Rite kids, i thought that i would get involved properly now that im a preem . My car started out as a standard 1.2 16v sxi and this is still my first car. Fraid i dont have any standard pics as i never had a camera when i was 18, but you all know what a standard car looks like

First off was a sound system, being 18 and nieve and trying to impress the girls at college


After fitting it all i decieded custom door pods were the way forward after seeing them on Fears car.


Painting interior parts was the next move. I think they break up the dullness that is a corsa interior, but i know that its not everyones cup-o-tea.


17's then went on, spent ages trying to find a decent set, and i think ive succeded. Clear side repeaters went on at som point aswell


Managed to get a Sebring backbox off egay for cheap and cobbled some pennies together for a powerflow centre section too.


Badgeless grille and a cheeky Irmscher badge next.



Then was the brakes and suspension. Standard 2 litre jobs and a koni yellow -40mm kit. Almost 18months after i but the wheels on


Random mincing action shot (remembr kids safety equipment is important)


Depo's fitted along with a single wiper


Blue leds to replace the kack standard ones


Next it was off to the bodyshop. Managed to find an Irmscher rear bumper for cheap, gsi skirts and arches (thanks to Fad for them :wave. Also wanted a badboy, extnded bonnet.
Respect the parcel tape skills



And currently how she stands...





Awaiting a new front bumper, should be something special. Watch this space . Possibly thinking of a LeT in the future, but lets see how things go.
