when i first bought it a couple of weeks ago it was completely standard


i did like it but the wheels were scuffed to hell and there was a lot of body-roll. so luckily i got paid this week and started work on it. excuse the phone pics

First i managed to get my hands on a show-cage that my mate had sitting in his shed for ages



then i got a gold painted rocker cover for a fiver, bargain


40mm apex springs from a 1.2 corsa, used for 150 miles £20. so got fitting them yesterday


i got a set of rims ive wanted for ages, on both of my last 2 corsa's, need low pros though



got a piper exhaust and a rage one, £30 the pair

piper on the left, rage on the right

thats the rage one, would be loud as, but i dont want anything too loud, so settled for the piper one

so with a bit of customisation, including welding on new brackets, we managed to get it sticking out at quite an original angle, it was either that or it wasnt going on but it looks quite cool!



thats all ive done for now, will get some new pics on my camera soon as.

Plans for next month are...
front splitter
smoked headlights and side reps
