Right i got my corsa at the begining of may and only cost me £250 of a mate. When i got it the paint work wasnt at the best, but abit of polishing brought it up a treat.
Thought id add its done 93K miles and the engine runs sweet.

When i got it, i didnt really have any ideas of what to do. So i started by removing the "spin" stickers from the side. And had a wheel trim missing so bought a new set form the car boot for £10. lol
Also the arches were grey and faded, but used some flash dash from halfords and it looks sweet.

How it was with stickers on side and old trims.



Then attacked the stickers with a hairdryer . and changed the wheel trims.



Then bought some Vauxhall mud flaps of eBay and fitted them straight away. Only took about 5mins.



Thats what ive done so far.

Things to be done in the next few days
Clear side repeaters. Done
Fully de-badge rear.Done
Neon bulbs for interior light and rear number plate light.Done

Not sure about this.
Removing side strips. Im in two minds whether to do it.

Future Plans
Post 97 bumber and slatted grill
Paint all plastics BlackDone
Also maybe some Astra 15" wheels or similar. Done
New back box.
Smooth bumpers.
Marea wiper or Punto wiper. Done


Got my clear side reps today. I think they look loads better then orange.



Just fitted my lock surround. What you think?



Still need to get more paint to finish my plastics, but got my all the rear parts done.

Rear bumper primed



Painted black first coat (not finished)



Finally got a picture of the front bumper on the car after being sprayed.



Got my front shocks and springs this morning and got them fitted. 40mm all round



Went and got my wheels yesterday



Got my punto wiper today



Deciding against spraying my wheels black and done them white.
also got my spoiler re-sprayed and it matches my car



Also one of how it stand now.
