Thanks mate, love your wee corsa!

*** today out of boredom, I've sat on eBay and looked for alloys (vintge wauxhall/opel ones)
And completely accidentialy won a set of 14' nova sri (3spokes) with caps and all for £42 and with £30 delievery. They don't look too bad, but,

I would like to ask someone are they worth £72 with no tyres and in pretty good condition? :O

*haven't paid for them yet

Hello buddy nice base im sure she will be looking good!!

about this 'sxi spoiler' are you meaning the GSI one ? or the Corsa C sxi one , im abit puzzled abou that?

as for the wheels, BBS reps would look sweet, or the banded with crazy offset ;) im not too keen on ANY 3 spoke, but whatever floats your boat, sounds like you got them cheap ;)

So hello there again, I haven't been on here a wee while, hope yous missed me :P
If you wonder where have I been, I've been through a lot of problems (not as much) and joys of owning a wee corsa, came up with a name for it btw. Its the "mighty smurfmobile" ;) (since it's blue and I love it ;) )
***
Ill start from the start!
Well the week I disappeared (about a month ago) I hit a giant curb (or a really small wall :P) and the wee "smurfie" was about to be wrote off!!! (Thank the powersteering) (which I don't have)
The whole passenger side front suspension, drive shaft and the rest of "craic" had to be changed, and that's not it, it was bent so bad that it had to be benched :O (stretched basically)
But I got it all sorted for £300 :O (many people say I'm a retard since it's a crap car and stuff, but you know what? Screw them! The only other car it the class that I would swap corsa b for is nova)
But anyways, corsa was away for a week and (I smashed. It on wednesday, ang got it back next wednesday)
Then saturday after I got it back I got the big noisy (cherrybomb muff-diver) which was put into it, since I bought it off ebay for funny £20, it was a bit too big so it had to be put a bit to the side and tonight at the bus depo car park (where a big pile of cars (mostly modified gets together)) I managed to over-rev couple of astra's and vectras ;)
Next thing to exhaust is de-cat and middle section to be gone somewhere :D (maybe in a big box in my basement :P)
Then on sunday I got myself a set of corsasports with tyres for £60 (which aren't in too bad condition)
I happyli drove on them alloys for nearly a week untill 3 of them went flat. They're laying at the back of the house at the moment, abit of isopon'ing and painting has to be done to them, and I'm willing to go for low-profiles, looking for something below 40 mil so I am (but no luck so far) so I'm proudly rocking steelies :P
Got myself a wee de-badged grill like a week and it sits well :P
Recently researched in bumpers on ebay, and found not too bad one (brand new in the shop). It's textured bumper with holes for foglights, so I'm hoping to get gsi fogs put in there and to be a happy boy ;) (but it's not gsi bumper since it has a lot smaller lower grill) the only thing that bothers me about it is that it's I guess older corsa b version bumper and it has the grill built into it :/ i(it's like a bar and then a big round badge in the middle) I hope a bit of cutting and sanding would help me to get rig of it and put in the badgeless grill I have at the moment.
Couple days ago I've bought a wee laguna splitter on ebay which is hopefully somewhere on it's way to mine (but wouldn't be put on untill new bumper)
What else? Coilovers are to come sometime soon was planning to do it this month, but doesn't really work out for me :(
Bought myself some filim to tint the tail lights, but didn't work out for me since the sheets are too small :/
That's it I guess at the moment smurfmobile helps me to pull the bitches and gives me joys of driving it without a bother ;)

Uppa corsa b's
