hey again everyone, i joined here a while ago when i got my first corsa, but it was a heap, failed its MOT on over 2 pages, and i learnt alot from it, however, now im back with another white 1.2 LS, in much, much better condition, but when i got it, was standard as can be, had it around 2 months now i think, flew through its mot, and have had no problems with it. so yeah, thought id come back here now i have a car thats worth spending anything on,  feedback would be appriciated...
mods so far;
tigra clocks
colour coded front & back bumpers
debaged
lowered 60mm
uprated brakes (1.4) not yet fitted
tinted rear lights & side indicators
drilled airbox
spolier painted myself and put on
early sport interior put in
early gsi alloys
got rid of rear wiper
hopeful mods soon;
blacken up arch liners to match bumpers
possible new interior
elec central locking/windows/mirrors
black detailing (b pillars etc)
window tints (help with this would be appreciated)
may be upgrading to a 1.2 16v from 8v soon

cheers guys, it is suprisingly clean everywere, apart from bottom of the b pillars (common problem i think?) but im paiting them black so it looks a bit cleaner down the windows, and with the tint was looking at about 20%, if that, so not too dark anyway, just something to darken it up a bit, also hoping to get my hands on some later spec sports seats, full black interior trims and newer gsi alloys soon xD

badboy bonnet, post up an add asking for one in classifieds im sure someone wi9ll have on to sell
if your converting from a 1.2 8v to 16v surley it w0ouldbe easier to just do it to a 1.4 8v, which arent bad engines

cheers guys, i tried the heat gun, worked a treat, could do with them going a tad blacker though imo, also scrapping the 1.2 16v idea, bad boy bonnet sounds good, but gonna have to wait till next month, already spent too much money this month
also, anyone interested in any parts from a V reg silver corsa, exterior, or early sport interior/late sport interior? need to know soonish though

Looking good, a new rear number plate would make it look so much nicer though (makes it look dirty/rough from the back)
