Hey all, This is the car I picked up on sat and have been waiting for a while. I got rid of the old jelopy because it was starting to feel it's age and my student loan was burning a hole in my pocket  
I have a few plans for it;
-Tints
-Some sounds
-the rear spoiler (It should have:cursing: )
-Colour code, possibly even a GSi rep. kit
-and possibly alloys+ lower it
I'm happy with the car, It isn't the fastest but it's a good drive- much better than the corsa:unsure: oh, and before someone goes off on one saying " uurgh! but it's a five door......." I don't wanna know

I have seen plenty of SXi's without spoilers, so don't think it has been stolen or anything.
Looks like it could do with the later front and rear lights, that are slightly darker.

Nah, I know- it's just that they look better with the spoiler fitted IMO

I agree, much better - even seen a 3 door without a spoiler, looks proper weird.
Do you plan to change the lights?

Possibly, It's not a priority in my list of things but I'm going to go for the darker ones that are available- like on the later models

Yeah. They are the ones I mean. Irmy rears are a bit expensive tbh. Can't go wrong with the darker standard Vaux ones

Can also get cheap debadged grills (like for Corsa B's) and then shove an Irmy badge on it - always looks smart

Now you come to mention it - I was going to say in the first pic it could be where the camera moved but it's the same in the 2nd.
