tigra needs slamming, lol, i had a similar idea, i'm very close to buying a corsa with prowler kit on, and i was going to advertise it and let the buyer decide what colour to do it, wether the kit was to be all smoothed in and things like smoothed tailgate or doors and things

i beat u2 it! i just never really liked the prowler kit, jackos is one of the only cars that pulls it off and thats cos its been deapened! the skirts are way to shallow! much prefer the shape of the combat 2 arches and cam get wheels on the same size with smaller much suttle arches

this should do well on ebay mate. On the advert title try to add that it has 19" wheels, that'll get people's attention straight away.

yea mentioned that a few times!!!!
here is a copy of the add thats going in!!
VAUHALL CORSA 1.5TD 1996
right then here goes.................
basically i purchased the car a few weeks ago pretty similar to how it is now but with smaller wheels on and not lowered, i had a set of 19 inch wheels so i bought the car cos it has a bodykit on that can accomidate 19inch wheels, and suits the large wheels, so since i got the car i have fitted the 19inch wheels, and modified the arches to accomidate both the 19inch wheels and the 60ml lowering which is from a GMAX kit which i just put on the car also!
i have not driven the car cos its not insured but the previous owner drove it about as his daily car and had it service just a few k miles ago, also replacing the clutch cos it was going! the car starts first time everytime tho and runs well, compared to my 106d i have its alot quieter, with some sound deadening under the bonnet wud make it quieter again!
Here is a small spec of the car u are bidding on:-
ENGINE :- 1.5td, recent service, custom back box exhaust looks pretty new
SUSPENTION :-GMAX shocks and springs lowing the car 60ml
INTERIOR :- its got a full sport interior inside, the one drivers seat looks pretty bady worn so i will be replacing that with another one thats fine,
ICE & SECURITY :- no ice of security is in the car, if i am happy with the price i may include a toad alarm from another corsa and some ice
BODYWORK:- where to start, full combat 2 wide arch kit but all totally smoothed in for a different look, roof rails smoothed, boot smoothed, i will be smoothing the rear number plate light off also cos looks silly, bonnet had GSI vents and is also badboyed, arches have been modified to accomidate the large drop and 19inch wheels, the rear lights will also be smoked and also the side reps, GSI spoiler on the boot also!!
painted any colour u want remember
Wheels:- 4stud, et 42 19inch x 7 TSW wheels hardly been used and retail at well over £1100 with these nearly new yokohama tires, 225/35/19, almost new and both tires and wheels are hardly used!
BAD BITS:- only things i come across that i have not taken a look at yet cos only had the car just over a week are, handbreak cable could do with a tighten which i will plan to sort, and there is spot of oil under the engine where its been standing, not looked at this yet, could just be summit small like sump plug need tightening!
sure i have missed things but i cant remember at the moment, will add things!!!
NOW FOR BEST BIT!!!!!!!
I am currently tidying up bodywork cos the old paint job was not good and it was cracking in few places and arches and skirts had to be but to fit the larger wheels!!
SOOOO........ i am offering the winning bidder to choose the colour they want the car, any metalic, soild or pearl colour, from ford imperial blue to Scoubbie P1 blue, or even just Vauxhall glacier white, u can choose any colour u want the car so basically making the car indivitual to how u want it to look!!!! it will be totally imiculate and no cracks or dents etc, like a freshly painted car!!!!!
I am currently working on the car to get rid of all the cracks in the kit and the car will be close if not in primer by the time the auction ends, then i will want 50% of the total winning bid,once i have receaved that you choose the colour and i will paint it and receave the other 50% when u pick the car or i can deliver for a negoatable price! there are so many options for the car when u get to choose the colour, u basically just get to choose the colour of the car u are buying so it suits u
here are a few pics of the car with the wheels on before i started work on sorting bodywork out! will keep u updated on progress on the car:- any wuestions or anything like that email iaz1793@hotmail.com
i can send u pics of some other cars i have created, one being called jagcorsa, a corsa with JAG front end got cover of max power and won best bodywork back in 2004, also got cover of afew other mags in 3-4countries!
