My Arden Blue..
Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2011 11:32 pm
Hey Corsa-B.co.uk, the main site I use is corsasport.co.uk, but got bored and started looking on other forums to see what good looking cars I could find, but thought I may aswell put a project thread of my own on here...
So i'll start with showing you all how I got my car, and how I changed it to the current day
But before that i'll show you my previous sport I had before the arden, had to sell because I couldn't get insured on it
So when that got sold pretty much standard I bought this;
It's a Club 1999 V Reg, the guy I bought it off made some mods of his own, as follows;
1.2 Engine from a Corsa C SXi (Z12XE)
Corsa GSi brakes
60mm suspension
Smoothed front bumper
After market fog lights
Vectra CDX wheels 15"
Colour coded arches
And then a couple of interior mods.
I then fitted all the parts I had bought intending to put on the sport..
Carbon bonnet
Smoked DEPOs
Carbon door cards
Corsa C SRi wheels in Anthracite
Black spoiler
Sportex 3" outward rolled back box
I then had the misfortune of my first car crash, ruining my Carbon bonnet, front bumper, my DEPOs and my slam/landing panel..
So me and my dad got to work quick, and put my GSi front bumper on as a replacement..
I then got my GSi body kit resprayed in Arden Blue, then fitted it;
Shortly after I got tired of my SRi wheels rubbing on the rear arches, so got some Cavalier Cesaros, sprayed in dark grey with a polished lip.
Next was the slam panel change, was like brand new..
And then came another set of new wheels, Cavalier GSi wheels in white.
Then in the week the wheels were being refurbed, I fitted my new rear lights, and -80mm rear springs (not settled in this pic, sits lower now)
My smoked DEPOs then come through the post, and slabs were back from refurb and fitted back on; Springs basically settled here..
So, that's how it sits today, I'll keep you updated people.. Next will be the DEPOs fitted. If weather permits that will be tomorrow.
Thanks for reading, Sean!
