well the time has come that i have owned the corsa for a whole year, in my opinion its come a fair way in the space of a year, so heres my little story.....

23|10|04-pretty much a standard state but not for long



29|12|04-New smooth boot,bad boy bonnet and m3 mirrors starting to look good imo




10|04|05 whey just got my new corsa gsi kit sadly its in flame red but i am going to fit it any way all together cost 275




13|03|05 nearlly all the kit is on, gonna look sweet when sprayed i think





28|08|05 she returns,now with metal flake and smooth bumpers




28|09|05 alloys,exhaust and new sump fitted all looking good now




Today: 23|10|05 gave her a bloody good polish,fitted my colour coded door handles and gsi badges






well hope you all enjoyed my little trip down memory lane and all opinions received,comments/critasism welcome lads

still to come is lowering, fit the rest of my interior do the boot build then thats it until i can afford a bigger engine

no i really dont like those mhw rear lights there so plain i like mine because they give a subtle car a bit more of an aggresive twist and i dont want it to be like every other gsi rep

i'm not into the way the back looks, probably because i don't really like smooth boots, i think the semi smoothed ones look better. Not a fan off the lights or spoiler either. Have you thought about tinting the back window, might look good with the car being black.

i agree with jake, its not a gsi, so why badge it as one. Dont like the rear lights personally and saxo spoiler is gash imo, apart from thats its not bad, dont really like the mirrors either, or the bonnet lol. sorry.
