After being on here for a couple of months and looking through the projects and builds i thought i'd add mine up for comments and criticism 
First off i got the car back in June 07 off my brother when i passed my test, its a 2000 Corsa Envoy 1.0 12v in arden blue, got it for £600 with 38,000 on the clock  bargin
When i got the car it was completely standard so in the early days i did the usual mistakes, 17" alloys, big bean can exhaust which i really want to change now for something like a sebring 6x4 but cant afford at this time(unfortunately i dont have any pics of the early days)
But after i while i realised my mistakes so got some smaller alloys which i personally like the look of, not to everyones taste.
I then:
- Got coloured rear bumper
- Tinted the windows
- Lowered 50mm front and rear on shocks and springs
- Smoked rear lights
After this i got a few small bits like black side repeaters, debadge grille, debadged the boot and got some light tints for the front windows (stop it looking so much like a van)
*Will get pics of these up soon once the car is clean and the weather is good
Sorry for the pic quality, only have a phone camera, will hopefully get a decent camera soon
Any comments or criticisms welcome,
Cheers

well its time for an update
as it was such a nice day today i thought i'd wash the beast, change the rear vauxhall badge to an opel one and change the plates to german style ones (fiver off ebay, top bargin :thumbs
also the pics show some of my earlier updates that i didnt get pics of before. The front tints, black side reps, debadged rear, debadged grille, and of course the cs stickers
an comments and suggestions would be greatly appriciated
