my first car

Post by jimmyB »

hi there
i have decided to put a log in of my 1.2 8v corsa because im not finished playing just yet ;)
i got my car about 6 months ago for £500
Image
Image
Image
Image
it stayed like this for about a month. thats when i started playing with the looks :P
first i flushed out my boot completely
Image
then i concentrated on the interior, ive got calibre leathers front and rear.
(well atm the bottom of the rear is standard but will sort it soon)
(also please excuse all of the mess, its all because i was installing 6x9s and a sub)
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
then i got my lovely angel lights with smoked repeaters :D
Image
Image
Image
Image
and now i have started to take off the breeze signs from the side of my car
Image
Image
Image
Image
and just over the last weekend i have lowered it 60mm at the front and 40mm at the rear
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
thats about all atm :D
only big prob atm really is the back bumper (accident in the snow left my back bumper with a big hole :( lol)
Image

please comment with your opinions and any ideas for future mods :)
cheers
