Im starting to run out of ideas what to do my corsa at the moment i don't feel as if i can really do much more to her apart form having a bigger engine fitted & once i finally get some door cards to finish my interior off.
Has anyone got any suggestions what else i could do to?
its gone from this
to this
Please ignore the crap plates as i now have pressed plates.

You could match the colour of the arches/skirts.
Mount the exhaust straight.
Get rid of the 'swing' badge or whatever it says.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

De-Badge, De-wiper properly (Not grommet) and remove rubstrips is what I would do

i agree about de-wiper and de-badge that i will consider.
as it goes for full colour code the bumpers n arches i do not want to do as iv seen a car in the scrap yard the same colour as mine and it just looked too much in this colour.
i already have a small aerial and tigra scuttle & pressed plates.
bonnet bras is a no no not a fan al all tbh and an irmy splitter which i have sitting in the garage i dont think it will suit the rest of the car.
This is the one i seen at the scrap yard fully colour coded

Looks nice, how about lowering it a tad more @ the back? Dewiper the back? Smooth Boot? De-rubstrip the sides? Colour code?
What rear lights are those? Have you got a link? I need a set similar

I know it's not exactly original, but I think that'd look fantastic on Exclusiv's.

De-badging is essential

yeah i agree it needs to be lower and im still looking into that at the moment as im the only person that drives in my family so need to be careful how low i go.
de-tint has crossed my mind but still not sure yet plus they look lighter than what they do in the pictures and from what iv herd its a right pain removing the tint from the rear window.

the bigger bumpstrips off a sport/sxi etc would look nice.

to be honest all it really needs is de badging at its fine as it is. its nice as it looks different and you never see many in that colour.

cheers shaun
i have flat front wipers mate but whats the crack with the meriva weekend rear wiper 
not sure about taking rubstrips off yet incase i have problems with faded paint underneath but if or when a bigger engine is fitted it will be in for a full respray and the bumper n arches rubbed smooth and done in satin black & rear wiper removed completely.

I have some idea's, was gonna keep them to myself but the cars going in September so no point really.
I think lower it slightly more on the back, Irmscher splitter smoothed in on the front, anthracite trims and bumper tops etc, and maybe the wheels done to match.
Otherwise a bigger engine to aid performance shall really finish the car off

I had the same rear wiper and found it still clears a good bit and is fine enough
