Red Corsa B

[CorsaB1993]

Im fairly new to this forum but i thought it would be a good idea to do my own project log

My parents bought it for me back in Feb this year for £850.

- 1999 1.0l 12v
- 67,000 Miles
- Came with 12 Months MOT and Tax
- New tires
- All original

I started doing small changes to it but i decided to spend more on the car, so i thought it would be a good time to show you guys what ive done. Im not sure if i will have the car for much longer mainly because its a little bit slow, ive had it for nearly a year and im almost certain i will get a Honda Civic 1.6 v-tec. I've been considering buying a bigger engine for it but im not 100% sure if it would be more hassle than its worth as i wouldnt be able to do it myself. I will be adding pictures tonight and more on the weekend (if it passes MOT, fingers crossed) as it needs a good clean and polish

Exterior:

- De-badged Grill
- Smoked rear lights
- Smoked repeaters
- De-badged at rear
- Corsa C SXI 15inch Alloys
- Performance 3.5 Inch Backbox
- Induction Kit
- Beesting Aerial

Interior:

- USB, AUX, CD, Bluetooth headunit
- Red/Black Seat covers
- Red/Black Gearstick Gaitor
- FLI 12inch 1000 Watt Sub
- FLI 270 Watt 6x9's

hi and welcome get some pics up

[CorsaB1993]

Here are a few pictures that i have on my laptop, more will be coming soon

This is how it was bought, all original


After a good clean


then i decided i should start spending money on the car so i got myself a De-Badged grill to start of with


then i moved onto smoking the rear lights, i wanted them to be unique so i decided to leave the reverse light rather than spraying the whole lot


Finished result, i apologise about how dirty the car is >.<


Fitted a headunit, CD, USB, AUX and bluetooth all for £45


After giving it a clean and a polish, i think it was a well spent 2 hours (Y)


I got myself some Corsa C SXI alloys from a friend for £50 will good tires



end result after another t-cut as she was going a bit pink


got some FLI 6x9's 270 watt along with a FLI 12inch 1000 watt sub


close-up of the wheels, im unsure whether its worth having them in black?...



Got myself a 3.5inch backbox for £35, had it all fitted and it sounds awesome! also de-badged the back


gave the engine bay a good clean after i fitted a new filter



Thought i would get a picture on my break at work as it was sunny


i will be taking some better picture this weekend after i get her cleaned up

what do you think i should do next??

[gazza_no7]

Take off the bumper strips down the sides
Spray alloys black
Gsi spoiler
Lower it either 40 or 60mm

That's where I would go from there Looking great though

[tychogsi]

looking good.. just get rid of that huge round backbox

[CorsaB1993]

yeah they are the things next on the list are the side bumper strips easy to take off?

the backbox was just a cheap one for the moment till i get a sportex one......thats if i dont get myself a Civic

[CorsaB1993]

Got it all cleaned up so i thought id take a few more now the cars all shiney

[scorpiotn1]

if you clean this car any more you wont have a shell left to work with

[CorsaB1993]

in the last 2 months ive cleaned it about 3 times and t-cutted it once but red is the worst colour, it fades sooo quick

[scorpiotn1]

was joking buddy

How did you smoke your rear lights

[CorsaB1993]

spray them with light tinting paint. 2 coats is the legal amount so make sure you dont do them too dark. use a hair dryer so the paint doesnt run. put newspaper around the light like i have done in the picture so it doesnt go on your car. you can do the same for the repeators as well much cheaper than buying tinted lights

here is a link for the spray - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAVAGE-TAIL-L ... 19b33653ea

Cheers fella will get some when I have some money

[CorsaB1993]

yeah its good if you want to make your car unique id advise you to get a bit of card to cover up the reverse part of the lights just so people can see them

[Gluke87]

How do you attach the card to the reverse light
