Well as some of you might have read, I had all these plans for the Green Corsa and started another project thread about it a while ago now, but after buying the Corsa Turbo and the mk2 Astra Im picking up Monday Funds have started going elsewhere.

So the list of stuff I wanted to do has been shortened alot, but Im still going ahead with alot of it anyway, so might aswell show some pics of whats been happening.

First things first was a new front bumper, some may remember that one of my arch trims had been scuffed and had a whole through it, and the scuff went onto the bumper so I had always planned to replace both.
Arch trim went straight on, and soon after I took the front splitter off clean off whilst reversing over a rock in the ground.
So on went the new bumper, and here it is on show at South West Motor Show:


A few people liked it like that but I thought it looked hideous.
So next day after SWMS I had it repainted, and had the splitter fitted better as smoothing it in was out of the question due to the speed bumps.



Bad Camber FTL!! Looks alot worse in real life


Unfortunatly I didn't get the Irmscher skirts in the end, so its looking like I will be going for Steinmetz replicas soon as the bent skirt is starting to annoy me, you can see the bend in this pic.


And here is what it currently stands like:


Not alot different to how it was last time you saw it

But should have these 2 turn up on Monday




Will keep you posted as thats not all that should be turning up soon.

Well I thought it was going and I bought this as its replacement:



Thought I would want the extra power so swapped insurance over and drove it for 2 days, dont get me wrong it drove like a treat but as the previous owner didnt have the best of reputations and dsicovered this whilst driving the astra and almost getting rammed off the road twice by 2 different people lol
So I massively started to miss driving my corsa, so put the insurance back on it today and love it again

I did attempt to fit the carbon bonnet but to be honest it was a shite fit and looked near impossible to fit, was a shame but its already been sold on.
But the semi smooth boot is perfect so that will be going on asap.
And also should be going powerflow soon to have a exhaust sorted, dont want anything loud or fancy but just something with a subtle tone and fits better than the current exhaust

Green One wont be changing that much over the next few weeks but will be putting the semi smooth boot on it soon.

Focusing more on the Turbo at the moment, the BBS Wheels are going on today and will be refurbed soon just got to decide on what colour to go for
