Went up to see the corsa I was planning buying. I like it, its a 1.2 8v Corsa Swing, not the fastest thing in the world, (Proably the slowest ) But its gonna be good for a first car.

Front number plate is hideous though, will need replacing ASAP. Needs lowered too, up on stilts!! Also notice the F.U.K thing on the dash

Also, could anyone tell me what alloys is on it? They have vauxhall center caps anyway, I'm going to get the pained black as they are in pretty good condition.

Yup, GSI spoiler is high on the list of "to get". Was planning the wheels in black, but white would be sweet

Would it not have been cheaper in the long run to spend slightly more on a better example? Even silly things like rusty windscreen wipers will soon rack up the £

The VIN under the drivers seat matches up though, so its fine.
