1.4 Sri project

[Krazy]

Hi guys, been meaning to keep posting up but not having time i kinda struggle lol,
anyway havnt got any pics of it when it was standard but here goes,

heres some details of whats been done and some pics,
Modifications From Standard:
Side Skirts Flushed In
F50 bonnet Eyebrowed (FIBRE GLASS)
Flushed Scutter Panel with Single Wiper Conversion
Full gas Shocks with lowering springs 40mm Drop (SPAX)
Combat rear Spoiler
17" 5 spoke wolfrace Alloys
Drilled and Vented front Discs
Straight Threw Sportex Exhaust 4" Tail (with Cat)
M3 Mirrors
Lexus Rear Lights
Caravan Blocks in springs to stop the bounce
Rear Limo Tints
K and N





I then decided to scrap the standard spoiler and go big,
going big as i am different from everyone else its one of those things each to there own.



A few more weeks down the line i finally getting round to the arches.
as you will see i decided NOT to put the front combat arches on due to it wouldnt sit fluch with the front bumper.
so instead of arches i decided to fluch the front arches in, NO where near done yet but all in good time.



So after kinda rubbing the front down i decided to get the back on, i have used rear combat arches and all will be flushed in,
had to do some modifications to get them fitting but i think there coming on fine,




All body kit now fitted and fibreglassed i just gotta smooth in with some p38







Having done all what i have im just stuck on colour LOL......
not sure wether to go back to red, black or matt, any idea's? chuck em my way if you dont mind
maybe if anyone good with photoshop if they dont mind chopping the colours for me? so i can see what
looks better etc etc..

any comments welcome even bad ones. JUST REMEMBER its each to there own taste.
and in my book BIG IS BETTER hehehehe

[Spicy-McHaggis]

Candy red or cherry red would look amazing! make a couple photoshops and have a look

[M4RSH4LL]

stick with a vauxhall colour like these...





or purple be different

[Big C]

i reckon it'll look awesome white cuz the bonnet and front bumper are pretty white at min and the look pretty beast

oh and then get some depo head lights and smoked rear lights and black alloys and it will be lush

[Krazy]

well for the rear lights ill be tinting these, as i could use standard lights but they just dont symbolise like these,
wheels will be going black i rekon, im actually liking the VXR Power red, although not sure yet.,...

[JG22-VXR]

i love the VXR red, that would look mint. also sellin my alloys if interested? they 17'S team dynamics only had them new in november!

[kempy]

Sorry mate but can't believe you have done this to an SRi. Completely ruined a classic car.

each to their own i suppose but ive seen worse! maybe he just wants it as a show car in near future maybe he dont like standard factory looks¬!

[Krazy]

great an oppinion ill say to you as i would anyone else,
its one of them things we all go threw in life if everthing was the same and each and everyone was the same,
the world would be so boring. so why not have/be different?..
I love the negative comments but what everyone should think before making them is ermmm

eg: i bet your car isnt stock?... probably dropped,cav slabs (cavalier wheels*NOT Standard corsa*),depo's,tints etc etc
but again thats your choice to do that, its like if someone says go jump of a bridge?
your not highly gonna make that decision you may think about it, and then think ahh ill live my life you live yours.
so its the same with cars really you have your taste i have mine and i bet im not the only one

its like, i was a punto gt turbo enthusiast and everyone one kept with standard or arbarth,
and then i actually sat back and looked at some of the kits that were out there, they could of made worse but hey

the corsa came to me with the kit so rather it sat doing nothing i would attach it.
its like if i goto a meet and meet half of you guys, you'll know its me, and then eg: you have dick and dom in a LREG both blue.
it'll be like so ermm who's who untill u get outta the car..

so ye i do agree with one thing that everyone will agree to. Each to there own.
So thanks for the comment atleast i could get this out

"any comments welcome even bad ones" - YOU wrote this.

You posted your car on a national forum, you should expect a few negative comments. In my opinion it is hideous but, that is my opinion. If you had done it to a Merit or something then fair enough but why an SRi? And you didn't have to stick the kit on just because it came with it. Would you jump under a bus just because it happened to be driving by? No, because that would be silly... My car has nothing you mentioned other than being dropped and for the record I can't stand Slabs. Remember, this was my opinion and yeah we all have different tastes and for me this car is just terrible. Take the critiscm for what it was - an opinion on a car that you asked for opinions on.

[matty101]

calm down guys.

the way i look at it is i would rather see an sri or a gsi kitted up and looked after etc. rather than sat it a ditch or a scapyard or rotting away somewhere.

whats important to remeber is that its a car, 4 wheels a few doors and bit glass. yes i know sri's are getting rare (4000 left i think......) but at the end of the day it was giving to him in a right state and atleast he's not just letting it go to waste.

think back a few years every modified car had a big kit on it like this. no one complained then.

if you wana rant at someone go rant at all the pricks that are breaking corsa gsi's (less than 1000 left )

[Krazy]

@ kempy, Totally understand, i merly wanted to point out that i can take critism's and you do have your own oppinion,
i mainly replied the way i did to actually let the people know that sit back and dont wanna post up about there cars,
because of some type of mods people dont like, and that critism actually can help you find your next mod

i mean i didnt even know about depo's untill someone stated about them so i checked up on them,
and im kinda liking them
i come from a punto gt enthusist group so i know what you mean to different taste's..
your critism is on board and i thank you for posting..

@ matty101, We are calm just difference of oppinions
and i agree with you, i mean i could of left this as the front was slightly twisted but it was
jigged back to normal and had a new slam panel, even if i were gonna Buy a kit for eg: i wouldnt waste $$ for a merit
i would rather it go with an engine that can be happily modified and thats still worth its $$

@ all its nice to have a motor that defines you as a character what ever you may like just enjoy what you drive its

[Krazy]

well done more fibre glassing and p38'in lol no pics as of yet, due to i wanna finish the filler before showing.
but sitting here tonight and actually reading threw the forums i came to a decision i need to pick me colour
preatty quick as ill be 2packing it so its a nice solid paint. but the issue is this.,
what colour? there are so many nice colours on vauxhalls i was tempted for vxr power red BUT the only thing
with that is whats the price gonna be since its a new colour lol..
