The other half purchased a V reg corsa sport with 70k on the clock a few weeks ago, so i thought it would be a good idea to make it my little side project 
First think we did was clean it up a little. Obviasly with buying a corsa b these days there were a few bodge jobs that had been done to it that were ironing out aventually.
Next up was sorting out the ride height a little, so i went digging in the garage and sourced out my spax rsx coilovers that i had for my A reg nova project. They had been sitting in the garage for nearly 2 years so i though i would put them to good use. Still need to fiddle with them to get the heights right but that will come in good time.
We also replaced the orange side repeaters with slightly tinted ones, A great improvment over the standerd ones
so i thought i would get pics today of the sport as it stands at the moment, general plans include keep it clean and not over the top, the way every corsa should be imo 
comments always welcome :

Spax coilovers mate. The rear is not that low maybe 40mm? front is about 60mm ish i would say. I could lower the front another 2 inches easy but that would reall be impractical as its proving difficult that low on 14's already.
Shep : i reconise the name also and noticed you are not to far from me so there is a good chance that you would have maybe intrested in a car i was selling Im sure your were also on other forums like HC and MIG? iirc you were selling a black corsa B a while back?

The nova is still in storage ready to paint, dont have the space for it anymore cup is in the garage and dont want to leave it outside.
Aye the front sits great need to fiddle with the back, its in ok condition but the bonnet is scabby as hell, keep an ear out for me just ordered 8k hids and a badgless front grill for it too, bloody corsas

Yeah it turned out that the old nova was solid enough. In the end it just blew up so i stripped it as it kept getting broken into
A wee update tho:
Since im off work i have nothing better to do so ive been cleaning and ordering parts from vauxhall. Ordered new engine cover bolts, front and back hard plastic mudflaps with the logo, standerd jobs work a treat on the corsa b's imo. They will be ready for collection on wed
