Looks alot better now mate, it's amazing what a quick clean does

I'd be totally against a bonnet bra, think they look daft but everything else sounds good:)
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Going for the stanced, euroy type thing. When I get the car on the road I'll probably change it up every few months or so haha (It's what I'm like - never happy with one thing)

But yeah, at the moment just thinking to go with black steelies, roof bars and a bonnet bra to give it the custom look without spending top dollar. As my dream Corsa B would be an sxi or gsi in blue with white speedlines but it's just so much money and a lot of care has to go into it. I just want something to mess with as my first car.

Ooh and in the future I want JOM Coilovers too...

There's nothing special about the sxi it had semi buckets and that's it really lol

Steelies and roof bars is more rat look is it not?

Coilovers is an awesome shout:)

Best Corsa i've seen rolling on steels! I really do like the look of your corsa, I think some home-made depos and de-rubstripping will finish it nice for the time being I reckon. Maybe some German rear lights if you can source some....

Haha thanks guys that means a lot didn't expect that sort of reaction. And Andy they're not actually banded steels just painted the outer silver and centres black with good old hammerite!

I would of liked to take the rub strips off as they're all mucky behind anyway with tiger seal or whatever but unfortunately the previous owner went too far or hard with a toffee wheel and he reckons whilst trying to remove the glue he burnt the paint off or something? :/

My mate has mentioned home made depos so I might try and pick a pair up cheap and do them whilst these are still on the car! Or if I find a decent second hand pair grab them maybe?

Never seen German rear lights but I'll take a look!

Thanks for the nice comments guys, car owes me £300 quid odd as it stands :)

As long as you heat up the bonding to sufficiently detach the lens without it breaking, you'll have no issues. Trick is with DIY Depos is not to rush, or you'll cost yourself with broke lenses and shizz
