Welcome to my thread...
Well this is my Corsa C, it started out as a 1.0l comfort, completely standard...

87,000miles
FSH,
2 Keys,
Tax and Tested



I'd had the car approximatly 2 months when the timing chain decided to snap!..
Therefor I visited my local salvage, and managed to find a ''1.2 16v engine from a 2004 plate Corsa SXI'' only done a mere 31,000 miles, with FSH.

My First modification was to lower the car, I ordered some P.I 60ml springs of ebay...
Secondly If it's goin to look anything ''euro'' dished rims of some sort was a must! After carefull consideration I decided to go for the ''Ronal Turbo's'', I purchased them off ebay and travelled to Scotland for them... and upon fitted looked like this ....





Then I decided to De-Strip, De-Rub, and De-Badge the car, giving it the smooth appearance, and was now looking better. I then fitted some SXI side skirts I managed to buy form my local scrapyard and now looked like this...



One night on ebay (again!) lol, I purchased a full 'supersprint' exhaust system, fitted it! and sounds absoloutly fantastic, not too loud and kind of subtle...



My future plans are;
1. Coilovers
2. Chequred Roof
3. Stripped
4. A set of ''sparco corsa'' Bucket Seats I have my eye on
5. German plates
6. Facelift lights/ Bumper

As you can see it's far from finished, thanks for looking, any feedback is appriciated; will keep you updated

quite like it the way you have blanked out the number plate, i think you should get the recess smoothed.

just people have done the ronal turbos to death now and theres so much better out there..

th lines are kool ye, some nice bbs's, or i reckon some borbet ts (like i have on my mk1 golf, i think they would look smart on your c..

just saying, but i said to aron about getting some new wheels and he got some bbs's and they look x10 better, also i said to the guy with the red corsa b let (with camo over it) and know hes got banded steels..

just so much better out there dude, that would really set the car off for the 'euro' look..

low on some nice dishes, and smooth bumpers would look top imo
