I've never done a project thread on here, mainly because i only briefly owned a Corsa. But i pick my s2k up tomorrow morning so i thought i'd have somewhere to document it.

I dont have any huge plans, the car is amazing to drive already so no plans to mess about with suspension etc.

The only plans i have atm are:

New wheels, probably oem AP2 wheels.

Private plate: I've seen S200 DRY (S200D RY) for a good price.

Get headlight washers painted silverstone.

Keep it very clean

A few pics from the garage, that private plate is now off.

The interior looks tatty here, dont know why. Its mint and really bright.

if its just vinyl get the hair dryer on it and they'll peal off easy. gum wheel or some adhesive remover to get any residue off

Looking at the picture it does seem to be vinyl, the reflection on the paint goes dull over the stripes. Not the end of the world if not though, it was a massive bargain and i'll probably sell it on in the spring.

got to give him credit for the effort though!

It will be going on this weekend (if its dry enough to get the fitting kit on) and staying on until march, so a stand isnt really a priority. Have you got the genuine honda stand?

Cheers Nathan!

Yea Lee, fitting kits usually go for about £400, I got the fitting kit, roof and cover for not much more. Bought it from the for sale section on s2ki.

Next job's:

Paint brake callipers black.
Get mugen bushes fitted when they arrive from Japan and Geo set up.

I've got an oem replica front lip in the garage that i may fit and get painted.

Also thinking of buying a DA machine jobby and having a go at the paintwork.
