I posted a few photos of my car when I first bought it a few months ago. Got it fully colour coded this week (handles, mirrors, arches, bumpers, roof rail strips etc) and had a GSi bumper fitted.

I'll get some better pics of it up later, for now I've got some from my phone.

Yeah Rob mate, it's something I want to get done in the future. Chris had his smoothed, looks spot on IMO. ( http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4873/julias_new_photos_128.jpg )

Next up is smoked front and rear lights, I think.. Trouble is the only smoked 5dr rears are proper mirror black ones, unlike the 3dr Irmy or MHW ones.

Job well done! Good to see the headlamp eyebrows have gone, vast improvement now.

Not sure about a full smooth tailgate, but removing the rear wiper would be a good move.

Is it lowered?

Cheers willay!

It's lowed 40mm Earl, it's not too obvious, something nearer 60 would look nicer I reckon.. When it's sat next to other five doors though it's definately noticeable!

Oooooooooo thats cool

I like satin red. Get some dark gunmetal finish alloys, like the ones on my calibra. Goes so well. Some crystal headlights like steevgreetham and a SMALL roof spoiler, something that looks factory that would be spot on

Ah Jambo, you reckon clear headlights? I was thinking clear smoked to match the dark windows and side reps. ..already got a small roof spoiler sorted, like Tim's had.

Not a great fan on the five doors but this looks pretty cool and different. A bit more work and it will be spot on

Cheers..

I have a list of stuff I'd like to change and add.. Smoked lights will probably be next, followed by the subtle lip spoiler, replica GSI or Irmy skirts, then wheels and nicer exhaust.

needs to go down, and it would look good with a pre 97 rear bumper being colour coded

I prefer the post 97 mate, looks more tidy IMO. If I can get hold of some cheap 60mm springs I'll lower it more.

Thanks Stavs, I'm not sure if I want Irmy or GSi ones yet. I have been looking at the softstars, especially as they're so cheap at the moment.

Sheps, I went to a Body Shop called Lake Autos. They charged £500 for spraying and fitting/refitting of bumpers, arches, handles, roof rails, mirrors, bootlock surround, petrol cap.. plus the smoothing/sanding down of necessary bits. They even resprayed the grille in matt black because it had loads of red overspray on it from the previous owner.
