Hi all

this is my corsa 1.4 sport which i bought in july 2011, it had the following mods when bought:

Corsa C sxi alloys sprayed black
lowered 60mm ( cut springs )
badgeless grill
proflow exhaust
bucket seats
tinted windows
smooth boot, saxo spoiler

This is what it looked like when i got it home





The first thing i had to sort out was the boot, which was replaced with a semi smooth one,
then shortly after came MHW's and mudflaps


Then some fk coilovers were bought, rears fitted without adjuster


Next up were the cesaro's with 195/45 tyres fitted, also removed the tints and wind deflectors fitted




My latest mod, green rocker cover


I have bought a gsi front bumper and sideskirts which needs spraying, and have smoked depos which needs fitting, i have also just ordered Gaz ultra low rear coilovers as the fks arent as low as i want

My future plans are to strip the rear with a false floor, better bucket seats and a general tidy up, interior trim, paintwork, etc

Comments welcome good or bad

My fk's are the ones where the springs separate from the shock, are yours the same or the proper coilover mate?

Yes they're easy to do just undo the shock like you normally would do and remove it

Update:

Noticed some rust when removing the rear bumper to change the light for the new boot, and only just got round to sorting it
Before


After, rust treated and undersealed


Also trial fitted the gsi front bumper before it gets sprayed



And a better side picture of the car, can see in this picture the rubbish repair on the door by the previous owner
