This is my first project its a 1998 Corsa 1.6 sport.
I got it for a bargin with a little work needing doing to it. Its alternator is dead, the doors been replaced and re-sprayed which is really really bad and the bonnets got a dent.

Plan;

Remove that stupid exhaust and put a de-cat system in
Remove the lexus lights (done replaced with euro style rears)
Steinmetz skirts
smooth & colour code rear bumper
colour code arches
Replace door & bonnet
new alternator
gsi bumper (already have)
lexmaul inlet mani (heard it gives better power gains down the rev range)
lexmaul exhaust mani
newmans cams
bmc/cda induction
Some rh cups or brock b2s

And a few other bits and bobs. watch this space

Update...

Started on the Gsi bumper, it was in very good condition with all the mountings and brackets intact. £60 without fogs which i think was a fantastic price.

Felt a bit guilty to be rubbing down it original flame red paint because it was still nice shiny and bright.

Anyways I'll let the pictures do the talking

Stripped the grill and splitter off and removed the plate.

The only bit or damage, looks likes somones tried to force the light back in.

When I bought it, it had all the moutings intact but the couriour Damaged one, not a big deal though as it was in the packaging so will be easy to fix.

Im also keeping the grill off so im smoothing out the (duno what to call it..lol) this...

More progress pictures to come in the next update..

a pic of the new lights

Looks 100x better than lexus rubbish
( most of you will be pleased to know I threw them in the bin to rid the world of 1 more pair of tacky lights

and it was was much more satisfying then the £10 i would have sold them for!)

More updates coming soon

How much for mate?

Im undecided what to do now tbh.. im thinking of either throttle boddies or turbo charging the 1.6. Rather than slapping on a load of performance goodies and only getting 140bhp if im v.lucky.
Im going to have to get some opinions.

Thats very cheap mate and I appreciate the offer but I think im going to turbo it.

Good luck with selling it, not that you'll need it though should be gone soon at that price
