hello,

im always lookin at all ur guys project threads, n thought fuck it ill do my own.

so when i 1st past my test i brought my friends (spankyjames) old corsa 1.2 breeze,



had big intentions for it, but unfortuntly i lost my license due to bein a dick, ohwell times have moved on.

so a year and a half l8r and about £700 i eventually get my lisence back and set out to get myself a new corsa (still have my old one, but bit worse for wear) so with a budjet of £2000, i picked up a tidy 1.6 sport, only trouble, dent in n/s wing, nuffin i cant sort out......eventually lol.

so here it is, as i got it.........



so the project goes on, i had some parts i sourced from my old car and brought off a mate ready to go on.....

1st the smoked back lights, mk1 punto rear wiper and plain grille



look good in my opinion
after addin some uprated speakers, i got on ebay and sourced myself a set of tigra wheels, havent seen them used much so thought it would give it a good look.


so aswell as the wheels i also put my exhaust and 60mm gmax lowerin shocks and springs on it,






i then did a lil bit to the interior, i sprayed the plastics that cover th pillars black and the sunvisors awell, gives it a nice touch

i also put my driversside cobra monaco and sparco harness in, need to get the passenger seat yet lol, (pics to follow)

i have also done diy depos astra G splitter modded to fit and astra G clear side repeaters, again pics to follow asap. and a de-cat, kindly brought off lil g , cheers matey

so wat do u guys think so far?

will keep u all posted, cheers Aaron.

looks ok so far, id personally ditch the rear lights in favour of standard ones/smoked mhw ones. get the wing sorted next, will always let it down otherwise
