Arden Blue - Corsa B 1.0

[CORSABM8]

Ok.. second time posting this thread (as you cant edit OP) and the other thread had a problem with the images (I'm now using flickr instead of photobucket so all should be fine)

Anyway, this is my second Corsa B my first was also 1.0 but in atlantis blue

As the title suggests its a 1.0 12v in arden blue, i bought it for £600 bog standard with 38,000 miles.

First thing was to de-badge, i took the rear "corsa" off as well as the side club badges

After that i got a mesh de-badged grill

Then Some pressed plates + swapped the wiper over for a punto MK1 one.

This is how the car stood for a few weeks, i changed the hub caps to some cheap ones that i sprayed black as the ones that came with the car broke while cleaning them.

Next job was to get some side repeaters - decided to just tint the standard ones, which came out pretty well

Next was the exhaust

Got a Sportex backbox + racetube i had the backbox on my old b but never had a racetube before

backbox came out well after a clean (was on my old B for a year)

Then I Decided to de-wiper, the punto wiper looked better than standard but was useless so thought it might as well just come off

Lots of rust though

I then sprayed a grommet arden blue, havent put this on yet.. will put it on once rust has been treated

The cars booked in at garage for next saturday to have them fitted

[CORSABM8]

After the coilovers are on the plans are as follows:

- Fix rust round wiper whole (then spray) + put CC wiper grommet in
- Spray spoiler i already have arden blue/get one thats already in arden blue
- CC Boot lock
- Gloss black arches, bumper tops + scuttle panel
- Wheel refurb (gloss black)
- Depo headlights

[CORSABM8]

Well fitted coilovers today, will wind the front down a bit more though

Boot spoiler should be next

[JamieTee_]

Tracking should be next you mean


Sent from my mind.

[CORSABM8]

Haha, tracking has been done

[CORSABM8]

Gave it a really good clean up this weekend

I'm happy with how it sits now, i do want a boot spoiler and i'm going to bring the front down some more and get some 110/120mm rear springs.

At the moment leaving the rear adjusters in as i dont like the idea of running them without for lots of reasons (one being insurance), i'd rather just buy smaller springs and leave them in.

cost me a bit but didnt want to mess round with used ones after the last set i bought turned up broken

[JamieTee_]

I'm picking up some home made ones tonight for free

[CORSABM8]

I was thinking about making a set but don't have the patience for it,

[JamieTee_]

Get a cheap set from the scrappy and do it on them just be on the safe side mate
