This is my little MACHINEEEE!!!
A White 1997 1.2 Corsa b Merit
Bought it for £700 with 4months tax and 9 months MOT
I then put a full sound system in, Alpine 13cm SXE front speakers, Alpine SXE 6x9's, Alpine 600w Monoblock amp, Alpine Type-S Sub, Sony X-Plod Headunit
Then got bored of steelies and swapped an Xbox 360, for some Colour Coded Stelauto SS Alloys:
Then I got fed up of having a 4x4 corsa so bought some 60mm springs and struts, only fitted the back atm:
I have just sent my bumpers and arches into the body shop to be colour coded white, and going to do the mirrors and handles myself.
I have also just bought a Sport Spoiler in white already, so ill put that on when it arrives.
And I have also just bought a Remus 3.5" Backbox, until I can afford a Full System, or if it sounds nice ill just keep it 
My plans for the future are:
Interior:
Sport interior ???
MOMO steering wheel ???
[Not made my mind up on interior yet]
Exterior:
Lowered 60mm all round on springs and struts DONE, maybe 90mm+ on back at a later date
German Plates
Cav Slabs or Tigras DONE
Black Angel Eyes
Smoke Rear Lights
Sport Spoiler DONE
Full Colour Code DONE'ISH
Rear Window Tints (professionally)
Engine Etc:
Induction kit
Full Stainless Exhaust System/Back Box DONE
Thats it atm

Me and my mate fabricated the hangers for my backbox today and it fits perfectly, butttttttt, I found my middle pipe was corroded, so going to have to buy a new one, might just buy a straight through though tbf, don't know yet.
I've also lowered the front now too, will put pics up when I can get a wifi connection on my phone, as otherwise photobuckets too slow
Also need to t-cut my car, hopefully do that tomorrow, then I can put my front arches and bumper on, as they are different shades.
Also decided I'm going for a badboy bonnet with angel eyes :-) got a photoshop of it and it looks mint!! haha

well I have now fitted the front bumper and front arches, i had to jack it up in the end to fit them so it looks quite high on the pic but it is lower normally haha, i'm very pleased with them tbf just need to sort a middle pipe out and then il do the rear arches and bumper. heres a pic of the front
I also took a pic of the exhaust not fitted but just on the hangers, so it will be tilted abit more and you wont be able to see the box as much when the bumpers on too :
And the corroded middle pipe:
As i said before i got a photoshop done of how i would want the front when ive got a spare £200, lol, i got it done on shaunmods (hope you dont mind) as i didnt havemy bumpers on at the time, but i cant wait to do it, i think it loks well good:
I also think im going to get a smooth boot done as i debadged the rear and its left like and etched mark where the letters were, hopefully it will fade out but i dont think it will, as it wont even t-cut out, but smooth boot and resprayed boot would look good i
think
I aslo havent got my espace splitter on yet, as it hasnt arrived yet haha, but hopefully that should be here soon and then ill fit it as soon as its here

prefer the standard lights myself personally, plus those smoked ones will fail a mot because the reflectors aren't red iirc

Cheers mate, hopefully it'll be nice once finished :-)
And tbh I prefer these to my old lights, but I suppose it's personal preferance lol, and I know I'm going to add the red bit myself, as I don't know if it magically appears lol

yeah man, i noticed too, small thing but makes it look well better.
I'm going to get the boot de-wipered and de-locked. but i dont know how to fit the bolts on the spoiler at i cant get to them to put nuts on the bolts, but if i tigerseal the bolts on then i mayaswell wait till my boots been resprayed before i seal it on. got the backing plate for the spoiler, but just unsure on them bolts.
