So. this is how my first car, the more door finished.. 
 
  
 
and now i wanted a change, the POWAAA of the 1.2 got a tad boring, soo i wanted something with a bit more go. 
 
Looked at 106 gti's, Vts's and all the insurance was stupidly high then stumbled across a Gsi, went to view it twice and then     
 
  
 
Its a completely standard M reg corsa gsi, 66,000 miles on the clock. 
Has both L pieces and jacking point covers, standard alloys and standard height. 
 
The one bad point im not happy with is the 6x9's in the parcel shelf but i will be buying a new parcel shelf to replace it. 
And also need a new vauxhall badge for the front.

Cheers fazza   
 
and keeping the price to myself but was less than what is was up for! Im going to fit my depo's when i can be bothered and then it will be going into the bodyshop to get a few bits touched up so it looks perfect again   so yeh aiming to keep it standard for now but im sure that will change in the new year .

to be honest the only thing i don't like about the GSi is the standard set of wheels. they look shite in my opinion but i really think they're the only thing that lets them down.
