Corsa trip projecto

Post by MattMK »

Hi every one :) got my corsa about a week ago now as i had enough of my fiesta so thought i'd get a project thread up. Its just a 1.0 12v but im not going to race it so it dont matter lol.
Its low milage and has full service history, previous owners c/c'd the whole thing and had some poney alloys on it lol, the c/c isnt the best in the world but saved me doing it. so heres some pictures :)

These are just the ebay pics

So when i got it home i gave it a good wash and wax and de-badged the back, gave it a good hoover but over all its a rely clean car for the age, these are just pics of it after de-badged.

Im going for a sort of euro look, my plans for it are...

Cors C SXI alloys or other vauxhall ones* (now on)
Badgless-grill
HIDS or angle's not sure
Coily's
Smooth boot
Smooth rear bumper
Smooth front bumper (number plate recess)
GSI skirts or other subtle ones
Clear side repeaters
Wind defflectors
Opel mudflaps and a few other subtle mods :)


Any helpfull coments would be great :)

Many thanks

Matt

i'd go black imo looks mean as. especially if you get a badboy bonnet and lower it like kie has done in the photoshop.

white looks a bit girly against the blue imo.

ur car though mate :)
