought i could beat everything off the road.
Then went to a CS meet and was told i must get a spoiler so taa daaa!
Was painted bi someone off here and because i was in a rush they did a shite job
Then my first and only current show, this was when i discovered i couldnt paint for shit.
check out the colour match on the mirrors and door handles
Got rid of my ghey handles and nicked some of jamesvalver:
Better
Then some ghetto wipers and had me wheels redun in gloss black:
Im starting to feel like im writing an eassy here so im sorry im nearly done!
A few final pics from today, GSi skirts, Door builds, Boot Build and tigra scuttle pannel are all in the mix somewhere there are loads more little touches just check me garage!
Well i have bored u all enough and yes before i u say i need to lower it and sort the rear arches out!
Plus some more things

really really really needs to be lowered, however, its really starting to take shape, you have a nice black on silver theme going on and it looks special. Keep up the good progress, should look lovely come show season.
