Hi all well here we have a 1999 1litre arden blue corsa B picked the little gem up last night and have a few tasty plans that will be done over the period of me having her! so far my plans are Lowering 40ml or more when i can decide or may go down the coilover route.. peco full system exhuast with a twin exit backbox debadge front and rear.. and just general tarting up.. so far i have purchased 15inch alloys this after noon and picked them up didnt want to really go any bigger coz im going with the low and slow theme with this one i think.. as ive done in the past with my old VW's plenty of updates to come this will be a never ending a project believe me.
Plenty of cleaning to be done and polishing! not really been able to do much over the past day what with work and the really poor weather!! will update with high q pictures very soon after rims and polishing has been done guys plenty of updates and bits arriving

Thanks for the positive feedback mate i thought id get black alloys to break it up abit what with the black bumpers too.. will look a hell of alot better once there fitter and been slammed to them.. i think they go really well im quite pleased not be able to get them on untill the weekend though! Boooooo!!!!! better pictures soon guys.
looks good mate, you should get some colour coded bumpers/mirrors, gsi spoiler for the exterior and for engine i would say get ecotec spark plug cover for it and polish the rocker cover and maybe a k&n air filter, what further plans you got for it mate?

Cheers for the input bud.. i am thinking about color coded bumpers but not to sure at the moment main things i want to get done is debadge it... spoiler.. lower it unsure how much what would you guys recomend as im thinking of doing it very soon? and a exhaust system i want to get these bits done in the next two weeks... also looking for a debadged front grill any ideas were i can sorce one from?
tbh youd be better off checking the distance between the arch and the top of the tyre before you decide cause if you do it to much then your screwed or if you do it to little then it wont be as good, and i would suggest a powerflow or sportex backbox because there normally resonably sized and give a good sound, and ebay would be the best place to get one mate, get one for about a tener

Looking forward to seeing the pics with your new wheels, looking at getting some 15s myself - wanna see how it looks especially before lowered
Cheers for that mate cheap but make the whole front end look better imo.. ill get it on order next week me thinks once ive got the wheels on ... need to get the calipers and drums painted up as well wana get the rim fitted and see how she stands then =P
jordyp wrote:cant wait to see the progress....where did you get the alloys? halfords? they look nice but i like the vauxhall alloys better but thats my opionin
Yes mate got them from Halfords.. i was going to get the corsa c sxi alloys but i think there to common dude.. so i thought id be abit different just been offered a rear spoiler for it same color mint condition £20 is it a straight forward fit?
Right got a few better pictures and started with a tad of cleaning under the bonnet it was soo dirty the amount of black poo thats come off it i can tell the old lady who had it before clearly had never been under there in some years so far this is how its turned out lots more cleaning still needed under there though....
Really need some better weather at the weekend plans are wash wax and polish all over and get the bumpers looking how they should i.e nice and clean.. Rims on and maybe make a start on getting the drums painted up
looks awryt mate, get a corsa sport interior or just any black one really, get insturment cluster wi rev counter wi blue lights in them, colour code mirrors n handles, cant wait to see the pics of the alloys on it, and the spoiler should be pretty much straight forward but you need to drill holes for it, i didnt need to cause i had mines on it already so that was a really big advantage for me lol, you still need an ecotec cover for it lol will make it look fresher mate, and debadge n dewiper it and itl look a couple different car bud
Right after a long hard day on the car as it was my only day off this week i decided to get cracking with her.. washed.. waxed and polished the arden blue came out a treat!! then as the sun was shining that gave me a reason to put the rims upon her took thousands of pic's but narrowed it down as i dont wana clog the forum up guys!!!..
... need to get the calipers and drums painted up as well wana get the rim fitted and see how she stands then =P
