I know its a bit egotistical, but would be very satisfying to get one done  My install is going in next week (2500w RMS, 2 12" subs), got the 2.0, bodywork is perfect after the respray, you reckon i got much more to do? Do you have to send pics off or just go to more meets? How many people on the boards have had features? I know there have been a few!

Would prefer to stay away from max power, but something like total viaxhall would prob take quite a bit more engine tuning etc to get in to appeal to the mass market not just the younger people. Hhhmmm

I thought it would be extremely hard to get Corsa's featured now as they have been done to death theres always one a month i used to remember when i used to read the mags
It would take something very special like Iaz's or Beardy's car

Mags will take anyone's car - just have a gimmick, a story or a gash car.
It would be easier to get it onto the pages of Total Vauxhall than say Max Power, but they've all got to fill a certain number of pages with feature cars so just hassle them.

Wrong. Any gash Corsa would make it into the mags nowadays. I don't think they like cars with big engines - normally it has to be a 1.2 before they'll even consider it.

Yes, the cars in Max Power now are generally suited towards the 14/15 year old kid and 16 year old moped driver demographic.

my old one had a small feature in total vauxhall. it was a 1.2.
had plain standard engine, and crap standard interior, but the body was very nice, so it got a feature.

If you're after a proper feature (like 2/3 pages) then mags ussually look for cars with one-offs bits and pieces or cars the first with a bit of new kit etc. Stick some 22" rims on the corsa and you'll get in no prob 
Personally the only mags I feel are respectable are Redline (the staff are quality and a lot of it included their cars are funded personally) and Total Vauxhall.
