Newbie here.
So guys, I'm new to this forum since I've bought a corsa 1.2 sxi due to insurance at the moment it's got 81,224 miles on the clock, 12 months MOT and tax has just been renewed too and I only paid £490 for it!
any help with what to start on etc would be nice, already picked out what exhaust and lowering springs I want, I'd love coilovers but don't want silly lows since I work on a cobbled street with potholes and it's just not flat etc..
here's the car anyway
will get more pics along the way for you all!

Re: Newbie here.
Thats the punto wiper.
Gloss black trim is nice thats my plan too
A tigra scuttle looks cleaner that corsa one.

Re: Newbie here.
Punto wiper looks a lot better then, gloss black trim is probably the best way to go really and I'll have a look at them.

Some of the best parts can be the cheapest in a scrapyard

Re: Newbie here.
As above, debadge will be done too, alloys after the springs and a bit of interior work, changing the seats to something with buckets or recliner and a deep dish steering wheel probably, suede roof lining and see what happens from there really

Re: Newbie here.
Welcome along mate Car looks good and a brilliant colour imo
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway
