Sorry this might sound a bit stupid but im only turning 17 next week so dont have much car knowledge. What is the difference between a Corsa C and Corsa B and how do I know which one is which.- is it from a certain date or something.

Plus im gonna get an L-Reg Corsa and try and vamp it up using a combat kit with euro-style bumber at back. Anyone know a cheap place to get it fitted and resprayed. Cheapest and best quote so far is £650.

PLUS for future what should I get changed in the interior first. Sound system or seats and steering wheel??

CHeers, all help is much appreicated guys and gals

Corsa a is nova shape, corsa b is old style shape, and corsa c is new style corsa.

You cant miss the difference in them all. As for first thing to do, DEFINATELY sound system mate. Decent cd player, 6x9's, sub or two and amps. THEN concentrate on everything else.

Wouldnt recommend getting bodykit str8 away, drive ure car with just alloys sound system and exhaust to get used to it, dont wanna pay nigh on 1k for the kit sorting, just to bump it do ya....

U will still look sweet with decent alloys and decent exhaust and sum pumpin tunes.....So sort that, THEN the kit and bigger wheels.

P.S - Stick to 15's mate without a kit and 17's with the kit on.

To be honest i want the body kit asap and the combat kit is gd 4 price - well i think so neway and the other ones r grand or over.
and cheers 4 the advice, sound system it is

I have set aside a grand for car, 1100 for kitting it out and 500 for sound at moment. That is all my cash at present moment. And im not gonna crash my car at all, if i do then sh*t happens dont it.

yeah but an inexperienced driver will have more chance of a bang or kerbing etc so maybe it would be better to keep it standard for a while unless you are loaded anyway!
