This is the life of my Corsa Gsi.

My first car was a 1.2 LS 5dr Corsa which I brought standard at 17

I did the normal things alloys, lowering, exhaust colour coding, bucket seats etc and this is how it finished of before selling it

I then decided it was a bit too slow for me so I brought a nova 1.6 GTE engine to put in it, but that didn’t go to well the wiring caused so much problems even before we put the engine in lol. I then decided that I would just buy a Corsa Gsi.

So I then went brought a Gsi which had clear rear lights, peco back box and induction kit.

These all came straight off and my parts from my old Corsa went on, smoked lights, exhaust and alloys, fiat rear wiper and a general clean

This is a pic at Trax 2005 a few weeks after I got the car

I then fitted a set of Astra smoked side repeaters and ultra smoked lights, as well as colour coding the boot handle, also fitted an opel front grille and painted the engine cover.

I wasn’t too much of a fan of the old alloys on the Gsi and needed new tyres so brought a set of 15” pro race 2 alloys and toyo tyres. This made the handling/performance better as this is what I was going for this time.

It was then the dreaded mot time and it failed so had to fit a new power steering rack. Just after I had fitted a new alternator lol so an expensive time.

I then decide to take the smoked rear light off and put the standard ones back on. Also fitted a set of koni adjustable all round and a rear strut brace. Also after 9 months I finished my door pods and colourcoding of a few bits.

I went to Trax 2006 where I picked up a set of 2lt brakes and grooved discs which were fitted back in October.

It was then my 21st birthday where I was given a personal number plate B5 NMJ. I think this has made the car a lot cleaner looking and a lot more personal.

I will update with pictures of the brakes, and plates soon once the car is back on the road after a good tidy up.

The rest of my plans for the car are semi smooth boot, a few performance mods and maybe MHW rear lights.

Ill keep it updated with pics and new mods. More picures in my garage

Update

Not really done much to the car for a while, mainly tiding it up a little.

Rear wiper is now on as well as the harness slots in the seats.

The most recent mod is the Blueflame cat back exhaust, what a great system

Also number plates have been changed to B5 NMJ due to PC PLOD

Here are the most recient pictures which were taken at trax.

Enjoy.
