£995 doesn't seem too bad, looks in quite good condition.
Get the plastics tidied up. P-reg pre-facelift, shame it just missed out.
Be careful fitting a badgeless grill though, because they don't generally fit on pre-97 bumpers.
And has it had a new drivers door at some point? Or is it just the picture quality.

looks like new drivers door, didnt notice till after i paid, new front quarter as well, and the bonnet seems slightly pressed in at the corner thats had the new quarter, and the bolt is missin from the bumper on the same corner..
may have been crashed lookin at it now, but its clean enough for me and drives fine

hmmm... get it up and i'll take a look, the idea was to save money but wide steelies could go into the future plans
quick photoshop of the current plans...
poor quality starter photo but meh.. u get the idea.
obviously it'll be the corsa steelies, that was just the first pic i found that was decent enough quality... unless... would ford steelies fit?
