Looks a tidy base really clean,
My car is done on a budget, really lows and wheels is the only big expense but bar that it can look really nice for little money and vauxhall alloys can be picked up cheap with tyres

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

When I've got my 1 years no claim I was thinking of swapping the 1.0 12v to a 1.2 16v would it bolt strait in and what would I need to do to make it work?

Re: My corsa b project :)
Think its just a bolt in job but unsure as its not a conversion i have ever seen done, its 10 extra bhp so is it worth the money/time to you
If it was me id go for 1.4 c14se but thats just because i like the engine,

Just to add i was able to beat 1.2s in my old 1.0 and the 1.0 makes a better noise than the 1.2 imo aswell
The only real difference you will notice is going up steep.hills
