So a few days ago I went and bought this Cutie.
Corsa B/ Barina for $800 and Three months rego.
Its a 1.4L Opel.
She runs like a charm and has about 157XXX kms on the clock.
She came with a carbon fibre wrapped roof and central locking,
and ugly gutter rashed hubcaps.
it is also missing the pastel tray.

With my Boyfriend's Sneaky MK3 Golf in the background, the sexy beast!

First thing me and my partner did was Drive to the wreckers and purchase
a set of hubcaps for $10 and part of a ashtray seeing as it was missing.

Before:

After:

So much better,
no gutter rash...

Also the Valve Caps were plastic and cracked so i bought some Stainless Steel ones from Supercheap for $8

after fixing the ashtray now I can put stuff in it lol.
Also it is much cleaner looking in the inside.

Decided also to do the outside plastics with black plastic reviver
Before:

After:

Kinda got abit dirty in the process lol

Also this is what the wrapped roof looks like (sorry for the dirtyness, its parked under a tree also its raining. )

[img]http://[/img]

and took out the old crappy stock speakers and put some JVC's in but kept the head deck that came with it until i have spare money for a Bluetooth one.

Cant wait to buy rims! and maybe chop the springs until i can afford coilovers

Give me some ideas on what to do next!

Nice colour, spoiler would look good

Is it hard to get aftermarket parts for it in Australia or are their looks like in the UK?

If you need parts shipped from the UK I have a good customer in Sydney that has a shipping container travel from the UK most months. I am sure that he will let me pop a few bits in there and forward the on to you the other end
