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

Right, i got my corsa back in May 2009. I got it quite cheap off my mate from college. Got it completly standard apart from some 6x9s in the parcel shelf.

Here it is when i got it.


First step was to tidy it up abit, Gave it a good clean and polish and put on some new wheel trims.


Then it was time to colour code the bootlock and fit some mudflaps on the rear.



Then i re-sprayed my bumpers and arches as they were horribly faded and looked terrible.





Then lowered it 40mm.



Then it was time for some alloys.



Then i added a fiat punto rear wiper. tidied the back up nicely.


Also added a sport spoiler and painted drums and calipers blue.



Wheels got painted white.



Then in the snow.


After winter i decided to spray my wheels a silvery/grey colour.



Half heartedly stripped out the back to see what it was like.


Then i was after some post 97 bumpers and got a set real cheap and srpayed them at college.







I then got bored one day on my day off from college and had a can off white paint left in the garage so sprayed one of my spare steelies and tried it on the car. All four will be going white as my alloys really need a refurb. Already started on the badges.



So thats where i am at the moment. Plans are to fir my front splitter(in the post atm), Refurb alloys back to white.

Sorry for such a long first post, but enjoy.

Ive dewipered it at the minute, trying to find someone local who can weld over the plate recess and wiper hole and boot lock, once its welded i can do the filler and paint work.

was it easy to dewiper it? and what size of gromit do you use to cover upp the hole?

22mm grommet from halfords i think it was.

I painted my scuttle tray today



Put my wiper back on



got my splitter and sprayed the top of my bumper.
