mines the xep with a cam chain.
i was going to spend more and wanted a lower mileage one, but gave this one a chance and it drove really well and was in good condition so i went for it. putting a zlet in it when i get my student loan through next year anyway

You should see mine now mate It's proper dirty, especially after driving on that field  I was surprised how much difference claying and waxing made, it looked a bit dull before but the clay alone made a HUGE difference. That reminds me, I used up the remainder so need to order more!

starting to regret going for black over silver now still dont think you can beat black with black rims when its clean though, for that brief 10 minutes after a proper wash it looks great

I'm not regretting black... yet Tbh it's the only colour I'd get a C in anyway as it's by far the best colour imo.
I could wash it this Sunday, not drive it after, get to work Monday morning (5 miles away) and it'll be dirty But it's so worth it

Yeah Lee's copied me
Didnt know you where on here,I dont come on here much now with me having a C Etc,But because it's down again i thought i would venture back across Lol!

Dave,Ive just had a look through at them links and it looks really nice (Especially when it was all detailed)
I really need to do mine as it hasnt been washed since i got (September 09) Except 1 quickly by my Mam.
It has lots of tuning potential.

Ah i see.Is that what you actually wanted or was it just because it came up?Because i never heard anything about you buying it?
Im sure you've got a good buy there as no doubt Warren would of looked after it Etc.
Whats the spec of it now as i know Warren took some things off Etc....?
Looks nice,You dont see that many Silver one's (Well i havent seen many Sporty 3 door one's) And looks nice on the Allessio's.
What your plan's?
I might get a Thread up of mine on here as there seem's to be a fair bit of intrest on here over the C's.

It's annoying when the once chance you get it starts raining/snowing etc. I've been half way through waxing before and then it started raining Still finished it off though

I'd got for the C. After owning a B 12v for 3 years and driving a 1.2 16v Design Corsa C, I was impressed with the build quality and refinement - less wind noise, rattles etc.
However, this is probably the difference between 40k miles and 102k miles
C is the better car. And it'll be newer, which counts for a lot imho.
1.6 16v Sport B could be a rust bucket.
