Hello everyone, newbie here..!

Just bought my first car from someone on this forum, it's a 1999 1.0l 5dr Corsa. I've got a couple of months before I'm 17 so between now and then I'd like to change a thing or two, it's not looking bad at all at the moment ( apart from the two extra doors ) but there are a couple of things I'd like to do.

Here are some pics:







Currently it has had colour coded bumpers fitted, eyelids, smoked indicators, debadged, lowered 40mm, 15" tsw wheels, meshed front grille, tints, sportex backbox, and on the inside it has infinity 6x9s on the parcel shelf.

What do you guys reccomend?

Ah, you bought it from the person that got that white Corsa with fibreglass didn't you?

I'd remove the eyebrows firstly, add a Vauxhall badge onto the back again...smaller wiper on the rear,

Thanks,

I did yeah, his new one is so nice!

It's already lowered by 40mm, I'd like to go 60 though.. I want to fit a spoiler on there too, to try and change the shape of the back a bit, but finding a good one for a five door is tough. Don't suppose anyone would know where I could find a nice one online? This one is the nicest I've came across (out of about two others!).

IMO the last 1 is the better of the 3.

The 3rd spoiler is the better of the Corsa B ones I'd say. The 2nd one is for a Corsa C.

Oops, posted the wrong link for that second spoiler! I'm not sure, I prefer the first one IMO, but ideally I'd be after one similar to the 3dr ones.

Never thought of Badging it up as an Opel Shane, but I was trying to decide on the debadged grille or a proper mesh one.

Yeah Chris I saw yours on here before, I really like it! Nice, clean and subtle..

Nice car for a first car mate, even if it is 5dr.

I think you should just color code the rest, arches handles etc, get rid of the eyebrows, badgeless slatted grille at the front, and new numberplates.

But pleeeease dont get lex-arse lights!!

Thanks Andy, the plates and grille are top of the list at the moment, followed by colour coding the handles, a bee sting aerial, and if I come across a nice five door spoiler then thats definitely going on too.

I had to go half way through the post, so thought it would be better than saying nothing

And I don't tell people what to do....

You reckon? Such a shoddy photoshop job, but I think I prefer it colour coded.
