Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Gunna try n make a list for those of you who dont want to spend, but still want the car lookin nice,
Make sure u all contribute
A few things that work...
Lowering... heat your original springs and then squash, making sure you temper them afterwards(dip em in cold water)
or be a retard n cut em
Exterior...
Faded Arches... Get your heat gun and heat up your arches, or u cud try a hairdryer
De-Badge it... Heat gun over the badges then pull off, same with left over glue
Bumper... Take black plastic out n mesh it, then add fog lights it u want...

thats it for me, up to u all to add more

When i had my last corsa, i bought it in reasonable condition and it had been looked after so only needed a bit of tlc.

Sometimes, a mint condition car in original condition can be better than adding unecessary mods as people appreciate it more.

To me £20.00 in halfrauds on Autoglym etc and a weekend of polishing and detailing can make the world of difference.

Also, a few for you:

If heat gunning the arches doesnt work, or if they are too far gone, go to the local scrappy and get four, all bout 2-3 quid each, but make sure you get some in good nick.

i got a silver bee-sting aerial in pounland looks nice..and i expect its the cheapest thing il buy for my car

ebay is always a good place for cheap mods...or if u know anyone with corsas..see if they have any old bits..coz alot of people upgrade stuff on there cars when theres nothing wrong with what they had before...so they often have decents wheels,lights etc just lying around.

Yeha definitely ask mates who have modded corsa's. i got loadsa mates with done up corsa's an everything on my car atm is bought off a mate at bargain price. There isnt a mod on my car atm that has cost me more than 20quid. Also to do debadging my other half used boiling hot water and a fishing line. It worked a treat
