Well it all started 3 years ago when i got a bog standard 1999 1.2 16v sxi with 40000 miles on the clock sadly now 78000miles. I have not had much luck as in damage to the car and engine sensors goin wrong here's the story's
-1- a few weeks after i got it oh whats that the bloody engine management light is on and now the car has hardly any power, well after it got fixed at vauxhall "that will be £280 please" whaaaaaaat the problems were allegidly air mass meter and crank sensor but £280 jeeez.
-2- i was having a nice drive and bang a woman in a ford Ka drives into the side of me at a junction, just as i was thinking please don't pull out pleeeeease, at least i got to see in the rear view her bumper rolling down the road lol, her insurance payed for that.
-3- college car park someone put a big scrap in the side (PIC) don't know who.
-4- I was parked in inverary (if ya know where that is) PARKED and then some git reverses into the side of me and keeps reversing because he's so retarded and didn't realise, but then phoned his insurance company before me and said it was me, i didn't know corsa's were fitted with sideways driving capabilies. so lost my no claims .
-5- rear plastic wheel arch thing fell off somewhere within a 120mile drive, got a new vauxhall one £30
stuff done see pics!!

(lexus lights have been removed)






needs reprayed

K+N silver tape is because pipe is slightly split




damage


used to have a blue gearknob but kept falling off so a red sparco that was lying around will do

clear side repeaters

modern wipers


old centre section

new remus centre section

new reducer needed welded on to the magnex backbox pipe because old one rusted through
TO-DO
respray bonnet and wings and possibly astra gsi vents
get wheels refurbed gloss black
gsi side skirts
gsi front bumper with steinmetz carbon fibre splitter
cheers

looks alright that does mate, few chavvy bits but not bad tbh.

-4- I was parked in inverary (if ya know where that is) PARKED and then some git reverses into the side of me and keeps reversing because he's so retarded and didn't realise, but then phoned his insurance company before me and said it was me, i didn't know corsa's were fitted with sideways driving capabilies. so lost my no claims .

^^ a bloke in a van drove into the side of my old corsa and wrote it off. he told his insurance company i drove into his car.. i simply said, ''well fuck me, i never knew my car could drive sideways''... what idiot in their right mind would possibly say i could put the side of my car into the front of their car without doing any damage to the front of mine?
