Have loved this car from day 1 when I signed up to CS!

All mods look really good on it, and its a black Corsa that seems to stay really nice and glossy :thumbs:

Is there an engine change planned at all in the future or will you sell it on eventually for something with more power?

Another thing the number plates that were on it when you got it, where they from Burnham garage in Slough? He had a private plate on it S11 LAY.

Sam was it Simon Lay? I would love it if it was, me and him used to race everywhere in our SXi's

If it was Simon Lays I drove your car, if I remember correctly it had a very stiff accelerator pedal.

First photo I have of the car...



Exhaust was rusty :(



Ordered a new Sebring 6x4 and a Vauxhall x12xe centre box...



Fitted...



Got some new alloys, 16" 100+ RVO's with Toyos...



You can see the irmscher front splitter, grille surround and sideskirts in that pic to :)

Ordered some lexus rear lights :|



Ordered a lowering kit... FK 60/40





Ordered some smoked clear front headlamps :) Arteb ones





Sorted out my rear drums:



Removed my rub strips:



Got a BFO cone... (stupid)



Realised how silly that was and got a piperx panel filter:



Played about with the ice...







*sprayed all my dash bits silver also as you can see above*



Had a run in witha badger :lol:

Decided I would smooth in the front, colour code and tidy the car up a bit...

Snapped this up off the bay:







Got my friends dad to do some work on the car:









Purchased some smoked side repeaters:



Got FK to give me 2 new rear shocks.... one had blown its seals:



Decided to get some 60mm rear springs whilst I was at it.

Car stood still for a while...



So i changed my ICE again to go with the harnesses and buckets...









Recarpetted the sub box:



*obviously fitted the seats and harnesses*

Got my bumpers and bits back :)





Got some Irmscher rear lights :)



Played about with a front splitter on the rear:



Got a bigger air intake pipe (off the 1.2 8v iirc) and cleaned the engine:



Changed all my interior plastics from silver back to the standard black :)

Gave it some TLC - new battery, ICV, AFM and other bits:



Got rid of the irmscher grille:



And got an FK one so it fit properly:



Erm thats about it... just got 2 Uniroyal Rainsports for the front tyres and some tax :thumbs:

Oh yeah also got some 2 litre astra gte ma jiggy calipers and then red dot grooved discs and pads :D

As she stands:
