Hello, I got my corsa in febuary 2013 I finally decided to do a coupple of bits to it , I can't do a lot to it because I really haven't got the money for it
This is what I have done so far
Lowerd it 60 mm front and back
Painted the poor steel wheels silver
1997 black rear bumper
Cherry bomb tail pipe
And silver dice dust caps .
Inside:
Leather look seat covers
Carbon fiber gear knob.
I'll get on to uploading some pics as soon as possible

Hi,
Did you remove the door bump strips ? , it looks like theres a white paint line up the side.
I was planing to remove mine but dont want too much hassle with paint issues.

forgot to say make sure you research how to do it 1st so that you dont burn the paint work using the toffee wheel.

I'll inspect it closely today and see what it actually is, it seems to be part of the car if that makes sense. It looks like I'll have to re-sprey the car next year at some point all the lacker is peeling and its coverd in scratches from previous ownes. The photoes make the paint look better then it actually is
