Well after an unfortunate cornering accident which saw the end of my 5 door i had to start the search for a new car and found this one......
its got 15 inch fox racing multi spoke alloys, savage back box, K&N induction kit, lowered 40mm, alpine head unit, 6x9's, sub woofer, amp and alarm and remote central locking.
going to change the indicators over later to the smoked ones I've got and going to start looking for a gsi spoiler for the boot and some smoked front lights.

wow, that must be a rare colour on a corsa! cant say I've ever seen one that colour before.
Id say either get some rear flaps to match the fronts or remove the fronts,
remove the pre 97 rubstrips etc.
I like it though. Looks smart!

Looks like a nice one you found 
Nice colour too 
Get some rear flaps, gsi/sri spoiler, and lower it a bit. Then sit back and admire

Yeah I'm thinking of taking the rub strips off, definitely on the hunt for a spoiler and rear mud flaps, i need to accumulate some money before i lower it any more. the color is pretty mint, and well rare as you say. cheers for the comments guys

no probs mate, Id advise you get a more subtle plate mind! if your looking to save money to slam it you don't want to be paying out £30 if the police pull you.

I know these arn't smoked but if you find a smoke set they look smart.

You could pick a full kit up for around £175-200 I reckon...then theres having it sprayed etc...
Im sure you could reserve some of that student loan

too true, never see many about in this colour, seems the gsi rep is on every rio verde owners mind, a change of plans is needed................

well i thought that too and the cheaper way to make it nice was just post 97 bumpers, gloss black the black trim then get black cavs rims, so dont go stealing my idea now!
