Ok, got the car quite cheaply.. ok for nothing! It was an MOT failure, it failed on the sill (corroded) which has been welded, The drivers side front and back suspension was snapped (Replaced with lowering springs 40mm) The washer jets didn't work (easily sorted). and it only cost me £20 to have it delivered!
Here it is when i first got it,
Here it is next to my first ever corsa,
Now, a lot of people will like the next photo, a lotta people wont opinions vary.
-Jap style bodykit
-15" Unisport Alloys
Not yet lowered in this photo.
Alloys Fitted:
More pics coming soon people

hey mate, it is a full bodykit, front & rear bumpers, side skirts and wider wheel arches. i have no plans for a new exhaust but was thinking of getting one of those tips that go on the end and it currently has a sri spoiler on it but as of tomorrow it will have a furious 2 spoiler. It is a Corsa b 1.4 SRI so interior is good. I'm also thinking of smoked back lights but what do you think? Cheers for the comment
will post more pics up soon peeps

Ok, went out today and took some more photos how it stands.
Lowered 40mm:
Started to colour code some of the interior:
..
Decided just to buy an exhaust tip for now, i do have a jap style back box and 6" big bore but not at this moment!:
A few more pics:
To be debadged:
Wheel arches and side skirts to go on:
Dunno whether to glue this on?
Needs a good clean, can see some polish from last time i never wiped off, some fading and rest of bodykit fitting properly (Screwed on with screws TEMPORARILY). Maybe dewiper it, smoked lights, angel eyes.. What do you think?

Right i think if you change the spoiler and put your 6 foot wide exhaust on or whatever it is you will RUIN a very good car i think if you are putting wide arch body kit on you should maybe get wheel spacers
Also get them badges off and personally i think it would make such a difference to the back end if you smoothed the boot i would also color code everything door handles the black bits that are still on the mirrors scuttle pannel everything
but then it would look quite nice i like the body kit and thats unusual for corsa's

Hiya mate, im not putting the exhaust on, im just putting the tip on which is on the photos above. I am getting round to colour coding it and debadging is next on my list. Not sure if i could manage to smooth it but i'm going to look out for one already done that i can buy. Cheers for your comment mate.. I will upload more pics soon of what ive done.

Ok mate, got it outta the garage today after swapping back boot from my old corsa (better cond & had no spoiler on so was easier) then i put rear shocks back on, fitted the spoiler i just bought then brought it out to take pics.. Here it is as it stands
(Phone pic below)
I then couldn't resist taking a little sneak hear of what my exhaust may sound like as i got a new exhaust today (new to me) its about 2.5" reasonable shape and sounds ok,not too loud and doesn't look like a dustbin.
you might lol at the next pic
and this one..
Obv it was blowing as it wasn't sealed but i shall be fitting it tomorrow and i don't know what else is on my list as of yet..

Wow this car should come with a parental advisory notice, its the corsa from hell lol, scary poo! Not to my taste in the slightest though im afraid, but whats with the mesh on the front bumper? Needs tidying that, will make a big difference to the general presentation of Lucifers hatchback
