Ill possibly be selling the 1.8 out of mine next year some time....on 47k now, so would probly be on or around the 55k mark.

1.8 yours, tell them it wont break :o

Oops, forgot about this thread :o :lol:

Cheers guys, it'd probably be cheaper to buy a facelift car than to do a DIY facelift then. Just need to wait for the right one to come along.

I casually mentioned the possibility of getting a 1.8 SRi or 1.8'ing mine and got nothing but winging, moaning and grief from the folks. They are convinced that if I did it it would go wrong all the time and need fixing constantly, because their mk1 Mini's they had 30 years ago that were standard used to break a lot. Yeah, totally comparable situations :rolleyes:

too much for me to warrant bothering :lol:

Know your bargins! My Corsa C is pre facelift and I've bought all facelift parts, according to my spreadsheet:

Front bumper - £30 from ebay, it was also brand new in primer and in a box :lol:

Back bumper - £20 from ebay

Facelift lights £80 from Stavs

Sri mirrors were 150 from ebay

.
Irmscher roof spoiler - 85 from ebay

Irmscher grill - 128.95 from LMF

Then I had to get them painted :look:

Yeh bits aren't cheap.

Wheels I found a pretty good set for £30 with knakered tyres, sold them for £350 with good tyres.

Lights I already had but got a 2nd set to smoke and they cost me around £150 iirc

Bumpers go quite cheap but will need to be fixed up (ie sprayed etc) and spraying will cost around £150 - £180, so you're probably talking approx £220.

Then you of course need an Irmy grille which is £120 ish and SRi lower grilles which are £35 ish and god knows how much fog lights are lol.

Be cheaper putting a 1.8 in yours

about £400 for perfect wheels, about £150 at least for projector lights (unless you got tot scrappies)

How much would you be looking at spending to buy Corsa C facelift bumpers, headlights and SRi wheels, assuming everything is painted the right colour?

Probably more than if you bought a facelift to begin with, but thought I'd ask anyway :)

Cheers :thumbs:
