INDUCTION KIT FITTED


DOOR BADGES


the car look ten times better imo. the exhaust is not to loud on idle but gives it some when you press the go-go pedal lol. All in all i paid £35 for all these items bargains i know.

:)
Hope you all like ( i know i need some corsa-sport stickers they are next)

since my last post i have had not much time to do anything apart from working:(. But a small update got myself a new set of aero flat wipers

hi all not update this for a couple of weeks but i have had new alloys put onto the car i paid only £40 for the set with road legal tyres.when i got them i sprayed them myself the colour is ford graphite grey. they look ten times better and i have not seen many corsa's with these wheels on. so i will stop going on and show you all some pics ?





for a bit of a quiz can anybody name what alloys they are ?

little update new smoked indicators come through today so decided this afternoon to change them over

pics:



old ones at the top (orange coming through diy ones from last owner)
new ones on the bottom look so much better.



New indicators on the car:)

Somebody nicked my front Badge:(


Engine bay needs a bit of a tidy


Interior in quite good condition

I know the bodywork is not that bad just like my cars to be perfect if poss. iam going to get started this week on cleaning and tidying up engine bay plus buying replacement badge and new number plates. Iam watin for new smoked side indicators to come through the post once they arrive i will get them fitted and pics put up.

the interior is quite good but its the bodywork which is the main problem there is a few dents and scratches around the car plus some rust coming through (will put up pics in the next couple of days)

some of the plans for the car is:

change the alloys
lower the car
new exhaust
tidy up the paintwork

tidy up the interior

there is many more things i want to do as time goes on just need the funds.

If it's anything like Paul W's it'll be a winner :thumbs:

Looks a clean motor what's the inside like? :)

Do you have any rough plans of what you want to do to it?

Hi there joined the corsasport club a few weeks after buying the corsa about a month ago my plan with the car is to improve it (when funds allow) and to get it back into a good state as the last owners did not treat it to well.

here is pics of the car just after bieng bought




the car is a 1.2 8v bought as a runaround but after about a week i plan on keeping it for a while so i thought i would get my arse into gear and start to improve the car.

1st thing i did was give the car a service when i took out the old oil from the car it was pure black(god knows when it was last serviced). After this was done the car runs a lot better

next is to get rid of the 3 spoke alloys i will all keep you updated on the progress of the car

cheers:)
