Hi,
I bought a Corsa yesterday after getting the news that it was going to cost me £700 for my 1987 mini to pass its mot!
Its a 2000 1.2 16v SXI. I was really surprised how fast it is, does anyone know the actual spec? (0-60 etc)
I picked it up for £1200 do you think thats a good price?

that looks very nice mate, does it have the reiger rear bumper aswell?
debadged slatted grille and taking off the headlight eyebrows will make the world of difference

Some smoked euro lights would look better, angel eyes look too fussy

To be honest, don't get anything. Standard is the best bet with the engine you have

The milage is quite high (98,000 miles). But it has a good service history.

It looks nice mate, but I wouldn't worry about trying to make it go faster. If your happy with performance just leave it at that as you will just be wasting money for basically no return.

joe6886 - what sort of headlights are those on your car? They are really nice. Also how do you get the strips on the side to be silver, are they just painted?
P.S. thanks for everyones kind comments and help. I am glad I found this forum.

the mini is sat on my drive at the moment. What parts are you after? All of the engine, gearbox etc is sound. The sub frame is only a year old. The problems are mainly with brakes, suspension and the floor panels.
