this is my car 1.2 16v, when i got it the paint was dull and had steelies on it.

jobs done so far:

i have put trims on until i find some decent alloys
i have tinted windows front and back
polished it and washed it loads
new cd player
cherry bomb back box
taken center box out
and decatted it
angel eyes
de-badged on back
de-wipered

things im going to do:

put some nice black alloys on
lower it by around 60mm all round
matt black bumpers (as they have faded and back to black doesnt seem to work)
and maybe in near future redtop it :) hopefully lol.

they just look different to a corsa one, because they lift up around the wiper arms as such... bit hard to explain, best to google image it, then you'l notice the difference between that and a normal corsa one.

you need some different wheels on this btw, they look lost in those arches... but still stick to the black alloys tho, and it needs slamming 8)
