Corsa C SXi

**samo** · 03-03-2010, 11:35 PM

Okay so Ive been on this site over 2 years, and have never yet put up a project thread. So thought i would get on with it. up until December 2008 i was driving a '97 corsa merit, which was pretty much rotting into the ground by the time i sold it, i was spending like 150 a month on repairs so i came to the conclusion it would be cheaper to buy a new car.

^ This is my old corsa shortly before it was scrapped. (few bits off it on ebay at the mo.)

Then at the end of 2008 i bought this bad lad. Probably paid too much for it at 4Grand! but we live and learn.

It now has rear tinted windows, roof spoiler and Black cesaro alloys. Will get a pic of its current state up tomorrow if i remember.

My plans for it are:
- Badgeless grill
- Colour Code arches and skirts
- Black Headlights
- White wing mirrors
- Astra sxi alloys, with black and white paint job
- white calipers
- Ovel Exuast
- Lowered
- DVD player and PS2 hooked up inside.
And eventually maybe an Dbilas ecotec inlet manifold, with full Dbilas air intake system
-
Hoping to get a lot of this done this year.

All comments and suggestions Welcome.

Thanks not sure whether or not to keep them, thinking of getting some Astra sxi alloys, or maybe some 17''.

**Diamonds** · 04-03-2010, 03:30 PM

don't get 17's

get something different

ronal teddies or something haha

haha! thats a bit too different / gay for my liking.
My plan way to get astra alloys and do a white and black paint job on them, and then carry on the white/black throughout the car.

**martinlird** · 04-03-2010, 08:38 PM

I think some White VXR reps would look sweet

Expensive, but sweet

haha

Yeah, they would look very sweet, but if i recall correctly they are 5 stud, so would have to spend more on a conversion.

**martinlird** · 09-03-2010, 05:12 PM

Yeah they are 5 stud, but they'd look the bees!

Who cares about the £200 conversion

lol

**millzii** · 18-03-2010, 02:00 PM

any chance you'd sell those cesaros?

**martinlird** · 18-03-2010, 02:13 PM

**Vegas** · 18-03-2010, 02:16 PM

Wheels are spoiling it for me, don't think they look right, whether its the shade of black I don't know, I dont think the profile of the tyres are helping either
