Hey guys, ive been on the site for a few months but never introduced myself.

Im joe, 19years young from chester. Ive had 3 previous Vauxhalls, First was a Star silver Corsa B SXI, Tastefully modified, next was a mk3 astra van, after that was my Mk3 astra GSI rep with nova gte engine.

Ive bought myself a Polar sea Blue 1.6 sport. 'R' reg, 95,000 miles, usual spec - elec windows, elec mirrors, sunroof. £750.
Its in Reletively good condition for the age, and a perfect base for a project.

Heres a few pice of the car.














So thats what ive got to work with, not a hugely exciting colour but i chose it because i havent seen many modified corsa's in this colour.

So far ive added
-Mongoose twin pipes (not sure on these, my swap for a magnex 2.5" rolled tip)
-Racetube strait through pipe CAT-back.
-Gmax -60mm springs

Will get pics up soon as possible

Would like your opinions on what to do to it, as ive found its very hard to pick things that will suit with this colour.

Cheers guys, comments

No not BECAUSE i have standard wheels, but before it was lowered with the black wheels and the exhaust it just looked like a chav-mobile tbh.

Cheers mark.
Pics have given me some ideas.
How do those lexmauls intakes work?
because the induction pipe looks like it goes where it does on a standard inlet, instead of strait into it like a dbilas one?

aftermarket intakes work the same,you have to take all your standard one off and it bolts into place.bit of a job to do but worth it..

I know how aftermarket ones work, but what im saying is that on the Dbilas one the air intake pipe goes strait into the side of the top bit, making less distance for the air to travel, but from the pictures of the Lexmaul ones the intake pipe goes down underneth the top section following the same route as the standard inlet.
Im abit confused, sorry if im being abit retarded.

Nice base for your project there mate, looking forward to seeing how it comes along, not many Polar Sea Blues get modded.
