Well this is my corsa ...as it stands now..But I bought it 100% standard 2 years ago ...a superb little car.... I originally made the mistake of putting Lexus lights on it and colour coding all my interior blue n putting a peco twin upswept DTM rear can on nd that ..but learnt .. that less is more ... K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid) well.. At the moment it's fitted with ....a k&n 57i induction kit, Kent sports injector cam , venire pulley's, sportex exhaust manifold ,de-cat ,race pipe and 3" tail box ..Also has been dropped 40mm all around on spax springs..... I originally fitted some TSW apex-r wheels (good, but not Vauxhall) but changed em for a set of cav slabs ......also i fitted a post 97 front bumper and colour coded it .......I put a peco back box on but changed that for a full sportex system (as above) ..Added a flush tailgate....my plans are to get all new bumpers and arches and just have the bottom bit colour coded and keep the trim and arches black and slam it on its arse .. gna get the cav wheels re-furbed in either white or black ?..... opions welcome on that .....er .. btw i still have the tsw's , corsa b sri wheels, and a dtm back box if anyone is interested ?!!!! feel free to view these pics !!!! :) oh and the extremely bad bit on the back bumper is where I used to have a DTM upswept exhaust on it and I had to cut it to fit properly, but now in its absence is a bloody great hole lol……so getting new back bumper he he !!!!!
p.s ..I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HATE THE 5 DOORS ..BUT I THINK ITS EACH TO THEIR OWN SO ..EASY ON THE 5 DOOR SLAGGING LOL J

I then made the interior standard again ...and gave iut a badgeless grille and new wheels (gna re-furb)

i prefer the old wheels though,and also i think when u had the chrome mesh in it lookd amazin-nicest grill setup iv seen on a corsa yet.just looks propa nice on silver car. back end is nice as well,maybe look better with all the windows tinted,and smooth the rear handles?

very good tho mate.

looks good, some lower profile tyres on the cav slabs, spray them either white, black with a red lip/black with a green lip, or anthracite grey. boot looks good but imo i woyuld have smothed the wiper off too, would look good with black angel eyes or black morrettes, smoked mk4 astra side repeaters and some smoked rear lights, interior isnt to my taste but each to their own.

Err .. the rear lights are already smoked,the rear wiper is still on there (practicality really ) ...and my interior has changed now ..back to standard apart from the OMP wheel .......the Low profiles will come when i get my wheels re-furbed..and they tray thing was 100% my idea and original ...it looked f**k brilliant ..im thinking about doing it again in my shelf now but standard colour ......!!!!!!
