Went to the auction, im quite pleased with the purchase....

Vauxhall Corsa Sport
V Reg
X16XE
Arden Blue
Imscher Front?
Imscher Wheels
Irmscher Gear knob
Side Skirts
Keimi Grille

55,000 miles
Passed MOT first time (yesterday)

Pics














There's a few things that need doing to it, but they'll be done in time...after the essentials are fixed, i'll think about colour coding, and other subtle modifications.

Paid £1,325 for it. Good price i thought.

Hope you like

Oh and Jake and others who saw the thread in East Anglia Region

Why does your car not have colour coded mirrors, and the badges on the boot are not correctly located?

Could have been debadged at some point although by the look of the offside rear arch the back bumper has been off at some point which would indicate its had bootlid as well if the badges have been replaced. Needs the front tidying as well, you can do all of that while its off for painting.

Needs these - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=304609

Yes Ian, well spotted, the bumper is broken on both sides, thats the 1st thing that needs sorting, as you say that can be done with it gets painted.

I was thinking of Softstars today, they'd really suite, perhaps when i've saved some money up again, i'll get a set. But the wheels on there now are OK.
