So after two and half years of Corsa B SXI ownership-

then


I've made a fairly large step up to a Corsa C 1.8 16v SRI, purchased off of Fad's brother




Paid £2995 for it, only 53,400 miles, Full Vaux Service History, 12months MOT, 6months Tax, Really good condition too!

I've driven 75miles in it this afternoon, just so different from a 1.2, so quick and really good fun!


I haven't made many plans for it but i reckon i'm going to lower it on 35mm Springs (similar to DaveSkaters), and refurb + paint the wheels, not sure on Anthracite/Grey/Gloss Black though!!! And possibly change the exhaust!

Nice one fella! I'm getting my black SRi alloys put back to silver so can pop them on I think!

Any plans for yours?

Alun, i've only just realised as i was looking at other C's! The mirrors made me think it was post-facelift but i'm happy with it none the less!

cjohnson, definately is! Has been kept very clean, Fad was cleaning it as i arrived!

Swill, change my username on here and join Corsa-C.UK , and for the car Black/Grey the wheels, lower 35mm, smaller ariel, stuck on Num Plates rather than screwed and exhaust

JR, yeah that was the 1st thing i was going to do but having driven it around abit it doesn't sound too bad so will wait a while i reckon!, Either an Oval one or standard one!

It was Fad's Brothers car Joe, and he hadn't owned it that long so i assume it came with it when he bought it.

To be fair, you can't hear it at all until 4-6k revs. And sitting at idle it's silent. Just it looks out of place 2bh, slightly too big!

I'm thinking about getting a standard exhaust although if i spot a nice smaller oval one i'll get that

Cheers Gav, nah you don't to be fair, my first choice colours would've been Dark Blue/Black but Red is still really nice and will look even better on dark wheels i hope

Good buy there fella, saw that in classifieds.

The backbox belongs on an impreza etc, only thing that lets it down.

Nice one mate, great price too!

The aerial and plates will make a massive difference, as will the springs. The height on my Irmy springs is just right imo.

You seem to have kind of a partial-facelift which is a bit random De-bump strip it and it will make a massive difference imo
