Vauxhall Corsa B 5oor 1.2 LS

[nrk_corsaB]

Though id post a project, Here is my 5door 1.2 i brought for £300 from an old guy down the road lol. Looked out dated, dull colour but only done 62,000 miles on an N reg (96)

Not planning on Modding the car to the max, just a bit of updating and freshening up. Plus i chose a 5door because you dont see many of them around, May not be as nice as the 3Doors but ill give it a go.

So heres the car when first brought,

First thing i did to the car was give it a good clean, and take the LS stickers of it and the door reflectors which you cant really see in the images.

I then went and changed the front headlighs, and the side indicators to black, i hate the big orange indicators! (also changed the tax disc lol)

I then gave the car a good polish before the bad winter weather came, a couple of days after my wing mirrors came so i put them on, needed new ones as one of the old ones had a cracked glass and i thought they looked quite nice.

(Not bad for a 16 year old car)

After the winter i ordered some new number plates for the car to freshen the look up. I also took the trims of because i lost one of them and they were starting to look tatty anyway. after another good polish the car was looking mint.

Im unsure whether to add some alloys to the car or just spray the steels black because i think it looks quite nice.
As i said i dont want to mod this car to the max and thats why i havent done much to it, its just my little car for work which i want to look mint.
any suggestions on things i could do and any comments on the car would be much appreciated. Thankyou !...

nice little more door ya got there dont see many modded 5 doors these days, i would defo get some post 97 bumpers and lower it 35-40mm so its practical but still looks lower oh and a new backbox XD i wouldnt get a big one tbh, hpe this helps mate

[gazza_no7]

Looks like a good start there bud like kev said some post 97 bumpers and give it a 40mm drop and it should look very nice about the alloys just look for some vauxhall 15" ones if you get some up to you though

[nrk_corsaB]

Thanks guys, ive been looking at some alloy wheels for it, not sure whether to for black or silver though? Im also questioning whether to buy some wind deflectors, dont know how they would look? Im still thinking about the post 97 bumpers, i just quite like the grill on the car

[kevinturna]

or u culd fully smooth ur front bumper thatd look different?? and get the deflectors i think they look well nice on a 5 dor

[gazza_no7]

Or a gsi front bumper? so the grill kinda looks the same lol

i dont know if your in kent. i have 50mm front and back lowering springs the fronts are on the legs already so just case of bolt on. if ur interested?

[nrk_corsaB]

im not near kent :/ ive ordered my deflectors so hopefully they will be here soon, im also getting the back and rear door windows tinted

Ive also had a new toy for the car, some people may like it i was getting fed up with the dull looking key you get with the car so thought about a flip key..

Now i dont have central locking on my car so i obviously dont use the buttons on the key but i just think it looks so much better then the standard one.

[nrk_corsaB]

Ive brought new alloys for the car and got it looking how i wanted it.. updated and refreshed. i think this looks so much better now then when first brought. Feedback would be much appreciated.

[Aknight_811]

How did you sort the key out? How much was it?

Just go to locksmith and get it cut prob cost around 70-80 to get it chipped

In future start a new thread instead of old projects
