What were you thinking!?


took the grille off my saxo and put it on the bench next to my old corsa one and thought " they are the same shape I bet that fits"

and it did, stayed on as long as the flash on the camera was lit

worst mod ive done was a m3 style back box with no baffles on my clio mk1 blue lights on the peddles and blue neons under the car that pulsed to the bass of my sub and one of these cheap 10bhp chips which turns out to be a resistor lol but we all make mistakes lol

Worst corsa mods were probably...
- Wheels
- all the stuff i did to the engine
- eyebrow things although they came off after a few weeks.

suspension, brakes and interior bits were all epic though imo.

ibiza....
- when i covered the badges + black plastic bits in cheap carbon vinyl... took it off after a few months.

i see a ford focus most mornings with all sorts of garbage stuck to it. has viper stripes and led washer jets. he's got wind deflectors stuck to almost every body panel. the guy driving it is easily over 35. i've been trying for ages to get a decent pic so you lot can slate him but i never see him stopped at the lights.

Paying for corsasport stickers (before Ian made them, i had them made) to put on my car.

having the "blue LED light" option on my toad alarm. Made my headlights stick out like sore thumbs at night.

Buying the first set of Lexarse lights, They never saw daylight though.

Buying a budget amp to go with expensive component speakers, then blowing them up, and the replacement pair... I learnt eventually. Cheap kit is cheap for a reason

Oh, not buying lowering springs, that was an awful non modification.

Ahhhhh, untold amount of corsas running around on completley the wrong offsets, tramlining down lorry tracks.

Happy days... Think my old 15"s were et35 Venoms were similar.

I think there should also be a gap between 10 and years.

Cybox Exhaust - I'd never heard of 'em but it was £200 and I thought what's the worst that could happen? Turns out it wouldn't fit, then when I got the extra bit needed to fit it was impossible to stop it blowing and knocking on the back axle After 9 months of trying I gave up and got Longlife on the job, another £200 but I've never had a problem since, apart from being stupid and having it too loud

K&N - It's actually still on a shelf in my garage, it only lasted a few weeks till I realised it killed my afm and it lost power

Think that's it
