After being off the road since February this year today I finally got the corsa back on the road!!!
Rang up the insurance this morning, bargain, fully comp with protected no claims and ALL mods declared and 2 fault accidents last year.... £400
Then off we go to the MOT station where my £35 test passed
Then she got a oil change and a wash and here she is......
List of things to do though...
New bonnet
Change exhaust
Repair sideskirt
Give the leather a clean
Raise the suspension
But overall im so pleased i was driving like this
Thought I would share it with you

I am looking out for a GSI kit to replace this one to be honest as I would need front and rear bumpers and a side skirt to tidy it up so may as well get the lot

get it back to standard imo, its the best colour, get it nice and tidy
let me bling the paintwork for you, it will be so shiny that you could pluck stray fanneh hairs off in the reflection.
