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

This is my Corsa, only had it a couple of months and I'm already looking to upgrade it somewhat.

It's pretty clean and completely stock at the moment, apart from the Halfords specials hub caps and the lousy aftermarket CD player I am gonna replace.

Basically I want to keep the car looking really clean, but I want to make it so that it looks individual, but really subtle. At the minute I have a pretty short list of things I want to do to it, so any ideas are welcome

New Headunit
Changing the dashboard lights to blue ones
Buying a new Cat (old one is knackered)


I'm thinking of doing something to the interior, maybe adding some richbrook components to keep the stock feel of the car. I'm going to sell it in about a year so I don't want to do anything too drastic.
Like I said, I want to keep the car looking clean, mainly so as I don't get any trouble from the 'old bill', so some kind of fat exhaust pipe is out, but if there's any other way of getting a decent noise from a 1 litre 3 pot please let me know!

theres loads of subtle mods u can do that make a big difference..

ge ta debadged grill.debadge it,take the rubstrips off the sides.smoked side repeaters.maybe some smoked back lights.for interior you could paint some parts the same colour as your exterior.beesting aerial.

and as for getting a better sound..just drill and derestrict your airbox..theres a tutorial on here somewhere.

hope that helps.

Okay, I am going to take the breeze badges off, and there's some aftermarket ones some idiot has plonked on it before I bought it.

Is there any cleaner way of getting a decent noise? Custom Air Filter perhaps? I don't really want to go making holes in things.

At the minute the damn exhaust keeps knocking against the chassis, and the damn cat is knackered

looks a nice lil car m8 . if you dnt want to drill your airbox you can buy upgraded air filter panels, these will set you bk onli bout £40 and i would recomend either k&n or greencotton (whats in mine). as for exterior mods i would start off buy de-badging and getin a debadged grill £20 ebay. but if you have got a bit of mney in your back pocket get a set off alloys 15''or16'' with a off set as close to et49 as you can.

nice little car there as a base, i would personally do the following:

take off any stickers and badges
remove ur front grill and get a debadged one (which i have got one here new if interested)
lower it 40mm or so on some alloys, like ceserios or summink.
take the cat out and get a sportex system or summink:

all that is possibly for about £250-£300.

but its your car and as long as your happy with it thats what matters! !
