Hey so some of you may recall I was on here beginning of the year sayi g I'm going to do engine swap ect. Well long story short this year has been poo me and my donor car has gone walk abouts. Finally got back into the seat of my corsa and remembered how much of a boat she feels round corners which got me in the mood to mod

I brought colour coded bumpers (still gloss black) and a corsa sport spoiler and various others off eBay for £40. Fitted bumpers and priming and spraying spoiler black today.

I'm also buying coilovers on monday to slam it down. Pics will be uploaded of work done so far and of it scraping its arse on the floor.

Also buying random stickers today for the window and upload that too.

Pics follow shortly.

Cheers Ryan, I'm getting the kit off eBay with front and rear springs and shocks. Ordered like £30 of stickers lol and now sanding back the paint that reacted on the spoiler :( proppa gutted the primer went on brilliant but for some mad reason the acrylic paint reacted bad. But I suppose this is part of the fun
