Yet if it was a Lotus Elise which is essentially the same car underneath then you'd get a much better response I'm sure!

keeping the engine plans quietish for now, but buckets and harnesses, rear arb, maybe some reyland 4pots, probably a respray, same colour but may be trying something I've never seen before on a black corsa, gonna try some photoshops soon, see what I come up with, get the wheels refurbed (possible colour change).

No doubt I'll find plenty of other things to spend money on too

Yeah, I got my bonnet sorted end of November, new one's full of dents, but overall looks better and less obvious. May have to see Iain about his original one off his sport, he offered it me a while ago, but I wanted black, may see if he's still got it.

Oh aye, need to straighten my slam panel too. Now the bonnet's on it's obvious how bent it is

Dont have any problems saying i drive a corsa.... probably would if it was a rust bucket, and not well looked after.

Felt like a twat driving a diesel 106 around tbh.
