right then, get ready for a long post.
with pvs this summer im wanting to go for the first time cos ill have passed my test.
im wanting to go in a decent car cos mines not in the best of conditions at the mo.
ive seen some decent pics of a corsa that i want mine to look like over at corsagsi.co.uk.
the thing is, im only a student and only work part time so im gonna be struggling for money so what do you think i should do first.
i need it spraying cos the paint has chips in it and stuff. and i havent done a great job of colour coding my bumpers.
ill give you a list of whats done to it first of all.

engine
a crappy 1.0litre thats on its last legs
pipercross induction kit
peco 3" exhaust
thats it really for the engine.

styling
gsi front bumper and skirts
smoothed standard back bumper
alloys that i powder coated graphite grey(looks good)
and thats it.
needs a lot more doing
(my paints satin red by the way)

what i want to do but dont know what order to do them in.

styling
standard gsi spoiler
black lexus front and rear lights
tints
defo needs a full respray.

mechanical
new exhaust(full system and get rid of middle box)
WANT IT LOUD!!!
new induction kit
thinkin k&n apollo(meant to be loud according to total vauxhall)
lowering 60mm
and the daddy of engines, a c20let
but with me only been 17 it will be hell to insure.

how much do u think this stuff will cost to get done.
i dont care if im broke for a while as long as i have a decent looking car and can make it to pvs

im guessing its gonna be a couple of grand(and the rest probrably)

if someone can tell me how to post pictures ill show u what it looks like now.

if youve made it to the end of this post thanks a lot for reading.

cheers
