Hiya corsa lovers i have just bought a corsa gls and i thought i would start a thread of what i am going to do with it :).
bought the car about 2 weeks ago and not even drove it properly yet due to sorting out insurance/tax on it, i am uploading a few pics for now which are from my phone but will be uploading some more tomorrow for you then just keep putting photos on for the little bits of mods that i will be doing.

hiya mate well what i have got planned is just a few little mods really, what am going to do is put an exhaust on which i have bought just need to fit, lower it 35mm i have bought the springs just waiting for them to arrive so i can fit them :) maybe get a k+n panel filter and of course some 15" alloys which in time in will power coat them black.
didnt manage to get pics today even tho i finished buffing the corsa because work was busy today so will take them in the daylight tomorrow and upload them.

doest look to bad does it, it has got just a bit of rust on the passanger door and a bit on the boot as you can see from the pics, tomorow my new cambelt is being fitted and my exhaust :), thought i would fit a new cambelt because its on 78,000 and just piece of mind.
Erm hopefully thursday i will be fitting my alloys i will take a few pics to see what you corsa lovers think :).
And getting my 35mm springs fitted on saturday so yeh :) just need time to hurry up now lol.

Yeaaa m8 looking good, so urs is a 96-97 model, like that you taken off the plastic bump strips from the doors, was gonna do that to mine but was told it might have holes underneath it attaching to my doors so have taken the safe than sorry route and not bothered, mines a 99-00 model, also nice to see what mine could look like if i lowered mine as well, can't wait to see what's next on your list:thumbs:

Ite mate yeh it's a 96 :) it really is in good nick to say it's a p reg :) and I would advise that you take the plastic strips Off the side it's just a bit of ball ache taking the glue off afterwards, took me half hour to do one side lol but it was worth it :).
All I am planning to do now is get a air filter, exhaust and spray my alloys Black then I am a happy man.
Thanks for the comments guys, it's nice to see that my Corsa is looking good to other ppl :).
