i just cba to do anything with the corsa atm i dont know what i want to do with it!

i smashed it in a hedge a few months back:


now its had a new wing and gearbox and standard headlights but the gearbox is sloppy as and the wing is still black unpainted and beginning to react and rust...

i dont know whether to split and move on or persevere and just get it in a body shop and finished.. well exterior anyway..

plans were origionally something like this:


but then i bought some white speedlines and went in this direction:


at the minute its got a gsi front thats slowy falling apart so i need to replace that and im thinking a post 97 tbh..

but then i see pics from llandudno and i think it looked great..

sorry for the random rant, all suggestions, comments, views apreciated..

what is it a 1.2 8v ? Dont make the same mistake i did in throwing money at a corsa, get it decent looking and leave it at that.

IMO in the bottom picture it looks perfectly fine .

I think you should go back to pre 97 mate. And sell the speedlines. Go for some fanblades Can't remember who it was, but they had an SRi in white fanblades and it was fucking ace!

no fake carbon, strip it and tune it, get a 1.6 or something and all will be restored

Get the wing painted for all it will cost & run it into the ground. Save up for your next car & hope the corsa lasts!! IMO!

would be different tbh but think it was like £250-300 including moulding costs per bumper

what are 2.0 8 valves like compared to an xe?, obviously bomb proof which is never a bad thing but what are they like in terms of power and driveability?

Either run it into the ground or if you want to keep driving a corsa buy a nice late plate sport.

Wouldn't be wasting money on a 1.2 8v tbh
