I brought my first car 2 weeks ago, off one of my best mates, It is a Vauxhall Corsa SRi 1.4l 8v. It is a brill car apart from the paint fading and flaking off the spoiler as well as the mileodmeter not working. It has a K&N 57i induction kit, a 3 inch exhaust system, some dtm mirrors and some 15inch Astra 6 spoke alloys. But I would like to know what else I should do to it.

Hi Martin, get some pictures up of your can when you can, so we can see what it looks like.

Just right click the picture and click properties. Then copy and paste the image link into here. Then add [img] [/ img] (without the space) before and after the link.

Or upload via imageshack or photobucket.

if pics are saved on your pc you will need to upload them to a file hosting website such as

http://www.imageshack.us

upload the pic to that website (its free to use) and then simply copy and paste the image link provided

yep, welcome to Corsasport btw

nice base car to start with, you could give it a good polish as red tends to fade to a pink, also back to black or autoglym bumper care bring the arches and bumpers up nice an black & shiny

The wheels are astra six spokes now because my mate sold the wheels that are on this picture when he sold it to me, those wheels were some Wolfrace Street Octanes, in 15"s.

yeah why not, will make it sit better than the standard 4x4 height.
you could also colour code mirrors, handles & boot lock surround, debadge the boot.
if you want to update the look post 97 bumpers are a straight fit and are half colour coded. Depends what route you wanna take really, fairly cheap mods & changes can be made which will update the look and keep it subtle, have a look through the projects section and member garages for ideas

Those are some good ideas I was really wondering if post 97 bumpers fitted and i'm glad they do. I need to get a heat shield and cold air feed pipe for the induction kit, because it has burnt through and faded the paint to pink where it sits in the engine bay.
