the seat covers beat the trim on the seats!

thanks for the comment about the boot as well

thanks whittie, im gettin bored of discussin insurance!, the bonnet is going to be resprayed soon as i made the mistake of painting 'sections' of it to cover the rust, going to colour code the boot lock plastic and door handles at the same time.

and depending on how much i get for xmas some new wheels would be nice!.

Off to a good start anyway mate, nice to see a fresh corsa, without lexus lights on for a change, what alloys were you thinking? Vauxhall or aftermarket ones?

Depends what tyres and how greedy the seller is feeling

I got mine for £70 with tyres, on my old car (Black one)

There's some on here forsale in grey at the moment with new tyres on for around £200.

bit out of range for me, i got other hobbies that need the ££££'s!. But rolling 'round on 2 alloys and 2 steelies is a bit sad

well i have just been to the local scrappy and although he didn't have any corsa mudflaps or facelift grills, he did have a fairly good condition bonnet for £35, only problem is it has visible rust on it, i think im going to stick with the master plan and redo mine with my friend (properly this time!)

saw some of those cav' alloys for £70 as well which wernt bad! had tyres as well.

All id suggest really are small things like others have said.
Colour coding bits like boot lock etc..
Maybe change side repeaters for some clear ones?
Marera rear wiper

pics in my garage of this wiper if you wanted to have a look at one.

Henry is a legend.

Id say if you make some subtle changes to it, it will certainly be on its way. Do what you feel you want to do though. You dont need to do what everyone else has done
