Help, Im new to all of this :)

[Alexxj220]

Hi,

I got the corsa from my mum (Not Cool) but it was free, so its all good. Its the green version, not the nicest colour but its not bad. I want to do the following things..

Remove Back Seats, Put false floor in (With backlit Amp Window) and Carpet.
Somehow make all the grey interior black (How would i go about doing this ? )
New rims
Led up inside of back Left and right window.
Dark tint back 3 windows.
De Wiper
Get some bucket Seats.
New steering wheel.
Back light all the dials with Green LED's

Is there a way to make interior (Dash) another colour, is it as simple as spraying ?


On the exterior, I am going to leave it stock, As i live in a poo aria dont want anyone breaking in, But i do however want to remove the rust and put a mesh grill in to it.

This will be an on going project inbetween work so will take about 3 or 4 months.

Any idea and HELP please

Many Thanks

yes the dash can be sprayed to whatever colour would need prepping tho mine is gold to match the car the door cards i would replace its easier and prob cheaper i have nice alloys if ya want em cheap lol

sounds like an elegant few mods u have in stall 4 us lol !

Hi m8,
Im in Gravesend just down rd for u, check out my project log c work ive done to mine if ya need any help

i'll try and give u a bit of advice on a couple of things m8

1) black interior - some corsa's came with this as standard so try and scour the scrappys and forums (corsasport is a gd one for classifieds) for some1 selling it. its mainly just the black door cards and a few plastic bits so shudnt cost 2 much

2) rims - i wouldn't go much bigger than 15's and ideally you will want the tyres to be 195/45s or 195/50s at max or it will give the effect of raising the ride height a bit. are u planning on lowering at all? if so id recommend vauxhall alloys with the correct offset (et49) if u want to go lower than 40mm without the tyres rubbing

3) bucket seats are again a lot better being bought second hand but just remember they will need their own sub-frames as they wouldn't simply bolt into to the existing corsa ones

3) the steering wheel is again easy but remember u will need a aftermarket boss for it 2 fit on. this is the expensive bit so just watch out for cheap wheels without the boss as they wont work

4) the green leds on the dials are a nice addition to a car and there is a guide i think on here about how to do it. if not pm and i got it all saved in a word doc on my computer. pretty straight forward 2 go and the kits are really cheap off ebay - under a tenner for all the leds. if u want 2 look really smart tho lockwood dials are the way 2 go

5) and yup colouring the dash is as simple as spraying but will require a lot of prep work with sandpaper and a lot of careful and slow spraying to get it 2 look right. otherwise it will look poo and ruin the look of the car. make sure u got a lot of spare time if u want 2 go this

sorry for all the writing - just thought id offer what i know for u

welcome mate sounds like ur gona b busy, i personally wudt go for green LED's in the dash as from wot i've been told they arent very bright at all.
