Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 Sport
its a horrid green but not seen anyone with one on here so might be the first lol
its completeyl standard apart from an argos bought cd player
its got wiring for a sub, so guna have great fun ripping them out
apart from that its in quite good nick
just need to get it lowered and sum nice wheels on it to start with and take it from there
i have a feeling this is going to be a long process

a easy and free job to do is simple de-badge it makes such a difference  oh and the bump strips, unless you wish to advertise it as being a sport

how much should i lower it, i would love to do it as cheap as possible, but obviously an aim in the right direction
how low? were to go to buy? and what to buy, just springs, springs and shocks or coilovers?
ive seen the cheaper coilovers in the adverts in the vauxhall magazine, what are peoples verdicts of these, they are coil over kits but they kind of the cheaper end of the market like £250 - £300
i dont really fancy spending over £300 to lower me car, but as i said cheap as possible really

finally got the ball rolling and had to start with something so after 5 minutes looking around i got myself these....
thanks to www.wiperblades.co.uk for the speedy delivery and excellent podcut quality
then next a 200 mile round trip to meet a feel corsa sporter i brought these home in need of some love....
and next the front bumper, needed something more up-dated so another 240 mile round trip to wigan to collect this....
next i couldnt wait to get the wheels on my car so stopped at halfords and work (co-op) to pick up some carboard boxes and the work started.... what do you all think of my home made spraying booth  haha did the job, thank you co-op for the boxes
and a sneeky peak of the finished product, not the best could do with a good refurb but dont have the skills....if anybody knows of a cheap place to get my wheels re-furbed in west midlands i would appriciate it very much
enjoy....i will get pics of the car some time soon, already looks nice, just waiting on the g-max -60mm springs, should be arriving on friday or monday
