Alright Everyone !

Just bought my first car couple of weeks back

Picked It Up For £995, which was a good price due to the condition its in tbh, only problem is im still 16, so cant go out in it yet, itching to go out in it but ha!

But turn 17 on the 24th September, lessons booked etc..so see how it goes, fingers crossed

Anyway, cant seem to find any pictures from when I first got the car, but here is a few pictures from the weekend, just after I gave it a Good Wash, Dry, T-Cut, Polish & Wax, also started trying to retore the bumper, used AutoGlym Bumper Care, seems to be helping.

Anyway heres the pictures from the weekend and how it looks to at present














Mod's To Date (Not Alot, But Started At Least )

- De-Badge Back

- Mudflaps (Front & Rear)


Future Plans:

- Rims

- Lower

- Exhaust

- General Tidy Up Under Hood


Most important thing is to do well in my Lessons & Theory, and then hopefully pass my Test


Please Comment, on how its going, and help (which would be very much appreciated)

Cheers, Callum

They look too big, are they universal ones?

Get some designed for a corsa, they look much better
