Hey guys im pretty new to this site only been on for about a year as i joined to buy parts and stuff for my 1998 Corsa Breeze. But i thought id do a thread on it as i am getting rid and buying a redtop. I was going to redtop mine but as an asian slammed on in front of me on purpose he bent all my slam panels and chassis so i scrapped the idea and just thought to buy one instead. 
This is how she started off.
Then next i bought a second hand boot off ebay with a spoiler on and fully smoothed and de-wipered it. I also added a solenoid that wired to my rear wiper that now opens the boot.
I then bought a Square reg for the back(Temporary) and invested in some black lexus lights as the originals were damaged.
Was sick of the steelys and rubbish wheel trims so i bought some 15" alloys in gloss black. Unsure of the make but if someone could tell me that would be great! (Also bought some blacked out indicators because the orange ones and horrible)
After buying the alloys i decided i wanted to smarten up the body eg: paint. The bonnet was in quite bad condition with paint reaction and a really deep scratch so i completely repaired it and sprayed it black!
I had to drive it like the last picture for the weekend as i ran out of time on the friday so heres a few pics befoe i high build primered it on the monday.
And here's the finished product 
I then purchased a set of angel eye headlights. I was going to go with depo's but i decided against it.
THEN!! A week after i sprayed my bonnet i went straight into the back of a suzuki baleno! The stupid asian slammed on for no reason and claimed every possible claim he could. Even said there was more people in the ar than there was in his car and stuff. So i was back to square one with the front end again. So heres what it went from to now what it looks like. Theres also a picture of the 'Damage' i apparently did to his car which i didnt because he smashed it up to make it look worse haha shame i got pictures 
And then when i went home for the weekend my alternator fryed. So i ended up spending saturday morning fitting a new alternator!
Then whilst i flatted the high build on the bonnet ready for paint my friend decided he wanted to buff the full car! And it turned out mint! Also removed the side door trims as i thought it looked better.
As you can see in the picture above i scotched my roof down as i was going to spry it black along with the bonnet but by the time id sprayed the bonnet i saw a really big dint on the roof so left it for another day(This still hasnt been done!)
After this i decided i needed to tidy up the rear bumper and i came to a hard decision of wether to do my arches and the tops of the bumpers gloss black or do them all colour coded. i decided to do them colour coded for some reason and here's how it turned out
This is what it looked like once it had been repaired and high builded. YES i drove round with it looking like that :L.
And here's how it turned out
My next idea was to smooth my front bumper where the licence recess is and the trim round the top (Partly why i chose colour coded bumpers and arches). In the end i found one on ebay for £30 and it has an irmscher splitter on
I then prepped it for high build as it was already smoothed and primered
Then i high build primered it.
Sadly i had to then strip it all back EVEN the filler because it had cracked and the person who had done it before must have used standard filler and not plastic :/, Its now sat in my bedroom like picture one again. i will probably spray it when i get my redtop on the 20th of October .
Sadly my alloys were then violated by an R32 whilst driving across a crossroad and he pulled out infront of me and teared it apart
I am now currently respraying them and ive only got up to high build atm and will be flatting and spraying them tommorow
Oh i also had ago at tinting my own back windows they turned out mint with no bubbles atall!!
5th October.
Well today i flatted the wheels and wet on wet primered them but because i didnt charge my phone it died on me and i only got pictures of wet on wet and not the colour
Also my n/s wheel bearing was whiring like mad at me so i got a mate next door to fix me up with a new one

Wheels are Mille Miglia Spiders.
Don't love the plate, may as well have a standard boot if you're going to have it there.
Don't forget if you move it to the bumper you'll need to move the number plate light as well.

The wheels would look great on low profile tyres with the car dropped
