{copied from allcorsa.co.uk}

hi this isnt my first corsa but it is my first project.

its a 2000 xreg altlantis blue 3dr 1.0ltr club

my first modification is to throw away the old steel rims and add some corsa c 15" sxi alloys with 185/55 tyres although now its got the ground clearance of a monster truck and rolls like f**k.

second im in the process of (as i write this) spraying away the blotchy grey/black trim, in the end they will be atlantis blue

jobs to do:
colour coding half way there
blue interior light bulb done
xenon headlight bulbs done
debadge done
punto rear wiper done
paint alloys
beesting aerial done
irmy debadged grill ordered
crystal??? side repeaters done
upgrade brakes to cavalier 256mm disks and calipers with braided hoses
upgrade suspension and lower by 50mm maybe more
drop a 1.6ltr 8v into it
angel eye head lights need to collect
spoiler need to collect
interior (still undecided wat to do there) EDIT: calibra black leather




before i sprayed bump strips and handles will upload after pics tommorow when i get chance to take them
just sprayed the wiper arms blue
and gave her a good wash and wax
just waiting now for my bits a pieces to arrive, cant wait!!



parts have arrived finally:rock:

fitted my blue side reps, not as dark as i thought they were but still look good

also fitted my superbright xenon bulb kit will see what it looks like tonite when its dark
irmscher badge arrived will fit it after iv t-cutted etc:thumbs_up:

also got a better picture of my sprayed wipers


hi just a small update debadged sides, use hot water and plastic ice scraper to release the badge, then scraped off the sticky pad with hot water washing up liquid and ice scaper, then used petrol soaked rag to remove adhesive, then t-cut to blend in. easy!!



:thumbs_up:
im having a very productive day, just debagded the boot, using the same method as above. and fitted a punto rear wiper. im a very happy man lol:thumbs_up:





And now on with colour coding the bootlock surround

:thumbs_up:hi just a couple daytime shots of the boot lock surround



indication of colour match


hi all just been messing around and came up with this using the red eye reduction on my photoview on laptop on the standard red tail lights, what do you think?:thumbs_up:



hi all was rooting around today and found my slr camera so thought being a nice sunny day id take it into the back and beyond and snap away, this is the result









thoughts and opinions always welcome:thumbs_up:

[quote=DaniiLea;454326]Oooo Pics Please


here they are

just a quick pic after a wash

beesting aerial



interior light bulb

seat covers sorry for the poor pic

:thumbs_up:

pictures of angels fitted






got really bored today, so was surfing the forum wondering what can i do?
so i did this.....


and really really like it:thumbs_up:
will also be doing a tutorial on it






all in all a great product and at £5 it doesnt break the bank

next i went to work with my t-cut colour fast
restores, colours and shines in one

again a great product filled all the little white stone chips on my bonnet and now they are hardly noticeable also works on larger scratches but not as well
also leaves a fantastic shine

but i didnt stop there

i also bought a bottle of auto glym ultra deep shine polish
one word

WOW never seen such a shiny finish outside of a car showroom
and doesnt take alot of effort either

also bought an atlantis blue touch up kit (the colour match is perfect, wish i could say the same for the spray paint)

a handy little socket set that was on offer so i thought why not lol

a pack of assorted wet and dry paper

and finally a pack of 3 micro fibre cloths for polishing etc

later on in the day i decided to fit my new exterior door handles

easy to do but very time consuming





will upload pics of finished product when its light and have time:thumbs_up:

comments and critisism always welcome

hey up ash thought id come across you on here at some point, cars a write off at the moment bud had an accident at the beggining of december, informed insurance etc they sent me to a garage to be estimated for repairs and they came back to me saying unecconomical to repair so just waiting for a valueation then decided whether ill let them write it off and then buyit back at a fraction of the cost, accept a settlement figure and fix it or let them write it off and get a sport, and at the moment the sport is sounding the better option lol, the spoiler ive just sold thought if i mayb getting rid of this car and getting a sport theres no point in keeping it plus im abit short on cash so its an extra bonus to the wallet accident pics up shortly for you all to have a laugh at
