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

Alreet guys, i got my car about a year and a half ago now and it started off without any mods at all, no speakers, no headunit, basically standard model!





Really they are the earliest pics i have of her, i wrote a list about a year ago of what i wanted to do to the car, which was on blogger "matlockmotorsport" or something, anyway i tried to get thru the list but didnt have enough cash. This is what i had wrote down:

Still to be added...

* Alloy Wheels (not sure which ones yet)
* Alpine Amplifier
* Apply Racing Decals
* Black Lexus Lights
* Boot Build Frame
* Fit Both Exhaust Trims
* FLI Sub Woofer (maybe two?)
* Front and Rear Vauxhall Logos (Red) and Trim (don't know which one yet)
* Front Grill (mesh preferrably)
* Gear Knob
* Interior Carpeting
* Leather Seats
* Personalised Numberplate (N22 ATE )
* Red Brake Callipers
* Sparco Handbrake
* Sparco Pedal Covers
* Spoiler
* Sports Mirrors
* Sunroof Deflector
* Tax Disc Holders
* Tinted Windows (getting done tomorrow )
* White Leather Gaiters
* Wind Deflectors
* Xenon Interior Light

IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE VERY MUCH WELCOMED. THANK YOU GUYS!

I'LL START WITH THE ICE;
ORIGINALLY THE CAR HAD THE HEADUNIT RIPPED OUT AND ONE WORKING DOORCARD SPEAKER SO I HAD TO USE MY MOBILES MP3 PLAYER....
MUCH HAS CHANGED!!

I BOUGHT A STANDARD SONY XPLOD UNIT AND SOME MOS 6X9 SPEAKERS FOR THE TIME BEING, NOW I HAVE A 10,000 WATT MARQUANT AMP, 2 JBL 12" SUB WOOFERS, A SET OF ALPINE TYPE E 6X9S AND SAME DOORCARD SPEAKERS AND AN ALPINE X100-iDA HEADUNIT, THAT SET UP ALONE HAS PROBABLY DOUBLED THE VALUE OF MY CAR!!

HERES SOME PICS OF THE BITS AND PIECES:







I THOUGHT AS MOST OF MY SYSTEM WAS ALPINE, I'D HAVE SOME DECALS ON THE REAR WINDOW!

I HAVENT DONE TO MUCH TO THE CAR EXTERIOR, JUST THE BLACK LEXUS LIGHTS ON THE REAR,
THE M3 MIRRORS AND THE SLATTED GRILL AT THE FRONT JUST PURELY TO GIVE THE CAR A MORE SPORTY LOOK.



THE FILLER HAS NOW BEEN SPRAYED BLACK TO MATCH THE REST OF THE BUMPER, YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE BELOW.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE ABOVE PICTURES, I DEBADGED THE "VEGAS" TRIM, WHICH LOOKS LOADS BETTER.
I THOUGHT I'D KEEP THE VAUXHALL AND 1.4L ON THE REAR SO PEOPLE DONT THINK ITS A 1 LITRE!!
I TOUCHED UP THE LETTERING WITH A METALLIC SILVER PEN AFTER I T-CUTTED THEM UNTIL THEY WENT BLACK.

RIGHT THEN, INTERIOR:

OBVIOUSLY I HAVE MY BOOT BUILD COMPLETE, MY PLANS FOR THE INTERIOR WAS TO SPRAY SOME COMPONENTS WHITE, INSTALL UV LIGHTING IN THE FOOTWELLS (IVE GOT THEM, JUST NEED FITTING), THE DOOR CARDS I MAY RETRIM, LEATHER CALIBRA SEATS OR COVERS OR WHATEVER I CAN AFFORD, I FITTED A CIGARETTE LIGHTER TOO, BUT IT RESTRICTED HOW LOUD I COULD HAVE MY HEAD UNIT SET TO, SO I DISCONNECTED IT.





YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE MY SPARCO HARNESS PADS ON THE SECOND PIC!!

TIME TO AMEND MY LIST, WAS ORIGINALLY THIS:


* Alloy Wheels (not sure which ones yet) FOX FX2'S WITH TYRES 15" (NOT YET)
* Alpine Amplifier MARQUANT 10,000W 6 CHANNEL AMP
* Apply Racing Decals ALPINE REAR WINDOW AND QUIKSILVER REAR WINDOWS
* Black Lexus Lights BLACK LEXUS LIGHTS
* Boot Build Frame 2 OLD SUB BOXES AND CARPETING, LOOKS SWEEEEET!!
* Fit Both Exhaust Trims WANT SPORT EXHAUST
* FLI Sub Woofer (maybe two?) 2 JBL'S INSTEAD
* Front and Rear Vauxhall Logos (Red) and Trim (don't know which one yet) STILL NEED REAR VAUXHALL BADGE, PREFERABLY NEW STYLE
* Front Grill (mesh preferrably) BLACK SLATTED FRONT GRILL
* Gear Knob NO
* Interior Carpeting NO
* Leather Seats CALIBRAS HOPEFULLY
* Personalised Numberplate (N22 ATE ) N22ATE SOLD!! N60ATE NEXT THEN
* Red Brake Callipers NEED ALLOYS FIRST
* Sparco Handbrake NO
* Sparco Pedal Covers NO
* Spoiler NO
* Sports Mirrors M3 STYLE BLACK
* Sunroof Deflector NO
* Tax Disc Holders NO
* Tinted Windows (getting done tomorrow ) LOOKED SH*T SO IM GOING TO HAVE THEM DONE PROPERLY
* White Leather Gaiters MAYBE...STILL A POSSIBILITY
* Wind Deflectors NO
* Xenon Interior Light TRYING TO FIND AN UV ONE TO MATCH MY FOOTWELL LIGHTS

NOW THE ADDITIONS:

ANGEL EYES
DOOR CARD RETRIM
RESPRAY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CARD
FIT NEONS
DETAIL REAR LIGHTS AND FRONT GRILL

CAN'T WAIT TIL I MANAGE TO GET IT ALL DONE!!

nice.the way u have sprayed the bottom of the doorcards is same as im doing mine.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA! IVE NOT SEEN IT ON MANY OTHER CORSA'S.
YOUR CARS COMING ALONG NICE MATE, YOU COLOUR CODED YOUR BUMPERS YET?

no done it yet,u gonna do ur centre console n stuff as well?

I THINK I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET SOME WHITE LEATHER GAITERS TO SET THE CONSOLE OFF, RATHER THAN SPRAY THE WHOLE THING!

BOUGHT MY WHITE LEATHER GAITERS TODAY!!!

Woww!! Someones got Caps Lock on!

Looks like a nice starting point, that. Glad you got your leather gaiters

CHEERS MATE, IVE ONLY REALLY DONE SMALL MODS, WILL PROBABLY GET ROUND TO THE BIGGER STUFF LATER ON!
OH....AND I LIKE USING CAPS LOL

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THEY ARE TO FIT?
