So to start by saying hi, my name is Jordan.
I got my corsa in November as my first car ( haven't got pics of them) and had no plans as was going to get a new car when my insurance renewal comes up but after finding corsa sport I soon changed my mind.

Now I have many ideas for what I want to do with the car it's time to start I guess, well with the little things as I don't really want insurance to steal more money from me.

So the first line of attack it's to take the plastic strips off the door which is done now but haven't got photos and was annoying and didn't come out well because someone reprinted it or something and messed up a door.

Next things I want to do:

Par smoothed boot
Get some searches and chip sorted
Get my gsi bumper fixed and fitted
Need some arches for colour coding
And play with the interior to see what we can come up with

So now so pic














Some pics of taking the strips off.







So got them off, got rid of the glue to find some nastey marks so popped down to the local body shop for them to caramel wheel the rest off (have got any pic of it finished yet)


Then got a GSI front bumper off ebay that needs a bit of work. I have loved this bumper since I first saw it so nice also got a back bumper as well because the seller was feeling ever so nice












Thanks for looking

J

no probs a brake upgrade and also a suspension kit would be an idea along with the alloys tbh if ya sort the handling on it it will be a good car for twisty country roads until you want to get more power out of it
