Oh yeah and thanks to EVERYONE for the comments, it is really nice to have people say such great things about my car! My favourite mod has to be the wheels, I nearly went for speedlines, but after getting the wheels refurbed and putting them on the car I was so glad I didnt.

cheers, they are sparco milano 2's in charcoal alcantara, very pricey new (cheapest i found was around £1200) but I managed to pick up mine second hand for £380 and they are immaculate condition. Sit up a little higher than the standard seats due to the sparco subframe adaptors but you get used to it and it gives you a better view of the road, much more comfortable too!

the outside of that corsa is more-a-less perfect mate!! the colour of it makes it one of my favourite corsas on here!! onyl thing id consider changing on the outside is morettes and a badboyd bonnet possibly!!
not kean on the inside as i dont really like buckets, i much prefer a re-trimmed standard interior!!
great work though mate, perfect choice of bumpers, skirts, etc!!

hmm i did consider morettes, but they are too expensive and I prefer the look of the smoked headlamps anyway! Badboy bonnet never entered my mind simply because I've never liked them (especially not on corsas!). They dont look natural on the car, and dont follow the curves of the rest of the car anyway.

respray cost me £1850 (cash), but in all honesty I dont think it was worth that much. People get lazy and it wasnt quite the standard I was expecting for the money it cost to do.

I agree with everyone else, looks ace, only thing i would change would be the doorcards and back seats, they let it down at the moment.

I have enough alcantara to do all the door cards, they will be done ready for PVS, just need some new front door cards without the holes for window winders. Undecided on back seats, might take them out and fit a rollcage, what does everyone else think?

whats the story behind the astra then mate? Id love an astra coupe cant afford one now though after spending all that money on the corsa!One thing I wish is that I had spent the money rebuilding an x16xe instead of the x14xe thats in there now.
