my 1st corsa project

gareth9989 · 13-08-2009, 09:02 AM

haha well its gonna take me a while,
1)because i dont really have much money
and b) because i dont really know how to use this web site properly yet lol!

ive got a blue 1.2 corsa b w reg and im looking to spruce it up a bit, jsut not sure what to get or quite how to do it.

ive already de-badged it (smooth boot ftw)
and got some rather nice seat covers (at a bargin!)

but yea now i have to wait till pay day

gareth9989 · 07-10-2009, 08:37 PM

yea so i have actually slowly done stuff i just havent got photo bucket sorted, cot some nice seat covers, its debadged, de-bump stripped which left funny lines, sorted the lines out with a heat gun

adding some corsa mudflaps next time a sunday/mondya has nice bloody weather!!! getting a badgeless grille, and blue lights for the dash and mfd or what ever its called. cant think of alloys yet because ive got no money. ha! any thing else easy to do i should try? (saveing for lights front and rear)

Really would make a more interesting read, if you had pics

Corsa_Alex · 07-10-2009, 09:45 PM

yeah get some pics if you can, if you don't know how to upload just ask cause loads of people will be able to help you out

also this thread will need to be moved to "project and builds" lol, but a moderator will do that for you i expect

but back on topic, your plans sound good to start with, thought about getting windows tinted?

umm, cheapish things you can also choose from would be gsi spoiler, colour coding interior stuff, if you got a bit more money then have look into some ICE =). can't think what else at this minute, but once you got some pics up then i'll be able to give you more advice

gareth9989 · 08-10-2009, 08:35 AM

gareth9989 · 11-10-2009, 04:17 PM

Cheers gave it a mega polish once I managed to get the glue marks off the side lol badgeless grill and windo tint next

gareth9989 · 13-10-2009, 11:35 AM

I dunno what to do with the boot lock, I'm gonna get some black smoke lights for the back, and don't know weather to colour code it blue or just get it back to nice and black to match the lights/tints i'm gonna get,

Colour coded is nice, but I like the whole black and blue theme... What do you think?

gareth9989 · 15-10-2009, 09:12 AM

oh yea and what do you think if i got the same flaps for the font? i think it might look a bit much..

doyle369 · 15-10-2009, 09:25 PM
