Hi all. Been a member for sometime decided it’s about time I started a build up thread for my white corsa. Purchased the car back in June 2010 and done a few small changes since owning it.

General information

1.2 8v
Diamond cut cav slabs refurbed by previous owner with anthrecite inserts
Lowered 60mm on jamex springs
German rear lights
3/4 size front number plate (removed)
Induction kit (removed)


Plans for now-

New Lowering Springs
Coloured coded post 97 front and rear bumpers
Debadge Grill


Here are some pictures from the for sale ad













More updates soon!

I've heard that 60 front 40 rear is best for handling, I would of thought that it would of been better before you raised it tbh

New bumpers look smart not a fan over the chrome slabs but that's just my opinion

the door handles have been done with halfords vauxhall glacier white spray paint,
however a few little bug's decided to land on them as they were drying which ended up ruining them so i used some white paint and paint brush to redo them, will be doing them properly again soon

Haha you painted them with a brush? :O your worse than my mate he likes to prime things with a brush instead of setting up his gun :/ more work IMO all that rubbing down to get an even finish would do my head in!

Looks good with current bumpers on but looked like it was hiding something with the old ones on
