Hi People,

I have recently became a premium member for the best corsa forum on the planet (corsasport)

lol. I thought i would upload some before and after pics of my gawjus pride and joy. i dont quite know what it has on it as i wasnt told but you will guess from the pics its had a fair bit done to it.

My car is an original GSi and not a replica, im trying to make it look as nice as possible without major changes as i wanna keep it genuine as the corsa gsi is now starting to become very rare.

it has standard gsi spec interior (MINT!) except a little tear on the drivers seat, it has a 1.6 16v gsi engine (C16XE) with a Manzel 4 Branch Inlet Manifold, 60mm Gmax Front, 30mm Gmax Rear, replaced the orange side repeaters with smoked ones

. also made a few changes to the engine as you can see, this is still undergoing but is impossible at this point in time as i actually dont have the car to carry on with it for a little while.

My car is currently in the spray shop as im having a full respray in GM flame red and having the roof, scuttle panel and bonnet done, when i bought the car it had a HUGE!! dent on the passengers side rear quarter which has now been takin out as you will see in the pics.

Feel free to comment as thats the reason for this post coz i would like to see what people think. I will keep you updated.

Thanks

More pics as promised

as you will come across the pictures you will see that it doesn't look sprayed professionally, this is coz its still undergoing another paint plus blowing

the paint you see on the roof and bonnet is very simular to graphite grey but has a flip to it when it hits the sun light.

also the flame red hasnt actually been resprayed in these pics yet, but im told the car has now been rubbed down and is now in primer. Should be going to check the old girl out either 2moro or friday so i will have some new pics to upload for all you crazy motorheads

Firstly, no its not a woman pulling up her skirt lmao, and the roof is graphite grey with a hint of gold (the roof and bonnet still aint finished) and the dent is huge and is not covered with heaps of filler coz the person who done it for me got 90% of the dent back out. and the only reason for the MUST SEE part i coz its on going, still aint finished yet. thanks for the comments tho peeps
