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

Hello all i am new to this website so still gettin used to it.
I have just bought my second car a Corsa Merit 1.2 1995 and i am gunna fix it up get it looking good and sounding great.
I bought it and it had a stupid flag painted over the back half which i am busy removing and will be gettin the car sprayed not sure what colour yet tho.
I am lookin to put either a gsi body kit or just a set of colour coded bumpers and lower it 40 mm it already has lexus lights in and a few other bits and pieces.
Here is some pics of how it looks at the moment al update it as much as i can.

Here is the front drivers side of the car


Here is the daft flag painted across the back half which is comin off




the flag on the drivers side


the flag on the passenger side


Passenger side gettin sanded down


soon as the flag has gone and ave sanded it down al be gettin it sprayed still not sure what colour either neon blue the same colour as it is orr black what yous think the best colour would be ?.

hi i think it would look nice in blue because you see to many in black lol i like the lights by the way

you should do the base a good shade of blue with white rims that would set it off like.

do it blue but a good shade of blue somthing that has a flip side couler to it.
you could spray it the blue for now then add another shade thrugh it later.
then white rims will set it rite off.

16in rims would be the best comprmise between looks and performance.
but ad go for 15in for the handling.

you should think about gettin a leather interior out of a cav turbo.

all you need to do is cut down the back seat to fit.
and you can wire up the heated seats 2.

air box is a good idea like.
