Thanks everyone

Danny, never really been that keen on black wheels to be honest. I used to have really dark grey wheels on it to start with and went off them. I think the white wheels makes it stand out

Corsa_Sport21, not a full respray mate no. All bumpers, skirts mirrors spoiler etc have been resprayed along with the bonnet and boot Its got a few blemishes here and there but it scrubs up quite well. Also poor boys white diamond topped with dodo light fantastic gives an amazing shine!

John, the smoking situation is getting worse to be honest. The piston rings have worn on it. It still drives ok though so the plan is to get another x16xe lump and fully rebuild it over the summer and then swap it over in a long weekend The calipers I wasnt sure about when I first did them but I've grown to really like them. They tie in nicely with my hoses I think.

BluKoo, They were just taken on normal format mate. I pinched my sisters nikon d90 and took them on the auto mode lol. Tweaked them a bit in photoshop though after I need to get her to show me how to use the manual settings!

They're really nice pics mate, some of them really do look like they're straight out of a mag feature

Bit of a shame the engine's dying though

Very very nice mate


Only thing I think could make it look better (very picky) is on the front bumper in the lower grille where the towing eye is in oem form the bit behind is black not white. Think a bit of black vinyl would add a bit of contrast

Deffo my fav corsa ever, but Im with Gavin, for me grills are supposed to be black, I think it would break the white up nicely and improve the look loads

I didn't quite mean all black. This is how mine was and I think it added a nice contrast

Thanks for the comments everyone

Gav, thats something I've been thinking about actually after a couple of people mentioned it to me at pvs. I thought about doing the recess in the rear bumper as well but I'm not sure

Aron, it sits slightly lower at the back yeah. its down 60mm at the front and 100mm at the back. I've always really like corsas and novas with a slight back end heavy look though

i'd maybe add some badges to it, it will look even more factory and like a special edition or something.

just small ones, one front, each side and rear
