This is my: Silver 2000plate Vreg 1.0 12v GLS Corsa.

When i originally bought this car TOTALLY STANDARD over 18months ago the intention was only
to keep the car for a small time because tbh i hate Silver cars (not the best colour) and it was only a 1.0 12v.

In the space of 18months i have been toying with the idea of selling it but always manage to modify it along the way. But to be honest..... Its Bloody Reliable!!!!!!!

Starts every single time and if you want to go somewhere it will get you there with no shadow of a doubt.
Its let me down once in 18months and that was a faulty spark plug!!!!

THE REASON FOR THE THRED IS THAT FOR THE TIME BEING IM GOING TO KEEP MY LITTLE CORSA AS ITS SO RELIABLE GOOD ON FUEL AND IF I WANT A FAST DEATH TRAP IN A FEW MORE YEARS MY INSURANCE SHOULDNT BE TOO BAD. SO IN THE MEAN TIME THIS LITTLE CORSA IS GOING TO GET SOME TLC. Colour scheme silver/red!


Corsa with angel eyes and de-badge grill

agree with above comment... rear lights are horrid i hate lexarse lights but your choice tbh :)

wheels r nice but suprised they dont scrub like a bitch... spesh lowered... boot would look better without number plate mate,
but that in my opinion, its a nice motor tho :)

Cheers for the comments.

Really! rear lights? i think smoked lexus lights are nice and go with the tints and wheels. I hate normal lexus lights as my girlfriend has them :lol:
The number plate, granted would look far better to the side on the bumper near the exhaust but then you have to fanny about with fitting a new
light in for it to be visible at night.

Cheers again for looking! :D

Looks good mate! Not too keen on the red interior though but it's your car and if you like it that's all that matters :) haha
