Hi everyone, long time no speak.
I have brought a new car, and am trying to flog my old one to a better home. 
But yeah, I have brought a 2001 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 16v SXi in Black II. Only done 46k on the clock, and has had a few mods. I picked it up for £1300 with it needing a new EGR valve, wiper arm linkage, and MAF sensor, just need to fit MAF sensor now. Enough talk, here's pics, and what you think???

Looks alright that and good mileage for an eight year old car, get it lowered though

Defantly, it's in good need of a serious lowering.

Not bad mate.
Got the AFM to add to the list though 
I thought SXi's sat lower than that standard anyway

I think so too Dave, but the tires are a lower profile, and when the last owner brought it, he said it was sitting on 19's and that the front springs had snapped, so he fitted new springs, so might of gotten the wrong springs. But it does have FSH, and is in good condition, so i'm happy.

You'll soon regret that after the sun has been beating down on it for a day

I think I did yesterday.  It's parked outside my house in the sun, and had to go out in it yesterday, but felt the same as the old flame red SRi of mine, and my old Smoke Grey 1.2 8valver.

Ahh, maybe he got standard ones then, not realising 
Needs the standard smoked rear lights too tbh

Yep, luckily you can buy them cheap, or I just paint these ones at college, but tbh I want the real article.

TheNobleOne had a go at photoshopping in for me. So this is what he came up with.
He's lowered it, and tinted parts.

Cheers Alex, get paid in a couple of weeks, and should hopefully be going to find a set of SXi/SRi rears, and maybe some 35mm GMAX springs too. Should get the new MAF tomorrow or Thursday, so all the engine problems will be fixed then. Just need to re-do sub wiring, as it keeps blowing the fuse on the live wire. :S So gonna swap it with the glass 200a fuse wiring from the old car. But yeah, just need to clean the bodywork, as a few scratches on it. But overall i'm really happy with it.
