Hello there i'm Paige.. i'm new to the forum
passed my test end of november
got a red corsa b in flame red on a R reg tidy for the age rele...
got 71k on the clock, so pretty tidy motor..

So going to start a project log anyway as i have a few plans for it... And obvz if you guys have any tips to add on your more than welcome .....
brought a GSI spoiler for it which gona do when the weather picks up with it not bein able dry in the cold, lookin for some alloys but not decided which ones yet, probs some cav slabs or some softstars or cesaro's as they are nice wheels... Can't decide.. It deffinitley needs lowering thinking of 40mm for the time being, put a debadged grill on it, and thinking of doin the mouldings matt black, they are the plans so far lol..also repaintin the interior door handles red, as colour doesn't go well as they are, but they were free so put them on see what they would look like..

excuse some of the crap pics they were taken on my fone which the camera isnt that good, needs some decent pics tooken which will get done wen the weather clears up a bit

It was faded as you all probs no vauxhall red goes 'pink'
so this is how it was before a good polish up

around the indicator was all dirty














Then after the good polish.. It looked like a new one...
It looked nice and shiny and 'red'











Then these few are close ups of the debadged grill i put on it..
which i think looks loads better than the one with the chrome bit in








then i put in the blue interior door handles which i have decided i don't like and they don't go but ill put the pic on anyway







well thats the car how its lookin up to now, should be an update soon once i've decided which wheels to choose

Comments welcome and any tips you've got

However remove the monster sticker as it looks a little chavvy IMO. If you like it, keep it, obviously.
