x10xe that is, unfortunately.
Well as the story goes I have a one litre for my first car and this is what Ive done to it so far.
Before,
Now...
Since I have had it I have done the following
Lowered 40mm,
Pioneer headunit
Fusion door speakers and tweeters
Corsa sport seats, carpet, plastics and door cards.
Painted the pillar plastics black.
Corsa sport alloys,
1600 Corsa sport brakes
Badgeless grill
debadged boot
Magnex exhaust tip welded to standard backbox
Drilled air box.
Smoked rear lights
Tigra scuttle panel
Punto rear wiper.
To do....
New drivers side door, metal is creased on mine so water comes in the seal.
Lower more, minimum of 60mm.
Depos
probably some corsa c rims.
Sport/GSI spoiler.
Aero/flatblade wipers.
Plain plates.

Nice.. Clean and tidy... You don't have to buy a new door cause it's leaking.. If you aren't bothered about the metal creased then open your door and push back... Mine was broken into both doors when previous owner had it, it was leaking when I got it but I managed to stop it! Just the bit where paint come off when metal creased..

The metal has snapped on mine and just shutting the door bends it back out.

Bit too fast but I wasn't driving stupid, just turned round a corner and the car understeered and that was that, fairly low speed bump really.
Just found out I had a bald tyre which didn't help (changed straight away).
Shes all grand now with the standard grill and missing the splitter and a cracked number plate.
Might be sortin some tigra rims to go on, and its going in for a full stainless catback system with a 3.5 inch rolled tip on monday, getting it done cheap as a favour .

Slight update,
Not sure on the black alloys and it looks proper high there so needs to go lower really and still haven't had a splitter since my crash
But have got a full stainless system without a centre section now (too loud )
Tigra alloys that have been painted black, and plain slighty smaller plates.
and a few other bits.
Sorry for the crap pictures.
Dont know whether to put standard rears on or not.

Now got standard lights on the rear, and 195/45/15s instead of the 55s on before.
Got bucket seats coming then a new engine hopefully.
Also bought a new stereo, and Im on the look out for springs.
