yeh that looks the tits dropped on the black rims.i love them white wheels though...not sure about 17s on corsas without bodkits tho lol..didnt they rub at all?

i well like the black wheels with the black bumpers...but i was gonna go white eventually,but if i get black wheels it will look well nice against the black bumpers for now :)

cheers for the pics :)

Yeah it scrubbed quite a bit, and they werent nice to drive with!
Thanks! I want to get a post 97 bumper and get a badgeless slatted grill... and keep it as it is at the moment,
but when the funds are available i'd also like to go all white! with a set of the team dynamics 1.2s done in a custom colour...
need a gsi spoiler aswell and fancy some tints!
Oh, did you just get those bulbs off ebay? There only like a tenner! :D
Thats if im looking at the right ones!

yeh im going all white with mine :) but im keeping same bumper,just cutting out the grill and smoothin it before i paint it,and u kno u have the like big gap underneath the front number plate in the bumper(hope u kno what i mean lol)-im gonna cut the plastic bar thing from middle of it and put mesh in there instead,iv never seen anyone do it before and it will b more custom :)

yeh they are really cheap on ebay...and theres loads of em lol..hid/xenon ones ye?

oh..and are u gonna pay to go all white or gonna do it ya self? im doing all mine myself-but might get a another set of bumpers and arches so that i can still use my car while i prep n spray them.

Yeah that sounds pretty cool, my mate did that on a fiesta, but like you say, never seen it on a corsa it'll look pretty good!
Yeah, they're the ones... Get them ordered as soon as poss! Something nice and easy to do but still looks good!
Might smoke the headlights aswell... Not sure about that yet though! Oh and another thing... Ive just changed the bulbs in the clocks and the heater panel to blue leds, that looks really good, matches the colour of the display on my cd player now.
And as for painting, I know a friend that will do it for me cheap so.. paying for it i guess, but still sounds a good idea to buy new bumpers and arches so that the car's roadworthy! :)

Looks pretty good for little work put in...well done. Was the cnetre console all pained white when you got it, thinking of doing mine, but not sure if red will look too OTT.

Oh and get yaself some car seat covers and matts if you wna tidy the interior up a bit, you've got the same seats I had when i got mine, some simple red and black covers from halfords made them look a lot (and i mean a lot) better only about £35. same as matts, bout "20 for 4 mats made the floor look neat!

Keep it up mate!

Instead of paying £35 ish for some seat covers why don't you spend a little bit more between £50-£100 on a complete black interior. Saves waisting money in the long run if your gonna eventually buy a new interior anyway! You can find interiors cheaper than £50 that are good aswell. Just gotta keep looking and asking around.
