I have a post of my Project on here but alot on images are not showing up so thought I'd restart again.

Kicked off by buying this in November 2007, this Box standard Vauxhall Corsa B 1.0l 12 volts .
I really wanted something a little bigger but will do to pass my test etc









Decent Milage for age well I thought so



Odd Mirrors so decided to bu two new mirrors and keep the black and silver trim.

ODD




We originally thought the passenger side mirror was broke but with a little push was fine. But still bought two ones.
NEW!



Next purchase was a new stereo, it had that horrible Delco Electronics CDR500 which last owner had decoded and then lost that code. I couldnt really be assed sourcing the code so decided to buy a new one.






Not a good picture but it is a decent stereo for the money !

After this, Tax insurance and MOT came all in one lump and a part-time job takes a while for it all to be covered haha

Once sorted, debadged grille from the bay of e for £20 Followed by a nice Irmscher grille badge from LMF !

New plate number was better than having VANTAGE FOR VAUXHALL on the bottom

Mixed opinions about this from my mates with other Corsas but i still went and bought the Halos im ratehr happy with them

All togther it looked like this





Also, my dad and me was sat around in conservatory with nothing to do so we decided to nip down to Halfrauds to get sandpaper and primer to get on with spraying the interior. Thanks to the guys who created the Tutorial on here was much help

I sanded it all and my dad sprayed. Around £30 later it ended up like this








Oh and fitted Blue bulbs in dash. Crazy LEDS is mint site for those who are looking to change their bulbs







Today, serviced it with NGK sparks , New Pipercross Induction kit the one down from the XL , Castrol oil , oil filter and Bosch wiper blades as well as some Ripspeed mats all from Halfords ( I want a Trade Card ) . Glad i did sounds alot quieter and more responsive.

Opinions and ideas for next mods would be ideal because im out of them atm .

NICK

Dont buy anything from the Coffee Shop if they have one haha It will be truly crap what you buy Failed exam truly gutted The road markings stated no right turn so i decided to go straight on. Apparently you have to turn right slightly to go ahead even though looked pretty striaght to me and thats what he failed me on

I do need some alloys and i got my numberplates from www.no1showplates.co.uk £23.94 for the pair

Thinking of debadging the whole rear today to cheer me up whilst i rebook my test

Nice one. Was going to say you should have got a dark grey CD player, but now you've sprayed the interior, it looks pretty good

Stick with the 12v, perfect first car imho. I'm 20 and still have one being a student

And the reflector will work fine in those eBay lights you posted. They are simply standard lights with the reverse and indicator tinted. The reflector is above the black

Passed my test yay 13 minors so close but all good

Alloys sprayed up in Audi Silver and laquered just some slight runs but apart from that all good. Just need to sort calipers and drums to be painted but the drums are kinda in a condition which would take ages to get to a degree where they could be painted so ill have to replace them.

On the upside visited my mate and got my punto wiper and fitted that And got some pics while out just need to upload them .

Next thing im considering is rooming the door strips , A YES or a NO iyo

With regards to Alloys -

So this how they came :









So with my equipment at hand began sanding and filling alloys -







oh and a little music along the way


Led to







Then after masking the tyres up gave them a spray and the tyre paint -
