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
Look good but still not right, so decided to spray them
Dont look half bad for 1 pound rattle can spray
Now to get them on the car
Looking alot better
These pics a just a few random ones of arches smoothed, parcel shelf and corsa teddy
Any comments welcome even if they are negative, and ideas are welcome

Re: Sumo_corsa
that aint for me i'l have to say 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!!

Re: Sumo_corsa
i think it looks quite well rele, but like PRICER said, get rid of the lights, and good luck with the suspension, but if you get its right it should b smart
also you need some thing like mud flaps wen your dun so the back end looks lower

Re: Sumo_corsa
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.
