Decided to put a project thread up, so here goes.

When I first got my car.

So as you can see pretty much chavved up, then it was time to de chav it a bit.

First things to go was the body kit, 17" alloys and the M3 mirrors.

So I got some standard bumpers, standard mirrors, steinmetz replica side skirts, black angle eyes, lowered 30mm on G-max springs, smoke rear lights, smoked side repeaters, 15" alloys, laguna splitter and a debaged grill.

Still looked a bit chavvy so got myself a tigra scuttle panel and a sportex 3" back box to replace the 4.5" peco one.

Looks so much better with the 3" sportex one on.

I then got myself a full Nova Jamex 40mm lowering kit. Have not fitted this yet.

Then got rid of the grey plastic and fitted some black ones.

Fitted some chrome bonnet lifters, K & n panel filter and some wind deflectors.

I then Fitted a sport interior.
Old seats.

New seats.

I then got some Astra sport alloys and resprayed them gloss black.
Before

Primed.

And finely sprayed them gloss black.

Fitted to the car.

Then the last bit of de chaving was to get the black off.

Well that's pretty much how she stands today. have a few new plans, going to get some smoked depos, maybe some MHW rear lights and maybe an irmy splitter or a GSI front bumper.
All comments welcome and ideas. Thanks for reading.

Thanks mate. I was going to get some gsi ones but these came up and I like them more then the gsi ones as there are no jacking points to get nicked.

Thanks mate. I must admit that I wasn't sure on the astra alloys to start with, but once I put them on I loved how they looked.

Forgot I had a project thread on here. Lots has happened since I started this.

I'll try my best to update this now.

Got the jmax lowering fit fitted.
Old and new together.

All fitted.

Sprayed my Tigra scuttle panel, door handles and roof rails gloss black.

Swapped the grey carpet for a black one.

Then bought a gsi front bumper.

Decided to carbon wrap a few bits.

All refitted.

Got my gsi bumper sprayed and fitted.

All comments welcome.

Update.

Bought some new bits for the Corsa over the past few weeks.

Some wiring to wire up my fog lights, some smd bulbs for my heater panel and some Auto Glym super resin polish.

Also carbon wrapped my heater panel.

Before.

After.

All fitted back in my Corsa.

Bought a good condition bonnet as the paint on mine was crap. Not got many pictures of the old and new bonnets.

When it was delivered.

New bonnet fitted.

Swapped the smoked rears for some standard ones a few months back.

Before.

After.

Decided to give a was and polish today.

Really impressed with how good Auto Glym srp is.

Been thinking about getting rid off my rear wiper. Just can't decided if to get a Punto wiper or if to blank if off.

I like the tints as they are. As for the lights, I did buy some depos but decided that I prefer my angels to them.
