I absolutely love Vauxhalls and when I got the money, I went out and bought my self a lil tidy Vauxhall Corsa B Trip 3dr in Flame Red for £300 in September 2010.
Anyway this is what the car first looked like:-
As you can see all of the black trim is very faded and patchey. Sooo I firstly washed the car fully inside and out, aspecially the inside as the seats and floor were completely ruined by coke I presume as they were extremely sticky. The next thing I did was use some bumper shine to make my black trim that bit better and added an exhaust tip:-
Then I removed my number plate and eventually bought some Richmond Locking Number Plate Bolts:-
Next task was to replace the broken Pioneer stereo in the car with a JVC and add some new speakers to the back of the corsa, originally I wanted small enough speakers to fit in the areas where speakers would have been but sadly I couldn't find small but powerful ones and ended up buying some Edge 240Watt speakers on the parcel shelf and put the lil tweeters on the black trim just underneath of the rear seat belts:-
After this slight modification, the sound was soooo much better. This was also my first time installing a stereo and was quite pleased with the result. Next task was to install my new EDGE 12inch Subwoofer:-
Again this was my first time at fitting a subwoofer and agen its made a massive difference to the sound. I went for Edge as it was the closest to red i could find to match the car.My next job was to respray all of the black trim on the car tooo errrrrrr Black
to make the car stand out abit. This is the only pic I have after I did it:-
After the first wave of snow I got here at Scunthorpe. I decided to add some mudflaps to the car. Now I absolutely love Rally cars and decided thats going to be my cars theme, a mini rally car, soo I went to Halfords and got some Ripspeed Black Mudflaps, Just for the front for now:-
They eventually had to be moved up as when I had a full car of peeps in the car, they scraped along the floor, aspecially when I went around a corner or braked
Next I decided to re-spray the parcel shelf black as it went with the black trim surrounding it. As you can see in this pic:-
Next thing I knew Xmas was upon us and started to buy things for my car. First thing was to replace the original speakers in the doors with some Edge speakers agen but ones with the tweeter built into it:-
These were a gift from my girlfriend bless her
, anywho I baught some new a new exhaust tip off ebay, it is a Sportex Exhaust and its not too big or too small for the car, and isnt too loud nither, its just right :-
Also baught some Powerflex Exhaust Mounts but longer ones soo the new exhaust could sit abit lower soo it doesn't scratch the chrome tip on the body work:-
Then baught some new Ripspeed Alloys for my car to be wrapped up for xmas. To replace the SXI rims which were badly scratched some of them:-
And finally baught some MORE Ripspeed mudflaps BUT for the back and this is what my car looks like today, enjoy:-
Yes thats me in thats last picture
and since these pics, I have resprayed the mirrors and cut the exhaust mounts to size soo you can't see them anymore holding the exhaust. Also more pics of the trim to come as I have sprayed my grey trim that covers the front speakers black and resprayed the door handles on the inside and the wind up window handles.Hope you all like my car and tips and ideas welcome
