Newbie here.

So guys, I'm new to this forum since I've bought a corsa 1.2 sxi due to insurance at the moment it's got 81,224 miles on the clock, 12 months MOT and tax has just been renewed too and I only paid £490 for it!
any help with what to start on etc would be nice, already picked out what exhaust and lowering springs I want, I'd love coilovers but don't want silly lows since I work on a cobbled street with potholes and it's just not flat etc..
here's the car anyway
will get more pics along the way for you all!

Thats the punto wiper.
Gloss black trim is nice thats my plan too
A tigra scuttle looks cleaner that corsa one.

Punto wiper looks a lot better then, gloss black trim is probably the best way to go really
and I'll have a look at them.

Some of the best parts can be the cheapest in a scrapyard

Looks tidy
de badging is always an easy cost less way to start things off

As above, debadge will be done too, alloys after the springs and a bit of interior work, changing the seats to something with buckets or recliner and a deep dish steering wheel probably, suede roof lining and see what happens from there really
