I bought this car a few months ago. Since then i've decided that i'd prefer it looking more like a standard Gsi rather than having the Lexus lights and DTM mirrors.

I also bought a new dash and carpet for the car as i didn't like the look of the grey.

I also decided that the back box was a bit CRAP! So got myself a Scorpion back box. Don't know what these are like for the corsa but i'm sure i'll find out.

Along the way the colour of the car started to annoy me. So i wanted to change the colour. Chose on a Evolution 7 colour. It's called " french blue" So i stripped the car down completely for a full respray. I never managed to take picsof it when totally stripped but here is some at most present

I'll post more pics up of the car later. As you can see the quads are black just now, however i'm debating whether to change them to blue or keep them black?
The doors have just been painted. Attempted to take a pic of them in the booth but as you've probavly already noticed, NOT A GOOD IDEA!

I'll keep this posted updated as much as i can as i know the progress of some peoples cars interest others.
Any comments are welcome hoever if there negativeplease keep the language polite

Cheers so far. i've got a heap of pics to put up but i'm too hungover. I want to keep them black as i thought it would be too blue at the front.

I would have left it as it was, but changed the mirrors and rear lights.
It was a minter.

It wasn't a minter. There were bits of rust beginning to show on various parts of the car. The doors had little dents. i want the car back to a reasonable new condition all round. Fair point if you prefered the other colour tho...

Here is a better picture of the colour.

I personally think it's better than

but as always everyone has different opinions. I also like to hear everyones thoughts whether they like it or not.
