Thought i'd whip a few pics up while the car was clean and i had some spare time. Had the car about a month now. Had been using the family runabout from passing my test last year up till now, so this is technically my first car.
I'm sure plently of you will know the car. Been at plently of shows and the previous owner was a member on here. (corsa freek)
Any feedback/ possible next mods apprechiated.

Nice for a first car  I think a new grille could sort the front end out a charm though, maybe something like the LMF slatted grille?
Overall the car looks pretty tidy glad your happy with it

Not much you need to do to that, works pretty well for a done up motor.
Only thing I can see is maybe paint your brake calipers, apart from that, just keep it nice and clean

looks well. like RCoughtrie said, change the bonnet for a bad boy one without a scoop, remove the v-grill and get some smoked head lights and you'll have a stunning car!

Keep the angels IMO. It's not a smooth euroey car, and the chrome in them picks out the highlights on the alloys.

the car is cool esp with that front bumper....
but the exhaust, grill and bonnet need to go...
How difficult is it to fit that front bumper?

Agreed those rims are fookin boss.
However Ive always thought that the multi thin spoke rims, the gills on the side of the bumper, and the V-grille go well together. If i changed one, id probably end up changing the lot, and im pretty happy with how it looks. So as far as other mods, i wanna make sum custom door pods, maybe smooth the dash, and since its on cheapcheapcheap farm insurance maybe carry on with the engine mods. It already got a velos torque tube and was dyno'd at 106bhp before the de-cat. Cams next, then remap??

No, no photoshop, cos it'd look worse 
If I have time later I might knock one up.
No funny misquotes please.

what i would do to that car is take the lights out for smoked depos, ditch the saxo spoiler and a badboy bonnet,
maybe dtm mirrors allthough the std ones look good

Not bad that! Especially for a 1st car - pmsl @ Family run about - I really cant see my parents driving a modded car so it makes me laugh
Interior looks smart. As mentioned, the scoop is a bit OTT, and it could do with a FK badgeless grille. Not too keen on the bluey fogs either. Oh and get some new 100% plain plates

...erm, read it again mate. Only got this car a month ago, the runabout was a different corsa (although my dad has actually driven it once, which was quiet a sight!). those red calipers are lookin nice on urs btw. This car used to have em, but loooked absolutely gash.
