Well i think its about time i started a project thread on my corsa as i have owned it almost 3 years and its my first car so any way...
Picked this little beast up October 18th 2006 its a 1.2 8v breeze 1owner from new i just had to have it just for the colour plus i had looked at loads of corsas and this one is the cleanest one i found after looking for over 2 weeks.
Here she is.
Then i had a sport spoiler & lexus LED rear lights fitted 
Then some sexy angle eyes & de-badged grill with irmscher badge 
Then had a little accident with a jeep in feb 2007 which ripped my front bumper off & demolished my nice irmy grill  this is how she stood for over a week.
Eventually all fixed 1 week later 
And removed my gay rear led lights after getting told off by you lovely CS members  and could see why when i fitted my standard lights back in also fitted some rear mudflaps.
Next came up was some lovely crystal clear headlights and some corsa c sxi alloy wheels after seeing some on a arden blue B around my area.
Since i had the bump this headlight never sat right with the huge gap around the top that really bugged me everytime i looked at the car.
After asking around my mate got a lad from springfield honda who is a panel beater to come have a look at it and fix it for me 
Fixed
Then purchased a magnex 5x3 exhaust with a remus straight through center pipe & some vectra chrome interior handles and some dial rings.
Next thing was to lower her -50mm as she looked like a monster truck after fitting the alloy wheels also have the exhaust system fitted at the same time at my local garage and she now looks like this.
Had some new plates made up.
Then sent the roller parts out the vents to greece to DimG on here to be chrome dipped which is still favorite mod to this day.

Then went out for a little photo shoot.
More updates coming

The next purchase was some MHW rear lights that i bought in a group buy on here.Also fitted some astra gsi rear mudflaps.
Then went to a corsa sport RR day down @ vsport with linch,was a good day but was bloody freezing
I liked the crystal clear headlights i fitted not long ago but felt they needed changing again to go with my MHW's so after a long 6 weeks battle over on ebay they finally turned up.
Also got another de-badged grill & fitted my depos but started to snow but that didn't stop me

Ok time to add a little bit more.
After having the C sxi wheel on my car for about a year i got bored of them so had a look around on here for some ideas and decided to get some of these late astra sxi wheels that i found on ebay.
Then after much debating i went had had the windows tinted also a sun strip fitted too,
Then got a couple of bargains 1st was a immaculate rear irmscher airdam off a lad i worked with for a bargain £50 and a front bumper with irmscher splitter for a nice £40 and some irmscher skirts for £40
But after much thought decided to sell them on for a nice profit so they never got fitted.
Then i purchased some gsi rep skirts as it would match the rest of the bumper trims and arches
And one Sunday morning after a good was i decided to go get some new pictures
Then the following week i parked up to go put the lottery on and found her sister

UPDATE 21/2/10
Bought a momo steering wheel & boss kit to replace the huge 2 spoke bus steering wheel.
Fitted
Took a couple weeks to get use to the size of it.Felt so small compared to the standard wheel
New cd player and speakers bought
Didn't keep the cd player for long didn't really like it when fitted. so put my old one back in.
Wire brushed my calipers & drums and ARB ect down and gave them a lick of hammerite to tidy things up.
Got my self a spare wheel off Ebay and repainted it even tho it didnt really need doing but im fussy like that
Next thing i wanted to change is my interior for a post 97 sxi/sport trim which i bought off dezzy k.
Took months of looking around for a good clean set with minimal wear on drivers seat.
Just need to source some door cards now.
The car started to look high on the -50mm springs so bought some jamex -60mm to see if would look any better.Cheers to my cousin craig (craig19 on here) for fitting them as i didn't have a clue
-60mm front spring compared to -50mm spring -60mm spring on the right.
Small but noticeable difference.
