Thought I should make a thread.

Bought the car In August 2006. Was a completely standard 1.2 16v 3dr Club. Few pics when I bought it:









Then I got cut off at a roundabout, and was forced to hit a curb, which bent the steering.





After that was fixed, Got some Corsa C SXI Alloys, which have now been fitted, I have no good pics though, so the pics below will have to do. ( Yes car is dirty )





Had a clean, and took a better pic:



Due to a dickhead overtaking on the oppostie side of the road, I crashed my car today, ( see post by me at the bottom ) and this means I will not have the car lowered this week as i said it would be .

Pics of a little crash.








Fitted a new CD player

Before -



After -

I have no idea how much the going rate for them is - I only want them as spares. How much would P&P be roughly?

Are you joking me mate its only going to be about 20 quid for a new bumper down the scrappy.

Well since the crash I've not really done too much to be honest

Got a new crash bar on,

Before:



After:



Then De-badged it, but leaving the 16v



Had a few scrapes on the way,








Clear side reps:





Tigra Scuttle:



Then my car was kicked by an idiot
Thread here: http://corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=350639





After sorting that out... it gave me some motivation to sort the rear end out So I de-wipered it, and took the silly 16v badge off.

Then out the bodyshop it came all freshly painted, smoothed out rear bumper, and colour coded arches



Also got the rear quater sprayed



And now Im waiting for an Irmscher airdam bumper for the front, and after that it'll finally get lowered

very nice mate, finally lowered looks 100x better like that, just need a gsi spoiler now

would've preferred a slatted grille to the kamei one but i guess you wanted to be flash and spend more on a good quality metal one

The fact that I have a semi smooth boot in the garage, and a smooth front bumper is annoying, i need them spraying

Also got 2 gsi spoilers in the garage, one's black with brake light, and other is carb blue

Just need to get things sprayed
