Gotta start somewhere :-D

Post by sparky_LS »

Alrite all I have a 1.2 LS 8 valve corsa (nothin to really boast bout lol but its a start haha) aint really done much to it either just the basics:

Alloys

T1 Audio T1-8200 Stereo (of course playin to a fusion sub with Fli door speakers)

And rear lexus lights leavin it to look like this

Also i am tryin to find out what these alloys am off as i have seen similar ones but with no caps and how much you reckon they am worth to sell.

Also am open to any suggestions of which to do.
On my wish list:
1. all round body kit (any ideas of descent ones?)
2. angel eyes
3. complete respray (unsure of a colour)
4. Windows tinted
not to sure what else yet to do lol

(more pics should be added soon.)

not bad mate, first, spray those centre caps black to match!!! and second get rid of those lexus lights asap and put standard ones back on! then get some tinted side repeaters, and go for the depo headlights, and then lower it a bit and your car will look awesome 8) plus where abouts are you from?

Also i am tryin to find out what these alloys am off as i have seen similar ones but with no caps and how much you reckon they am worth to sell.
the alloys are called cesaros, i have them on my corsa and there pritty popular alloys for a corsa and pritty hard to get hold of with all the centre caps.

i just sold 3 centre caps for £30 te other week.

keep them and paint the centre caps to match. if you want new badges for them there on ebay.
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!

cause not alot of people like the look of them with centre caps so they decide to chuck them, if youve got a set of cesaros for sale il buy them if you get a pic up and a decent starter price, and nice project get rid of the lights mate, lower it, decent exhaust, sport interior, gsi spoiler if youve not got one,

Nice car there mate :)
I used to have an Atlantis Blue Club.
I think you should put standard lights on the back aswell but smoke them!
Really improves the look of the rear end :P

Also bodykit wise, If i were you, i'd either go for a full GSI kit or get the arches colour coded and get the front and rears smoothed :)
And im very jealous you have cesaros. Cant find any, at ALL! :(

Keep it up 8)

stick some photos up or just describe how much damage has been done, we can soon advise you on what would be best option, because corsa parts aernt expencive, depending if you'v bent the chassis or not,
