Corsa 1.0 (My first car)

[Cameron Bunce]

Hi,

This is my corsa. I have had it almost a year now and have done a few odd bits to it so I will put up pictures from when I got it. Here is a list of what I have done so far:



Lots of machine polishing (it was pink when I got it)
Corsa C alloys (first pic is with irmscher softstar wheels FOR SALE if you want them)
De-Badged the sides (LS badge) and the back (just the 1.0 12V one)
New wiper arms (you can really tell lol)


Thing im planning

Central Locking
GM Mudflaps
Dash with Rev counter
Black interia (my friend did this n it looks really smart)
...... something else too.


After I cleaned and polished it




More photos to come

I got new alloy wheels from a crashed car at a scrap yard. They were scuffed all over but only cost £40 and I got the same as well. My dad has a paint shop so I got him to recondition them for me. I dont have any photos of before but here is the after.









The tyres are Yokohama Parada's. They gril really well. I got them from http://www.valuetyres.co.uk/quotation/index.php for £130. Thats for all 4.

Got the LS badges off and the 1.0 12V one too. Need to keep on top of the black plastic bits. They always go grey with a tiny bit of rain.



Took this photo in a free period at my friends house lol

[Cameron Bunce]

Nice basis matey, i like the wheels you had on before (irmshcer softstar alloys), lower it, debadged grill, depo headlights, a light smoke tint all round on the windows, a subtle 3" exhaust maybe colour the wheels white or an anthracite grey colour and your onto a winner

[Cameron Bunce]

I didn't even know they were that. I think I would sell them. Im hoping to do all that but i havnt got any money lol. Im not going to paint the wheels another colour. I think it looks a bit tacky. They look good when they are clean as they are so im happy. Iv made a exhaust tip but im not getting a loud one cos the police where im from are cracjing down on young drivers. Want to keep the attention away from me.

[danthemann]

do u wanna sell em cheap? lol

[danthemann]

oh an u kno u sed u machine polished it..wot machine u use? r they any good?

[Cameron Bunce]

Id sell them for the right price. How much are you offering. Its a proper machine polisher that you use after painting cars. They cost a lot if you buy the good ones, so unless you use them every day its not worth buying them. And you can only use them on a car about once a year because it takes off a thin layer of paint each time so eventually you will wear through the paint. Iv just machine polished it once and then waxed it every few weeks.

[danthemann]

i mate be gettin sum of my mate..but if i dont get em il make an offer yeh.

o right.i might get one of them electric buffers to polish mine lol-dunno if they are any good but gotta b better thn doin it by hand.

[Cameron Bunce]

Yeh. even doing the corners n bit you cant get to with the machine polishes is a pain. But once its done waxing ever so often isn't bad. You could see if you could get it machine polished at a body shop. Dunno how much they would charge

[Cameron Bunce]

Forgot to say iv put in a Jaguar XJ horn (from the scrappy's again). It sound way better than the little VX one
