Hey all  im new so first of hi, i have just been given a 1.2 corsa 5 door for free and its in great condition and no problems with it.  but its a 5 door.. and to be honest i've never seen a done up 5 door corsa, so can it be done? and can someone give me some pictures of any 5 doors modified so i can get an idea please? thanks in advance.

welcome  yes you can mod a 5door corsa. although it'll probably end up looking terrible. check out Tim's garage, 5doormodder and thom's (iirc). IMO i would go subtle styling

yeh i know what you mean, about subtle styling and totally agree, not into the OTT stuff myself. since it has just standard bumpers, was thinking of perhaps puttin some standard body coloured bumpers on it? any idea where i can get corsa B body coloured bumpers and for how much? thanks

is it worth trying to spray them myself? never sprayed anything on the car before, scared i'd cock it up. isn't there a cheaper way? like buying replacement colour coded bumpers?
thanks.

iirc they dont sell them colour coded you have to actually get a bodyshop to do them for you.... spray them yourself and it wont get baked on or be the correct hard wearing primer .etc + the colour will be a poor match... dont cheap out at the start cos you'll regret it later
just save up and shop around, quite a few people on here knwo places to have it done so go to your regional area and ask in there mate... dunno if ure near them but STBodyworx (usually an ad in top right) do some quality work if u can get to them
