If it's the interior, it's the two front seats and the rear seat. (Only prob with it is you would need to take off the drivers sub frame on your seat and put it on the one i got as the new seats i bought had the driver's one broken! (so obviously had to use it on mine!)
I bought these for £100 a couple of years ago. There in good condiion. I just need to give the driver's seat a clean.

Personnally i'd take it off. I think it would look better without.
See what it looks like when you get your rally stickers etc. Mite give you more of an idea as to whther you like it or not after. you might find the sticker will clash. then again it might suit it.
altho i think it would look better without as it'll look debadged properly then!!

Good lad you know it makes sense!!
No prob. thought i'd ask!
Nah haven't got my car on here yet. I'm waiting until i've got a few more bits on till i show it off on here. I wanna get my gsi sideskirts on, wind deflectors if i can make them fit!! front splitter and a few other bits first. I wanna try and get it on a stand at PV show if i can. Got lots of plans for it but not much time to do it in!
Here's a picture of the new seats i had bought for me for christmas off my mom/dad and my Grandma (Who passed away yesterday
)
I fitted them on boxing day!! The picture is of them when they were listed on ebay!

i can see why you would want them
very nice.
i just put my car straight on ere...so tht way people can see what i started with.
i think white corsas r definatley best,i do like black as wel but there too common.not keen on the red ones either...basically red,black and green corsas r most common..therefor dont stand out like the white ones do.
i mean look how gorjus this is
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0300949840 (copy and paste link)
im going for pretty much exact same look..but with rallly decals etc..and not the tinted windows(although i want them coz they look the tits-they arfe not rally style)

Nice car that. Not keen on the interior tho!
Don't forget the blue one's too. There also popular!
I've just read your bit about the fron't grille. I've got the newer versioned corsa (v reg) so already had the v grille so no filling required. I ditched the black plastic bumpers and went for some colour coded one's!! Has made my car look so much better. (although i'm going for a different style to you). I'm giving little bit's about my car away now arn't i!!)
I got my front and rear bumpers for £50 think it was. ok i had to paint them from red to white but still!!
I've got a picture of an identical car to mine to show what the car looked like when i bought it so when i start to put the pictures on people can see what i've done!
I'm also trying to do what you said about making a nice looking car on a small budget. I'm at uni and only work part time so don't get much to spend.
K cheers. Are they the chrome style or white plastic one's?? I'm after the white plastic one's! Think there only found on the mud flaps!

i wwas thinkin about jus gettin new bumpers..but for now i might just cut the grill out..i dont like the moulded grill look lol
im only workin part time,and have other things to pay for...so it really is a very tight budget lol..im in no rush so just gonna get little bits here n there...will look good in the end i hope,eitha way its good for my first car as it is lol...let alone once iv done it up.
iv helped do up alot of my freinds cars...just happy to finally have my own lol
they are the chrome ones...they are off the front..dunno where they came from coz mines still got one..just found them in the ashtray wen i bought it lol
