nice .... needs centre caps for the wheels. I have always liked white corsa's when they are colourcoded. They look sweet.

am4nf Asked me to qrite up how I got the car and how it ended up, so here goes.


This was the night I got it, after a quick clean you can tell its just a standard boring 1.2 trip

Then as I was short on cash I decided to Colour code the mirrors and spray a sport spoiler and stick it on


I then de-badged the boot and also bought a backbox off S@M, didn't like the noise off the bacbox so swapped it for a louder one the night I got it


Then I fancied changing the front interior, so new front and rear doorcards, and front sport seats (original rear seats stayed)
Out with the old

In with the new



I was getting extremely pissed off with the bumpers not staying black so decided I would spray them satin black (while on the car )



Next mod was to get cav fanblades resprayed
Tyres off:

And them finished


I then went and took some photos with the new alloys on ( it was sitting like a tractor )


After seeing it sitting so high I hated it! So i bought Gmax springs and shocks off ebay for around £150
Then my brother (Gregor) off of here helped me put the springs and shocks on.




I then thought it was time for a change and bought Shaunmods front bumper, and got the arches and rear bumper done by a body shop





Then I started to fall in love with the car even more and bought german rear lights :


I always wanted Cesaros so decided to get a set and get them sprayed, they are silver with a glitter through them


Also fitted depo headlights and clear side repeaters.


Then disaster struck, the battery died and the brakes were sticking, and id just got the wheels sprayed, bought irmscher side skirts off of ShEp, bought a new cd player and a sub and amp, I then got an offer on my brothers corsa c sxi that I couldnt refuse, so said to am4nf and his sister decided to buy it(her car was wrote off weeks before)

So I sold the car onto his sister, kept the cesaros, and gave the irmscher skirts and original parts away with the sale, then about 3 weeks later Louise bought the cesaros off me and they are now fitted

Writing this and looking at the photos of my corsa B has made me miss it, but im also happy with the C, mabye one day il have another white B

Im tempted to try the cesaro's on mine but I like my speedlines too much

Probably end up doing them white though to match in with the car

Didnt get the mudflaps fitted as it was pouring and hail

Looked better with black bumpers and arches imo.Shouldve kept it like that with a post 97 front bumper.

White wheels set it off as the tyres matched the black plastics/bumpers.
