My First Car/Corsa

[jordyp]

should put gm mudflaps on it. sxi alloys. why you only got 3 of the 4 plugs changed? if you cant get it out run the car for a wee while then turn it off then try it. had same problem with a ford ka. every bolt was stuck solid lol. you getting car resprayed proffesionally?

[Grant L Walsh]

No its a 3 Cylinder Car, only needs 3 spark plugs lol also I am doing all of the paint and body work. Anywho piccies, all what you've been waiting for.
These have been taken a couple of weeks ago;

Mudflaps GONE!!!!


Moving onto the inside
New car seat covers for now and new Vauxhall Gear knob, sadly I forgot to take new gaitor which is red and black with CORSA Stiched into the side

Old gaitor, new gear knob




OMG 102,999 MILES!!!
Also new Air Dial which was missing

Now onto the newly painted trim





Also the one thing you have all been going on about to me. Is now having a good clean and make over. I have been doing these tonight but only done 2. HERE YOU GO






Yes thats right my SXI's will be gleaming once agen with a new coat of White. Before you say anything, I don't like Black, I have seen loads of red corsa's with black SXI's and didnt really take to them soo decided to try white, and to be honest it looks awsome, really stands out of the crowd. These aren't being put on the car until the body work is complete and the Ripspeed Rims are going to be left in my garage and only be put on the car if off anywhere muddy or incase if the SXI's get a flat or summets soo no I won't be selling them.

Hope you like it soo far, the next set of pics will be the completed bodywork and the SXI's been put on

[PRICER]

cool looks great, love the alloys will look mint

[Grant L Walsh]

Cheers mate, I totally agree with you all, the SXI's are soooooo much better than them crappy Ripspeeds :p

[jordyp]

nice one mate. and never thought about the 1ltr haha. thought was 1.2 or something. glad to see the sxis are going on. why dont you get sport seats? i got mine for twenty in good condition except couple wee bits but nothing major. and 20 for the black door cards. complty changes the look and feel of the car. also do the carpet etc lol

[Grant L Walsh]

Yes I am defo looking into new interior or repaint some bits, we shall see. Anyway MORE PICCIES


They are finally back on the car where they belong!!!!!!!



Also whilst doing the wheel I ONLY painted the callipers red, I DONT WANT THE DRUMS DOING, its abit O.T.T. to me




Also will be getting Vauxhall WHITE decals to go on them.
Same with the wheels are having red vauxhall decals on one of the spokes

They should be coming soon, also I painted and debadged this


Also these are the last pics I squeezed in before it got dark, but when I took them, 1 of the rims was still drying and in the garage with the car still in the air. But now its back on all fours and the rubber has been sprayed black to get rid of the white spots.




Hope you like it fellers

Looks very smart! just wondering did you use normal spray paint wen you sprayed parcel shelf? i have thought about it but wasnt sure lol

Thanks!

[Grant L Walsh]

For my parcel shelf and all of my black bumpers, arches and trim, I used Black Gloss which I got from Wilkinsons. Its in a Purpley, Bluey tin with a black lid and its about £4 a tin. Its very good stuff and dries very quick and stays on quite good actually. Also you get alot for your money as well. I also baught White Gloss for my Rims which gave it the Glossey white look. Hope this helps

[witt6116]

Gave me sooo many ideas for mine!! did you just use normal gloss spray paint for doing interior?

[Grant L Walsh]

yup, it was quick, simple, easy to use and cheap. the possibilities are endless lol
