Im alright with a jigsaw lol, i prefer working on the engine though to be honest, more my kind of thing.
Wanted to keep the plastics black as it breaks the colour up a bit, didnt want too much yellow... the colour has still got to grow on me a bit lol
Well i got her back earlier, shes now sitting in my drive with a new paint job. Will get some updated pics tomorrow

Right, now you need some decent 15's and put a 60mm kit on it. It needs some styling ASAP.
oh and a spoiler...

Spoiler - definately!!
15's - definately! Wanting to get some origional vauxhalls but havent seen any i like yet
60mm - i was only thinking about 30-35mm as i really dont want to lower it too much

Hey lil_miss, liking the project so far, and £450 for that respray is a bargain.
Its unreal how much a decent set of Vauxhall alloys and lowering makes a car turn from a granny motor to a nice sporty looking corsa (and the same with most cars really).
My little corsa is lowered 55mm on PI shocks and springs with Vauxhall Alloys, with all te black trims (as i wanted to keep it red & black to break it up abit) and it looks about right, no rubbing, no hassle over speed bumps etc
Anyway, keep up the hard work and keep the posts & pictures coming
