Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Hi this is my corsa i just bought its a 1.2 sxi 16v 99 reg its my first car and im lookin for cheap mods i can do to it... i avent done much to it yet a part from cleaning it a puttin a laguna splitter on it. the spec so far is:
offical corsa sport alloys.
corsa sport mudflaps.
gsi spolier.
and thats all so far im looking for other ideas to suit up my corsa and ideas for exhausts like the"sportex" if any of you guys can help and im not in to big body kits or bad boy bonnets so guys tell me what do u tink of my corsa and what i can do to it ?

the corsa sport alloys ar in very good con wit all centre caps sould i keep em or get other alloys and if so what 1s?


laguna splitter i just fitted i no it needs a paint but whay do u guys tink?

looks tidy, just lower it, depo headlights, debadged grill maybe, and definetly take the design stickers of the doors and the boot, and take the 1.2 badge off but leave the vauxhall corsa badge on, get some clear side repeater badges, take your rear wiper off and get a rubber bung to go in the hole for about £1 from halfords, and that'd be about it, you'd be 'scene' then, then keep your eye out for some cesaros alloys, or cavalier slabs, or cavalier fan blades, or astra fan blades, as all these are vauxhall make alloys, and are the right offset to fit inside your arches so when you lower it they wont scrub. if you do get some different alloys make sure you fit 195 45 15 tyres on, as any larger profile than 45 and the it just looks completely wrong.

but apart from that dude your car looks awesome cant beat seeing a standard straight and tidy condition corsa and no-one is into bodykits thesedays so no worries about that, everything thesedays is about keeping EVERYTHING vauxhall but making it look really clean and sleek.

Hey PRICER thanxs for the reply man but how mch do u tink i should lower it 60 r 40mm ?

its all down to how low you want to go, if you want to go 40, you can do that by just replacing springs. but if you want to go 60, you can just replace the springs but you might find that its too soft on standard shocks and you'l hit the bump stops alot of the time, so i'd say 40 is ok with standard shocks, and with 60 you need new stiffened / shorter shocks aswell.

I went and took of the sxi badge on the back very gently and didnt some laqure peel off with it ar they any quick fix solution

tidy little motor you got there mate, I would lower it... drop it on its bum! lol they look so much better with no gaps inbetween them arches and wheels, maybe some alloys? in my opinion softstars or cesaros would make it look sweeet but if softstars make sure you get 16's as they look lots better than the smaller size.. If u want to go for cheap mods to mess with, maybe a debadged grill? Tigra scuttle panel? Some smoked headlights? Little bits and bobs you can do to it for less to nothing but for big mods, they gonna cost ya , keep us updated! ;D

take a photo of your laquer peal on the back first mate for us to see the problem.

Heres a closer pic as u can c its deep but can i still spray over it or must it be sanded down help!!!!

it MUST be sanded, you can do it with semi rough first but make sure before you put paint on you have sanded it smooth with 800,

so maybe start with 500 or 400, then with 800

I took da rear wiper off ME CORSA today i used a 24mm rubber grommet (got it in halfords) and it makes a very tight seal wat do ye tink?
