finally i have a corsa had to travel 90 miles to get it but hey ive got 1 now lol so i got it home thinkin that i had bought a nice wee corsa to find that i have a fair few holes in the bloody thing 2 under the seat 1 which is the alan key bolt 1 then about 2 inches from that 1 to find another 1 great not so nice little corsa lol


then i took my p/s rear plastic to find this

not impressed this thing is turning into a rust heap lol

so i got a few parts for it off my mate gsi front bumper





semi smoothed boot this was a bonus coz it was the same colour as my car lol




then sold the gsi bumper then got a post 97 front bumper which im sanding down gettin ready to spray




im not to sure what to do with it yet weather to spray ithe same colour as the car or spray bumpers and arches gloss black yet i duno.

im not to sure what to do with it next im open to sudgestions if you could give me some idea's

cheers guys

joe

get that rust sorted out, i had the same problem with my sri.
Have you had a good look round as there might be more rust?

Out of interest how much did you pay for it, and any MOT?
And why did you sell the gsi bumper?

sorry to much questions lol.

not to sure about the stright fit for the tigra although has been done before someone on here im sure.

are you talking about the inner arches 'plastic arch'

if so there is around 3-4 plastic nuts then pull it out take wheel off though.

never saw a corsa with anythign like that type of rust in my life to have that hole in the inner wheel arch. altho suspiciously it looks to have had a 1.4 panel because the inside is black like a new panel. maybe something wierd going on there
