Going to look at a '97 White Corsa B. Completely standard exept for colour coded bumpers and arches.
I have about £500 to spend on mods etc but not sure on what route to go down.
Any ideas of what I could do within my budget and pics if possible.
Cheers in advance

Might struggle with your budget but with a bit of lowering and some white 15s it would look ace

I was thinking White Speedlines and lowered.
Or GSi kit in white, lowered and Cesaros, Slabs etc
I will be spending more on it down the line but just want it looking well before i get the license

With that budget your best bet would be to get a nice set of wheels and a lowering kit and It'll be looking decent, GSi kit will be out of your budget, especially for a good condition one.

Cheers lads
I was thinking of something like the pic above but surely I could get alot more done to it than that for £500 lol
Thinking of just blowing the budjet on speedlines and lowering. Then pick up different bits and bobs like depos and skirts after that

Its easy to think £500 can get you a lot, your talking about £250-300 for the speedlines £50-100 to get them white, £150-200 for suspension, depos £60? skirts £50 and again paint?

When I bought it :
Now:
Spent:
£190 on coilovers and rear springs
£150 for morrettes
£20 for wind deflectors
£200 wheels and tyres
£50 v6 brake setup
Bit more than £500 but you get the idea?

Yeh white is a great colour in them but its hard getting one that doesnt have patches of rust on the bodywork
I'm on Jon44. Seems that all the prices over here are silly though lol
