Iv just bought myself a Corsa D, black 1.3 Turbo diesel. Iv got a few questions to ask if anyone is in the know here ( I havent got a clue about cars but would like to learn)
Anyway want to pimp my new corsa up a bit. Iv got a VXR spoiler put on the back of it which looks good. However theres loads more I want to do with it...
1) Tinted windows - How much roughly for rear window and back 2 tinted, also what percentage would you recommend. I know its only 30% aloud on front 2 and back ones blacked out look shit as it makes it look like a van 
2) Induction Kit - (barling in mind i havent got a clue here lads dont laugh :lol , Is it possible to get them for a diesel, does it increase fuel consumption and how much would I be able to pick one up for roughly?
3) Wheels - How much would it cost for these roughly 

4) Sunstrips - Never seen a corsa d with one. Would it pimp the car up or just look daft? Thinking bout getting a black sunstrip with ''corsa'' written on it in smart writing. Whats your opinions on that lads? How much etc too?
Any help is appreciated. Had a corsa c before this, standard. Boring as fuck. Im 18 and want to pimp my new car up so it stands out from the rest . Do any of these mods bump the insurance up?
cheers in advance

Personally I'd go light on rear tints, not sure on percentage really, but not too dark as it looks like a van like you say.
I personally think sunstips look shocking too, just no

Think 'more is less'
Most mods will put your insurance up

1. I'd only have the rear three tinted if at all, prices vary from place to place.
2. Should be able to get a kit for it, as again, prices vary, best looking at different sites.
3. Pictures to small to tell.
4. Theres a few D's with sunstrips, never been a fan IMO.
Windows, induction and wheels may go up depending on who your with.

1. Go for a dark smoke on the rear windows (all 3) click me to try out the differnt shades of tints.
2. I havent noticed that they increase fuel consumption tbh just a sound (but dont quote me on that get better advice 
3.All depends on what you want tbh.
4. I wouldnt bother with a sunstrip unless you get one 'tinted' into the glass!
