Right, i sold my black corsa and didnt know what car to get next so i decided to get annother corsa.. im on a budget of £1700 to build the car the way i want it and want it done in a month if all the parts arrive in time etc..

plans are;

15" astra gsi fan alloys in black
Lowered 60mm
colour coded bumpers and arches
2.0 8v engine
smoked front and rear lights
maybe tinted windows
maybe stripped out
debadge grill
GSi sideskirts
GSi spoiler
Few other bits and pices

Anyway this is it now just after i picked it up..

looks scruffy and rather crap atm i must admit but should look nice when its done

what you all think ?

if you got bored of a 150bhp XE then why would you even think about putting an inferior engine in BHP wise? would just be even more boring?

as styling goes, the black one looked really nice.

You should have sorted the scrapes on the wheels first before painting them

lol, I spent ages DIY refurbing my cav wheels and a long time prepping to make them a sweet job.

I would have personally not been happy if my wheels looked like that but I'm a perfectionist

If you're happy then

didnt spend that long spraying them becuase i doubt ill keep them for long.. they are just temporary untill i get some tidy ones but they look quite nice in real life and yes i didnt mask off the tyres because ill be changing them before they go on the car
