Sumo_corsa

Post by Sumo_corsa »

Hello guys, this is my first project, used to have a nova saloon but it sadley went to the big scrap yard in the sky. Found a sad little 1.2 corsa b on a forecourt of a garage, bought it for 400 pound and never looked back. Was just thinking of keeping it simple lowering, alloys and maybe a nice stereo. well that went out of window lol

Now it is a one off corsa, so far i have graphted sideskirts and arches of a mk1 golf to give it that wide arch fat boy look. Also has original bbs alloys off a mk1 golf on.

Current mods:
One off body kit
Original BBS alloys
Clear back lexus lights (not to everyones taste)
JVC head unit
JBL GTO 360 door speakers
Sub Zero 300 watt parcel shelf
380 Magnat bulldog sub with 450 SPLX amp

Futer mods:
Tinted windows
Sprayed Black
Graffiti bonnet
Spray interior trim
Change steering wheel wanting a momo
Angel eye front lights
Change all interior lighting
Board all back out for monitor and ps2

Heres pics of how its gone so far:
How i first got my car

Then started to put the kit on

I know it looks bad but be patient :)

Then i found some wheels which i really wanted but dint know whether they would fit but they did
Image
Look good but still not right, so decided to spray them

that aint for me i'l have to say :sick: if you got spacers and put your wheels to the outside of those arches you'v put on, you'l have to have literally NO suspension travel at all due to hitting the arches all the time, and if you leave your wheels as standard without any spacing then it'l just look really crap due to the excessive over hang of the arches. all i can say is bl00dy good luck filling those arches!!

oh and also get rid of those poo lexarse lights!! :meh:

for me i reckon you've made a massive mistake blending the arges in to the front and rear bumpers, what if you have to remove either of them? bumpers flex alot and i reckon the join will crack , undoing all your hard work and new paint job.

just my opinion.
