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

Ok so here's the story I bought this in January as a cheap run around picked it up for £250....needed new alternator and battery and developed a rattle on the back no idea what it is..hated it with a passion! not a French car fan at all so got offered a swap for a astra bertone coupe:




So to business... Here's my 1.8 bertone coupe, took collection on it tonight and I'm well happy it's what I wanted from the start...so here she is















102k on the clock with the ronin belt done at 98k. Has tax until april mot until october half black leather blue interior turbo alloys, rear spoiler and a coupe sign high level break light. Got a back box on it but not sure what one, has HID's but one bulb is blown so needs a new one .

Last owner spent 500 pound on it in the last 2 weeks because all 4 brake calibers seized on the car they cost hi 45 pound each to replace, also hand brake cable needed changing and the car needed bleeding so all is well now. only thing he hadn't had checked out is the steering wheel said it's going abit stiff but I can't really feel it, needs the tracking done though.

Only plans I have is a gsi front bumper, lower it and angel eyes .

Looks awesome mate always like the astra coupe, had a run in the turbo model and it was just immense:)

The only thing I'd change bar lows and gsi bumper is original rear lights, they come tinted and just look cool imo

This model astra can look amazing! Such a good swap! Glad you got rid of the megane mate a much better buy here!

Yeah hated that megane. I've got the original lights in the boot

Glad u got rid ov the French crap they are nothing but problem after problem cars

Yeah tell me about it . I hate French cars with a passion!. Back to vaux

Hahaha let them stick to cakes mate than cars lmao

Well not a happy chap just did this to the passenger front wheel this afternoon :@. my mrs mate was parked rite on the edge of my drive way, squeezed past her parents Mercedes and scraped my wheel...not impressed :@

Few more pics:

Good reason to paint them gloss now:P

Car does look awesome

Looks like they've been touched in before by someone, they've been curbed before only noticed it after I did it earlier but yeah need to find someone to paint then now, our guy in work charges £45 a wheel...

And can't decide weather to lower it on springs on coilovers, the springs are 60 on front and 40 on back

Isnt 45 a wheel crazy? I got quoted 25 for refurb and powder coating white per weel

Needs lowering badly lol. I'd go for shocks n springs. You can get a good setup for the price of cheap coilys, the ride will be loads better!

And put standard lights on lol

Yeah looking at springs on eBay going for about £60 new, but may as well get the shocks done to . Just don't want the same problems I had with my corsa with the camber and constant blow outs and all that bollocks.

Yeah will definately be worthwhile getting the full kit! I'm gonna get springs & shocks for my B, probably best to change drop links n stuff too!
