Corsa Envoy 1.0 LOG

[witt6116]

My first little 1.0 corsa!!
FRONT

Back/Side

Back/Side


Wish some ministry of sounds 6x9 that came with it not wired in but!!

After couple weeks having the car, i already had some ideas for it! And the one thing that annoyed me the most was the scuffs on the "momo" alloys from the previous owners..

I then after a little searching on ebay found wheel trim stickers that surprisingly stick on well.. not bad for £4!!



Then i decided to spray the front & back bumpers as the crappy discolored grey was anoying me! and got a bit of paint on the grill so just done that aswell looks crap but done till i got my de-badged one..

I then decided to get some red LED sidelights from ebay once again



Then my mate gave me a led strip and switch , and wanted to see if i cud wire it in ok and was easy so fitted that..





I also debadged the back



this is alot of effort to get the old adhesive the tricks they give u on internet like useing WD40,mayo, babyoil, all didnt work for me so just went hallfords and got some goo gone alternative cant remember the name now but then worked a treat!!

Also if theres anybody selling a backbox in the northamptonshire area please let me no!!


Also any comments and ideas would be appreciated!!



I have recently got a red interior light, and 2 new 6x9s and sub and amp pics coming sooon!!!

looks evil! hahaha

[witt6116]

haha i no! never had it on, number 1 will look like a tit number 2 garenteed to get pulled by police!

[98CorsaDre]

jip! your guarantee to get there attention with that! hahaha

[witt6116]

yeh your right there haha, off to give it a clean and get some pics of inside!

[witt6116]

Finally got round to spraying the door speaker covers black, was thinking about doing them red but wasnt sure so black it was, nice safe color lol



I also fitted my red interior light, wasnt the brightest thing in the world but just got it for effect ...might just replace with clear bulb not to sure yet will see...



Is abit brighter at night but not to good, wen u drop money on floor at night and cant find it!


I then decided to replace my 6x9s with some new 1200w max ones from ebay, i no they dont put out at that but for £21 who can complain ay..




Underside wired in..

Also screwed my AMP on to the back of my seat cus cudnt really go anywere eles, and its out the way there.. its a sony xplod 1200w had some scratches on it wen i got it so just sprayed it black..



And here it is all in place...



I did try and wire in my 6x9's into the amp but for some reason all i cud get from them was pure bass! was soooo anoying and i fiddled around with all the settings and still didnt work properly so, i just ran them straight to my head unit, and then ran my sub off my amp and thats it, now works a treat and certainly packs a punch now!

Anyway any comments, advise, tips or ideas welcome good or bad...
:)THANKS!!!

The attention you will get you won't like, if a copper see's those side lights he'll chew you up and spit you out mate!

Knight Rider strip needs centralising, get the Momo Arrows re-conditioned mate!!!

Get it lowered...quickly!!!

Nice for a frist motor! Another B saved!!!

[witt6116]

Luckily havnt been pulled for the side lights as yet i have the clear ones in glovbox if i need 2 change em... and yeh your right about the Led strip, but am loooking for a new front bumper cus that ones got a paint peeling off it now, and has a couple scuffs, and would prefer a better loooking one, and your right about the alloys but i dnt really no were to go round here to get tht done, or hope much it would cost ? any ideas on a price i wud be looking at..

Or was thinking of just getting newer better ones!

And yep i sire love My Corsa B wudnt change it!!!

[M4RSH4LL]

could do them yourself the alloys i spent 140 getting my speedlines done ( which isnt too bad since before they were REALLY bad)

[witt6116]

Yeah suppose your right couldnt be to much to rub bumper down and respray it.. also M4rsh4ll were did u get your bonnet bra? i had a look on ebay and theres a couple but all have 2 little bits sticking up on them i jst want a plane flat one like yours if possible!

[Munki]

There's a site for bonnet bras, I'm not keen on them but Im getting a white one just to put on for the trip to all the shows. Dude trust me do not replace your Momo Arrows because they are a really rare rim now! My mate Col at works just paid £200 for a set for his XR3 cabby!!!

Where are you based???

Wheel Repair Centre nearish to me did my original Mini rims for £195 and they did an A1 job!

[witt6116]

Really am new to cars and stuff, new they wernt to cheap like, i might do that then, and northamptonshire area.. town called corby.. al have a little look on internet see weres closee..

[Munki]

If it was my B:

Colour code your bumpers, scuttle, wind mirrors and arches
Set of euro style rear lights, depo or smoked angels for the front
Get rid of the rear wiper
Get some 165/50/15 tyres on those rims for a bit of stretch
Lower 40mm all-round (or 60mm if your like me when it comes to stance!)

I like my music so have a look at what I managed to achieve in my B! You don't have to pay someone to do it either! This is my first attempt at an install and I would change it!!!

You don't have to go mental but use your boot space well when it come to your install no matter how big or small it is, look to upgrade your speaker and the amplifier may work!

You coming to Modified Nationals in Peterborough in May???

I'll be there with my club
