Got a few prezzies for the corsa yesterday thanks to my parents

Firstly some gm corsa mats! Sooo much better than the crappy ones I had before



My mum got me two C'mon dolls too. Forgot to take a picture of the other one though lol



And finally a quick pic of my fresh new number plates



Off out for my first drive in it later so I'll let you know how it goes. More updates coming very soon

Ideal, I stalled loads when I was learning, it can knock your confidence doing it but just chill and don't panic and just start off again, and take your time, helped me alot when I was learning to drive.
I did have a lesson before I went out with my old man and it helped out alot, I just went and practised what I was taught in the lesson.

Good look Mate

Lesson went really well guys! had a bit of trouble with the push pull steering but got the hang of it in the end feel much more confident now.

As some of you know the car was broken into a while ago. I thought i'd got it fixed but when I left it out in the rain a week or so ago and the interior got soaked! Plus both of them had been kicked at some point so i've just had some nice new doors dropped off by Rich W Bargin too at £40 delivered! the passanger side needs a bits of paint work but its better than what i've got at the moment.





They have got tinted glass in them but not sure whether to keep them tinted or not? got electric windows too. Will I be able to get them to work on mine being as its a Merit?

Wiring loom aint too bad. If you find a corsa that has electric windows being broke and you can get the plug that connects to the door and wire it up from there.

I did it in my old car took a couple of days to get it sorted and everything but passenger mirror moves

Believe it or not, I used to be into kitted up cars with huge wheels, spoilers etc...thank god I grew out of that
