Anyone got a 5dr diesel corsa b?
What mods have you done to it?
I've got a 96 1.5td.
I want to make it look good by adding subtle mods, interior and exterior.

I've got a 5 door petrol. I lowered it 40mm and got some alloys. New backbox is on the way. Debadged all round and it's subtle.
Oh, debaged front grill is on the way too.

New mirrors will be around tomorrow too.

Thats really nice 
Cheers for the replies guys.
I just need to bring the paint work back up again (flame red) and then i'll start looking around for some alloys. I was thinking of going down the scrap yard to see if i could pick up some corsa c alloys?
And about the 5door, it is relevant, 3dr and 5dr look different.
Cheers guys, Ash.

The first thing i did with my diesel 5 door was take the 1.7 lump out and drop a 1.7td lump in it!

Mines a 1.5td. It's alright for a first car, doesn't look the best, yet.

i've got a 5dr td in atlantis blue, only real exterior mods are clear side repeaters, replaced GLS badges (tried removing them and took some paint off so put new ones on and it looks tidier), and alloys - i guess they're off a cav cos thats all I ever see them on - not sure though. a good polish and thats about it. wouldn't mind putting a 1.7td in it but don't have the time or money atm lol.
Interior - ummm blue leds in mfd, did do speedo but couldn't read it easily at night lol, replacement speakers in front doors, 6x9's and a 10" sub in the back - not specific to a 5dr or anything but there u go.
Engine - nothing but a K&N panel filter and derestricting the air box - makes a little noticeable difference and not expensive to do.

You can de-restrict the engine too which makes a great difference.
