alrite. My Martyn, been on here a we wile now but never got round too doin one of theses, had a few corsa's now, and owned each one twice lol.

This was my first, a 1.4 sport wich had a 147,000 miles on it.


This was my second, a 1.2 merit which i still have.


This was my third, a C20LET.

As you can see the turbo was a bit smokey there.

Will try and get some more pics of the grey one tomorrow. cheers.

Ok story so far, bought it last year bog standard as a run about, but ended up keeping it as it is mint underneath. Mods too start with was,

lowered 40mm all round on springs,
k/n airfilter,
cd headunit,
seat covers, (just too hide the nasty seats),
magnex back box,
fitted some 14" astra alloys.

The car then stayed like that for a few months untill i had a slight collision with a 106, resulting in it needing a new wing, door, and wing mirror. which was very lucky considering the damage too the 106.



more pic of the corsa tomorrow hopefully.
