Nice one there mate 
There's a Leaf Green Corsa in the village I used to live in, 12v with L plates Needs a good cleaning though 
Never been a massive fan on those wheels, even on Astras, but each to their own
How come you're sick of having a lowered car? My guess is the bumpy ride

Thanks for the replys lads
shaun yes the 1.6 its going strong hopefully start and tweek it a little soon but needs the valve stem oil seals doing 1st tho
Dave yes its a bumpy ride,iv been looking into some new suspension but still cant decide what to to as i like the look of it low but is a bumpy ride especially the amount of pot holes round my area.
CorsaB4ever yes the the 1.6 engine went in around 6-7 weeks ago and was thinking of having the rear wiper removed and smoothed off but would be keeping the boot lock but wont be having that done just yet.

Plates really suit that colour of the car!
The alloys look as if they should be standard on Vectras or something similar too, very nice.
EDIT: You won't be able to see fuck all out of your back window if you get the wiper removed, a real pain when it's dark and raining. As for the boot lock, if you hardly ever use the boot you might as well go ahead and get it smoothed, otherwise, again it's a pain in the arse. Wish mine had both the lock and wiper still there in all honesty.

Yeah I'm like this on the way to/from work sometimes, the roads around here are just plain awful in some places and needed resurfacing years ago. But then I look at it slammed looking awesome and remember how it used to feel like the car was going to roll round every corner, and decide it's for the best to leave it
You might be better off with coilies so that you can soften the shocks Or maybe get different poundage springs.

Light smoke on the front and medium on the 3 rears.they do look very dark in those pics but are not as dark as that in person.
have been thinking of getting the 3 rears done light smoke so there the same all around.i got pulled before xmas mate for my side lights then quizzed me on the windows saying they will be illegal but when they radioed the other police car down the road to bring the light level gun they were busy using it on someone elses car so got a away with that one.
If i do get pulled and have to peel them i will be taking all the tints out.

Late SXi's iirc, early ones came with 6 spokes. Or maybe the early and late are the other way round, not sure now

You could try the de-wiper with a bung. I find its fine with rain repelent, if it gets loads of rain on, use the screen heater.
Instead of semi-smooth boot, how about a CC'd boot handle? CC the door handles too. Maybe get the black bits (arches, skirts, bumper tops) done in gloss black and a de-badged front grill?

Facelift strips would look much better imo, wouldn't trust myself to put them on straight though

Yeah dave there late sxi's.
antee dont fancy painting the arches n bumpers gloss black i think it wont look right with the silver wheels and i dont really want to have wheels painted gloss black as it wont suit the style of the car imo.
Was thinking of having them rubbed down & satin black?
Dave i have some facelift strips but never fitted them,i prefer the thinner ones.
