My Corsa "NEO"

Post by Carlszz »

Okay so this is my first car a, 1.0 in Atlantis Blue :)
I thought hmm, i can do alot to this, i got it with 61k miles on it its V reg (99) all for £600
Here is the day i got it:

Image

Image

Yes, it was completely standard!

First thing i done was give it a good clean and de-badge!
I managed to pick up front and rear bumpers from the scrap yard for £40 so they are now colour coded

Mate let me use some if his red caliper paint

Image

My speedo lights were really dull so i thought id change them, since i was going to change them i thought id go blue

Image

Got myself the halfords edge 900w sub with a sony headunit, also sprayed a part of my air con control blue:

Image

Managed to pick myself up some angel eye headlights for £40:

Image

My springs came! ebay £50, 60mm all around, put them on and took the side door black trim off with a caramel wheel, still alot of t-cutting to do! also i Stickerbomb'd my splitter, back of interior mirror, above glove box and my petrol cover:

(Loads of magic trees lol)
Image

After ages and ages i finally found some Cav Slabs!! got them for £150 with tyres, i originally wanted them in white but these were refurbished in anthrocite, they have just a few scuff marks but im not too fussed, i also painted my bolts in blue so its more color coordinated:

Image

Image

This is my OLD manifold witht he big crack in, picked up my new one from a scrapyard for £20:

Image

This is how my car is at the moment, i am going to fit my angel eyes in when my hids get here then i can do them together, also im waiting for some opel mudflaps and an opel boot badge. and i took the stickerbomb off my petrol cap cause i stood out too much lol i painted my current boot badge just until my opel comes

Was a pretty dull when i took the pictures but ill take some better ones when its done

Ive not done anything performance wise... thinking of an engine conversion for a redtop ive priced it up but im still thinking about it.

Just from a stickerbomb book lol, was gonna get vinyl wrap it but i didnt bother as it wont get wet inside the car
My mirror ones dont come off ever sometimes on the corner the heat peels them off abit but just put a tiny bit of super glue on the bit that sticks out and problem solved

This is like a vinyl sheet for outside the car:

If you just search ebay u can find loads of different sizes for different prices, the vinyl is really good tbh
