Green Goddess :D

Post by harold_dcfc »

Hi, got this Green 1.2 Nreg corsa off my neighbour a few months ago, head gasket had gone so she kindly gave the car to me :D
Headgasket fixed for £200 :D new car full tax and MOT :D I didnt really intend modifying the car atall when i first got her...but seen some other Corsa B's about and thought they looked smart...soo heres whats happened so far. please leave comments advice etc.

Image
This is pretty much her when i first got her....sorry theres not many pics of her when i got her, didnt think to spend cash on her :L

Image
Alloys £80 with semi-decent tyres, Bargain i thought?
Image
Here you can see the bonnet bra, and i also purchased some colour coded bumpers :D
Image

Image
Here she is in my mates garage...i wired those little lights on the base of bumper...eBay :D
Image
These show those little lights again, also my new pressed metal plates :D:D
Image
Saw this on eBay and had to have it :L
Image

Image
Thats dent on the back wing may have been a school boy error when id just passed :/
Image

Need some help here lads.... i purchased those colour coded bumpers and when they arrived realised the previous owner had cut the standard grill out and put a debadged one in...from a distance looks sound, close up theres gaps :( and it fookin bugs me :/
Image
The gaps are either end of grill :(
Image
Any help? new grill? or has the other bloke fooked me bumper?
Ill put more pics up when i do more stuff:
Lower 40mm (any lower and i wont get up me drive)
Smoke Rear Lights
Sri Interior
New Exhaust
Maybe a black bonnett

hey mate welcome to the forum. looks like a gd project you'vegot there, as for the grill i dont think them bumpers are really supposed to have tht grill in, most people have mesh or something similar in but tbh it doesnt look to bad how it is.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
