Michael [PD] - Cordellia the Corsa

[Michael [PD]]

HI everyone..as I've jsut got my PC working agian I thought I'd start a project thread about my new Corsa

SOOOO!

My Girlfriend bought it for me off some girl who had NO idea about anything to do with the car....

Its an R Reg Corsa B 1.0i 12v Trip

Right this is the day after I got it...already added my SXi Alloys







I then decided to put the lettering on the back

I didn't realise that I had put the Vauxhall lettering on uncentred



I didn't do much for a while, until I finally talked my Girlfriend into letting me paint more parts




The Door Pockets were changed to proper black plastic ones about a month after



During the painting of the Centre Console, i decided to take out the white strip things...this was a good idea as it let more blue through ALWAYS good



I bought anice 4 gauge dial set off the guy accross the street...still havent got the tach working

OBVIOUSLY had to put Blue lights in



I had to put my neons in this car I like to see my feet when Im driving



I went to my Dads in Braintree, Essex, for the weekend and thought I'd touch up some rust patches





Still needs T-Cutting



Painted the surround of my MFD as well



I got back home and decided to re-allign the Vauxhall lettering
Looks better I think



I just finshed Youth Work and thought Cordellia looked rather pretty alone at night in the petrol station



Eventually I got bored of my Sub constantly sliding in the boot SO...CARPET!!



A few weeks went past, and i decided my alloys looked terrible. SO following the guide on here I re painted them





THEN the next day...The guy accross the street sold me his complete interior for £25!!







With the seats in, I decided I needed a boot light. SO with the spare neon I had lying around I did this



Also I got some door sills from Marsha!!

Fitted and working with the door opening



I was driving one day and noticed i was getting no sound from my Sub!!
Turns out I'd blown the amp!!
Contacted the eBay store and they told me that if I paid an extra £20, I'd recieve an upgrade
Far nicer I think



I got bored one day and though I'd buy some Fog Lights (which I have found out are in fact BLUE Driving lights)
So here they are fitted







Quite Illegal lol..SO i taped them over and Ordered some white ones which were MUCH nicer!



The day that I fitted the white driving lights I thought I'd paint my arches and bump strips gloss black (bumper bits soon )





They will be fitted as soon as the bumpers have been painted

I thought next, that as I've been a member on here since December, I would get the Sticker that says it all....



FO SHO!!!!

AND NOW the most recent thing!

I bought some black angel eyes of iw_lawrence (thanks mate!!) and they arrived yesterday (as right now its Thursday)
Fitted



NOW...got some work to done on the driver side light as I think something on the chassis is bust ( I think Taurus said it was a white clip)

So the Drivers side light currently sits like this





Thats My Corsa so far

Future Mods are, Renault Espace Splitter, Sort Drivers light, Corsa C SRi/Astra SXi Alloys, Colour code mirrors, put gloss blacked bumpers/arches and bump strips on, lower and some awesome Blue rear lights

Comments everyone

We spent like 3 hours trying to find a Corsa the same colour as my last one, Atlantis Blue , then came across that for £600 had to go to Huddersfield to collect it..BUT it did come with half a tank of petrol
It looks horrible atm as its covered in tree sap going to wash it on Sunday

[Michael [PD]]

Just found some pics of when I got the car

You can see just teh little bts that i've done

On one of the pics the dent in the wing is highlighted...got a new wing

Also when I got it it used to rev itself.
Took it to a garage in Rugeley and it got sorted for £51! Someone had adjusted the throttle! The mechanic just put the screw thing back to the factory place

[Michael [PD]]

Right, I sorted the Drivers side Headlight! was a bit tricky as I had to bang the panel a bit Yay for rubber mallets!!
Just got to get the small white bottom clip to make sure the light stays securely in
All in all..last night was quite an achievement

Then This morning I got delievery of my new Ultra bright White LED side lights looking fancy now I think (the last two thumbs )

[Michael [PD]]

Good morning all!
Just a quick update!
My new sidelights are in, and WOW!! They're bright

[Michael [PD]]

Im planning on getting some new rear lights

What do people think about these

Blue MHWs - rocking horse **** is an everyday occurence compared to these! I wanted some but ended up with clears...
Good luck finding them dude, I know of one supplier that still sells them, at a price of £155

[Michael [PD]]

ARGH!! That seems a bit expensive lol
I've been told of a set that were on eBay for £60 Buy It Now...purhaps I should have bought them then

Im thinking though...if I knew of a plastic person..purhaps they could fabricate me some

Hi mate, I've had a little look on eBay for some Blue rear lights.. Check these.. they are a tint of blue, they have just been taken in a light room so they are difficult to see the true colour.. starting at £25.00
