well, just interested in upgrading my ride really, as it is pretty low spec, mostly interested in upgrading the electrics.

have installed new headunit, and added a simple subwoofer in the back.
think it is cool to use second hand parts from other cars and using it in mine, so any help on which parts from other vauxhalls that fit the corsa.

you could take off bits of your dash and spray them if your into that. tint the windows. if you havent already you could fit a new sportier backbox and possibly HIDs if you would like brighter blue headlights. you could add interior neons, all sorts mate. just depends on how much cash you want to spend and what your into.

been thinking of spraying pieces of the dash in glossy black, might do this when my wallet agrees, along with window and rear light tinting.
already tried HIDs, but took them off, as everyone kept complaining about the glare :P
kinda wanting a clean and "mature" finish to it, so no neons :P
and as for the backbox, well, rather have a hidden exhaust than a big 5" jap pipe hanging on the back of my car :P

Well the obvious one is Brakes.

Slap on the 256mm Setup. Costs peanuts.
