Had it coming on two weeks now but i have only just managed to get some pics of it

Its in good condition genrally except for the usual chips and scratches baring the front bumper and bonnet which have benn resprayed/touched up by someone who clearly didnt know what they were doing
But for the price i got it for i cant complain and its got full vauxhall service history from new, even the origional invoice from when it was brought by the origional owner who part exchanged his nova for it





































Going to be getting new number plates when my v5 comes back and then the front bumper and bonnet resprayed, although i am toying with the idea of getting the whole car done to get it looking 100%

Other then that im not sure weather to keep it 100% factory or mod it as a lowered smoke grey gsi on speedlines has always been the corsa i wanted
opinions welcome

I know it varies greatly but anyone remember what they paid to get a whole car sprayed?

Im also enjoying it loads, so much better then my old 1.2 8v. Also standard gsi suspension is lovely stiff enough for a little bit of fun but still really comfy

gavin i got my corsa fully repainted for 1500 but that included welding up the bumpers, welded bonnet and a few extra bits as im sure you have seen my car !

the job i got it pretty much faultless imo and im sure a alot of people will agree its to a very high standard

also its nearly a year on and not a sight of a chip, blemish, or anything really

u2u me if you need to where i got it done

I agree - don't even change the side repeaters. Keep it 100% standard as one of the last remaining mint examples.

yer think that will be the plan, can always change the wheels later on if i feel the need. Spend the money on getting it mint and go from there

Thats a lot of history! Will you be keeping up the main dealer servicing?
