Hey guys I'm just about to buy a 1.2 personalised silver paintjob corsa. It has a bodykit on it and looks alright on the outside.. i want it to look as good on the inside though!!

I'm thinking bout putting in silver and black seats.. i'm gonna put some blue neons in the footwells and i think the speedo already has a blue LED in it.. i also want to paint some plastic interior on the dash etc. in silver... wot u guys think?

Thanks

yeah, paint the dash (parts of it) whatever colour you want, i'd strip the car and just put two bucket seats in if it was me.

got any plans for the engine? conversion

ah right.

if u want it to look nice then put some speedlines wheels on it, lower it, debadge and either a semi or full smoothed boot, will look nice.

as for interior i would just keep the interior in if u dont know what ur doing, put to buckets in and colour some of the dash to match the cars colour.

so if i were to just take everything from the car that guy has red and pop them out.. buy grey plastic primer.. white spirit.. silver paint.. and a laquer.. sand paper.. that should b it? surely it'l take a lot of sanding and layers of primer/paint??

and why not under car neons!? lol

take the bodykit of it and get some gsi bumpers n skirts, get some 15s or 16 inch wheels, lower 60mm all round and it'll look mint

if u post up some pics of the actual car ur getting it'll be easier to say.

Sounds like we need pics. I'm sure some of those mods aren't going to go down too well so be prepared to make a few changes based on peoples' feedback.

Pics will be easier than describing all the bits. You've said it has a kit but not which one, and Fox wheels but not which style or size. Just easier to see it.
