from the original thread - the owner..........
my views on my own car is,
well it once was a impact/combat kitted corsa in arden blue (standard vauxhall colour) then i thought right its like looking in a mirror seeing the same old corsa with combat kit on or the same old arden blue corsa, so i thought right time for a change,went to a bodyshop called mad creations in thetford, (who is now called l&a styling in a different unit on a different industrial estate) they took my corsa in augut 2nd last year, and originally fitted and sprayed my psg2 wide kit, and added 6 working customised rage exhausts, but then 17's left to much of an arch gap and instead of lowering it more than i already have had it dun which is 40mm i thought i wud go to extreme lengths at the time and go for 19's not many choices of 19in rims with a decent offset at the time so i chose boss xts with a 45 offset, so they was fitted on and arches were modified (supposedly) then i wanted to be more different and wanted a front light conversion then a 2 days later wanted a rear light conversion ,so stupidly left the choices of light conversions up to my bodyshop, so they chose me brand new honda civic front headlights, and honda accord rear lexus lights with boot strip, so i thought blimey this is gonna be extreme, so whack goes my tailgate, coz of the strip light,
then front lights took weeks to come in, but when they was in, mad creations jst hacked a huge big hole in it, but i didn't think nout of it, and after all the business of handing over £4,500 over to them (i knw stupid) they went off and dun a runner and left the bodyshop full of customers cars and took customers money as well as mine and jst dun a runner, the police were after them the lot, it came bk that the bloke ant has 2 names,2 driving licenses,2 passports,2 living addresses, so i thought sh*t gotta get my car outta their quick coz he is now thetfords most wanted man to kick the sh*t out of and get money bk if he still has some, so ringin round a replacement bodyshop i came across ECLIPSE MOTORS in vulcan road Norwich,sy the owner of it,agreed kindly to get a low loader to immediatly one night come out and get it out of there, stupidly an appretance let us in and take the car without ant even being there,plus sy the owner of eclipse also took another 1 of his m8's cars out of there,
after trouble of all this mad creations stuff, its in the hands of the solicitors and lawyers,
but deciding what the hell to do with the corsa, had to take it to a bodyshop lukily sy at eclipse and his worker graham took the massive project onafter discussing how much to finish it off and it came to £2,500 they had been working NON-STOP all day and night to get ir ready for a event that i had to appear at coz of magazines attendin and not to let the event shop down which was IMPACT PERFORMANCE in thetford,
but the final outcome of the corsa was not to my taste at all,but thats not eclipse motors fault, but the workmanship in my mind is, but coz of the time stated which was bout 5 weeks and the state they got it in,they had dun as well as they can of done,
it jt shows that different is not always a good thing, and now totally my expenses on my corsa to be alot of cash, ive got nout to show for it
P.S SORRY IF NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE,MY GRAMMER AND PUNCTUATION IS CRAP
again the owner....
im going for something nice and simple, quite like the front shop drew done with corsa c headlights but all PHOTOSHOPS are welcome for ideas of front and rear lights, goin to try and get the shape back of the corsa, stil keep it nicely modded and different but keep the shape of the corsa, type k styling shud most definatly be doing it
