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

This is my corsa .. im 19 years old and not passed my test yet but its all booked up .I was looking for a corsa b for my first car.
I done alot of looking and wasnt really botherd about the engine size tho i had my eye on a few 1.4 sports and 1.6 sports because i'd prefer something faster than a 1.2.. then my friend got a redtop ..
and from then on i started looking at c20xe corsa's . i looked about for a few months . wasnt alot for sale in scotland so it took me a wile .. and i didnt want to do the conversion my self because i just dont have the time atm plus im not exactly a car genius

so i met a guy in hamilton . and bought this the next week
I have had it for about 3 and a half weeks .. i got the mot renewed by a freinds dad and i have sprayed these wheels again tho i am looking for slabs or fans just now ..
im planning on putting every penny i have into the car so it should be looking good soon .

Here's a few pics . sorry about the quality the iPhone camera is crap . i have a friend who is a photographer so il get a few better pics soon









more to be done this weekend .. any ideas let me know please

u havnt passed ur test but u own a redtop. u had any insurence quotes yet? they aint gona b cheap

car looks good thou mate

i know most of you's wont agree with this but its still logged on as a 1.2 8v . i want to log it on as a 2.0 but theres no way i can afford it so im going to keep it as a 1.2
its quite scummy and if i was the person that i bumped in to i wouldnt be happy . but hopefully that doest happen

them wheels are nice mate.

thanks mate there only team dynamic wheels .. but sprayed black . i want a set of slabs or anything off a cavvy thats 4 stud lol.. but they are getting rare as hell now so i think i might get a set of banded steelies

cav slabs

cav slabs are nassttyyy like armpits in the heat lol

i wud have to agree dan

so your 19 with a corsa redtop, dnt really agree with that but its upto you, maybe you will regret it if you ever crash (wich may happen with such a fast car and little experience), however on another note it is a nice looking car.

looks nice mate, put a sports grill on it, and a gsi spoiler and will look a million times better, im 17 not passed my test you but if i had the money i would of been passed by now, anyway ive got a white 1.2 8v its in the project logs and its completly standard atm and cheapest i got was 2500 fully comp, so its gna be dear if you had it logged as 2.0 would be better to have it booked as 2.0 though just incase you crash mate

u got closer pics of the wheels? i may be interested if ya selling em

You ether love or hate cav slabs . and I must say I love them
thanks for the link mate il keep my eye on them

I've been driving for a few years and I have drove cars that are just as fast as the corsa so I should be ok, but your right . I will regret it if I ever crash but lets hope it doesn't come to that lol

Cheers, I was looking at putting a spoiler on it but I don't know . I was even offered one for 10 quid haha .. That quote is ridiculous !! im getting quotes of 1200 fully comp lol my mate has a 1.6 16v astra and is paying 2000 for his first year fully comp ..

I wont be selling them till i get a set i like mate . but i will get some pics of them anyway in case i get a set soon

i just had a quote for my corsa redtop running standard 150bhp ish and that was third part fire and theft with adrian flux declaring that it was lowered and non standard exhaust and alloys and that was £1200, and im only 20, which i thought was really good value.
