Hey all.
Name is Greg.
Im from Johannesburg in South Africa.
Have a 2006 Corsa Lite Sport which I have done some minor work on.
My future plans for her are to go all out Euro. (Absolutely love the look!)
My inspiration for it is Jimmy2.1's panel Corsa that he did.
That car was epic!
Was bummed when I read that he sold it.
Anyhow.
Here is my car and a quick overview of what I have done so far.
Let me know what you guys think and pointers would be greatly appreciated!
My baby. ^^
Running on a set of 15's wanna get steelies and stretch!! 
Corsa B GSI Bootspoiler 45 drop front 55 drop rear.
Here you can see the front lights which have been popped open and the chrome bit has been sanded and sprayed satin black.
Upgraded my motor to a Z18XE
Kept my power steering and A/C on my car with this instal which is a cool bonus. And she goes really really well! Marbro and atest to that.
re did my interior lining a while ago which gave Marbro the idea to do his.
Here's how mine came out.
What I love about the upgrade to interior is that it looks like it was done oem.
Also just recently,
I updated my cluster to those of the Corsa C Sport model.
Other stuff that has been done to her to date is:
2 litre calipers have been installed with Premium Cross Drilled, Slotted and Vented Discs, Full free Flow system Installed, Petrol flap has been smoothed over.
Sound has been installed.
Sony Xplode Deck, Split system up front, limpets in the rear, 8" bass tube and amps to run everything.
There is still a lot to be done to my car.
The next thing I want to do is get 43mm throttles with larger injectors.
(Which I have just done the payment for. )
These are the beasts that should be arriving here Wednesday.
Then its time for me to get a manifold made for them and slap 'em on!

Welcome mate.
Clock upgrade looks interesting, clocks from a UK C won't fit a B.

Thanks for the warm welcomes guys!
The C clock in South Africa wont fit in either.
Cause of the security transponder thingy.
I just basically used the rings, the display sheet and needles.
Then modded my stock clocks to accommodate them.

Thanks!
Yeah. My little pocket rocket! Ha ha!
When the throttles are on. She is going to really shunt then!
There aren't a lot of these conversions here either. But it seems to be getting popular.
I know of a few guys that are going the same route as well.
