Well as it stands, I have my driving test on January the 9th and hoping I pass after 9 months of learning to drive

And when I turn 18 in March I will reiceve some money which I have had left to me.
My Family have always said I should buy a new car when I turn 18 but after thinking about it I cannot really justify having a new car, I want to build up my driving experience and NCB and buy something I really want a few more years down the line.
So that means Im keeping the Corsa for a few years and use it daily as I work 6 days a week normally, so I've decided to spend a few £ on the Corsa when I get the money.

Wheels is my main priority, I've gone off the TSW's and feel they let the car down, for those of you that remember I put a thread up a month ago about wheel Idea's and still haven't made my mind up.
All that comes to mind are some sort of 16" Wheel with black spokes and a green or polished rim(if i go green then i will get it powder coated)
But not sure where to look first for dished wheels in the size and fitment that I want.

Im leaving the engine side of things alone for now, but I feel the need to change the exterior.
I need some new side skirts as one of them is slightly bent and there abit Bland In My Opinion, Steinmetz skirts are probably the ones I will go for to replace them.

I also feel the front needs a change, just don't really know what way to go with it, any Idea's

Here's the car in question:

All Idea's and Opinion's Welcome

TBH mate I like the look of your corsa as it is, the only thing I could say is colour code all the black plastics except the morettes.

I like the wheels as they are!

Maybe a private plate?

colour code all the black, or mb anthracite or summin, some nice simple looking wheels, i know everyone has softstars but they could look good, smooth in the splitter, stienmetz skirts. remove eyebrows, mb slight window tint? and colour coded seat belts would look reli nice, but tbh looks nice already! ....get a gti lol

Like the Idea's so far, perhaps paint all the black/grey plastics in that rover grey colour, and I think the eyebrows have also had there time on the car, so Will take them off asap.

Yea thats the plan, think the black bits would have to stay as they work well with the wheels.

Just took the eyebrows off and It does look better, will get some pictures tomorrow.

paint the trims gloss black. Wheels suit it but if you've gone off them, then get something different. Smoothed in splitter would look

As said, paint the black trims black/gloss black, maybe carbon bonnet

Car looks lovely as it stands anyhow.

Thanks guys for the comments

A Blakc bonnet was something I have been thinking about, I can easily get hold of one.

Still thinking about painting the trims, not sure what black to go for, not sure if gloss would be to in your face, I was thinking about satin as my skirts are painted satin

Rover Gun metal grey according to his garage, that was a colour I was tempted to go for, Darker than standard trim but still subtle.

Never been a fan of them wheels to be honest but they do suit the car to a 'T'

Loose the eyebrows would be a huge advantage TBH

Have thought about the mirrors but don't think it would work, did see a lupo in a VW magazine which had a black petrol cap, roof and mirrors - looked good but don't think it would work on my car.

Will paint the towing eye black though, never thoguht of doing that before

Im liking the rover gunmetal painted plastics at the moment, just not sure if the black bonnet would still look good with them painted that colour
