hello guys been using the site for quite a while now but never really posted much, so i thought i make a little progress thread. I have had corsa's since day i past my test starting with a 1.2 which i loved, but wanted somthing a bit more, so about a month ago i got my self a sri.  I got quite a few plans for it money slowing it all down of course but i thought i keep you updated with what i have done and that so far the car has been brought new wheels borbets which are being refurbed and going on after winter and just had its arch's and skirts sprayed and cupra r splitter next is loweing and few other little bits to smarten it up well here a few pics when first got it to what its slowly turning into.

Nice 
I've got Irmscher springs on mine, but they're a bit old now. I got them second hand from Rich H who also got them second hand, so I've no idea how old they are really Great springs though, hefty price tag unfortunately. Plenty of pics in my garage if you want to see how it looks with them on.
