Corsa b Combo

[woodley2010]

i have recently bought a Corsa combo 1.7 no turbo, for 550 with 65k genuine miles, 6 months tax and a years mot the day i bought it, I Started to do some work to it , i put on some mk3 Astra alloys on there and matched them to the paint colour of the van i resprayed my front bumper and put a white stripe across the front of the bumper, i have been searching for ideas and modifications that i could do to my van but i cannot find anything i can do , so if anyone has any ideas for this van please share, ( i cannot lower the van or go over the top with modifications as i run my own company so i need the van to look smartly modified) , thanks Woodley

Welcome aboard Woodley It's always nice to have another Combo on here...I have been modifying mine for work over the last year...they make an awesome little work van!

I would strongly recommend getting a colour coded bumper with a black top off a later model Corsa or Combo...it is much easier than smoothing and painting yours...then use Duplicolour black bumper coating on all the wheel arches and other black plastics ( but not the rubber mouldings on the side) to get them looking nice and factory fresh again... Just doing those couple of bits will make the van look really tidy

If you want to have a look at mine for ideas, my project thread is:

Diggerhole also has a nice Combo project on the go, although possibly not as "company image" friendly :p

Hope this helps and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with yours

Thanks everyone I'm glad there is other combo van fans , liking your projects got some good ideas from both of yours , unfortunately my van is off the road due to my brakes seizing up on the way home luckily it was on a straight not a junction, I have plans of turboing the van from the to verison what steps do I need to do or can I just put it on the van ?

I added 5mm wheel spacers and it greatly improved the handling. Don't forget longer bolts too.
