From Blue Bullet To Silver Bullet April and May

Post by corsadeb »

Hi i had a nice euro style corsa did all the smooth bumpers smooth boot and what not then i had a bump someone went into the back off me so car was a write off i kept all of my old parts exahust system coilovers bumpers so on and thought id put them on my new corsa (my silver one) then i herd about OEM+1 and thought ive allready done the smoothed bumper scene why not try something abit different and i personally think its come along really nicely.
This is my first corsa

It went through a lot of changes from when i bought it i painted the weels different colours weekly haha but finnally settled for white then after the bump i striped it and this is what happend...

I then lowered my new silver corsa put my pirelli p slots on there sprayed the textured bump strips matt black painted my wheels gloss black and cut and shapped the number plates and settled for an OEM+1 look corsa which i think is bang tidy....

My plan now in order of priority is
Redtop c20xe 16 v up and running
Remap/set up
chipped ECU
bucket seats
possibly different wheels?
leatherette bonnet?
retrim?
Please let me know your thoughts and comments cheers

bonnet bras look nice but they dont half fade the colour when they on, so if you ever want it off you can tell where the bra's been as the sun burns the paint, looking nice that mate :) keep us updated..

you will not find that as much with metellic's btw its only solid colours you find that, but you will find the paint will sweat in the sun and water sits in the bra, and then starts to make its way under the paint and you end up with a big horrible cloud of disscoloured paint on you bonnet edge to the top of the bra :thumbs:
