im 17, learning to drive and have a corsa b.. its only a 1.0 but it does the job my budget is kind of tight but i try and get the best parts i possibly can ahaa

alloy wheels that came on it are slightly boring ahaa


looks like a granny car without a spoiler though


i want to get the mesh grill in future

i had been looking for new wheels for a long time, like the softstars and speedlines but they are so expensive :/ i dont really like cav slabs because everyone has them, when i came across these cav expression wheels for £40! tyres where decent and there is hardly any kurbing on any of them, althought they where so bloody dirty!



got one cleaned up good and it looks like new! took about 4 hours to get like that, going to do one a day i think

i forgot to mention.. about 2 weeks after driving the car to college and i noticed a knocking sound coming from the front left wheel when turnin right and the steering started pulling to the left aswell :S when my dad drove it back that day the driveshaft went :/ i was gutted!



pretty annoying it had to happen so soon



problems didnt stop there haaha

disc cracked getting the driveshaft off :/ so we replaced the discs and pads while we where at it

the front left wheel is still knocking when turning right and and accelerating though :/ anyone know what it could be?

took some photos of the interior today

i bought some matts but they where pretty poo so my mum bought me some corsa matts, which i think look awesome!


the rear of the car is pretty clean and the seats are like new!


everything seems to be in amazing condition considering the amount of miles the car has done


the new cd player took some time to get in, the wires to the old cd player where mangled and we couldnt get it to fit straight but it sorted now
