Ideas for my corsa b

War · Post by **War** » Tue Dec 01, 2015 8:03 pm

Hi all,

So I brought my first car, corsa 1.4 cdx m reg she's only got 64000 miles on the clock, really tidy inside almost brand new a few patches of rust nothing major tho all surface (ATM anyway) I'm a slight novice and of course being young I want to tat her up a little bit so I'm just looking for some general ideas of thing I can do tbh ATM the car is standard! I've only had to change the rocket cover gasket since I've had her witch is as you will know cheap and easy fix,according to the service book the cambelt was down at 30 thousand miles when does it need doing again?

Also it says cdx on the v5 but says LS on the doors, bit weird? The vin number matches ect

Thanks in advanced

Welcome man
Cam belts usually every 60000 miles or 6 years I think which ever comes first. That's just what I've always been told.
You have any ideas in mind for what you wanna do?? Everyone is different when it comes to modifying, debadged grille and wind deflectors make a massive difference to the look of the car, there loads of project threads on here for inspiration buddy look forward to seeing what you do [emoji106]

If it aint the same buddy that is a shame as these are pretty rare to get hold of and tbh I think look pretty cool compared to standard if you need ideas look at my old project thread as be happy for you to use any ideas I did on yours

Il get a photo of her in the morning just to be sure we'll probably afternoon it will be dark when I leave, it just bugs me why it says LS on the doors and cdx on the logbook? I've insured her as a cdx to cover my own back my mate said to me that some one could of put new doors on this the car has only had 4 owners

Johnny will be the best one to help badge wise as he is pretty knowledgeable but the main bulk ive ever seen did have the cdx badge on but I do think there were some that were labelled ls but not to sure

Cdx is top model even came with the option of leather seats, so easiest way to tell is if you have electric mirrors and windows it's a Cdx and if it's an ls(lowest spec) it won't have a whole lot other than seats and a steering wheel

As for the pics andy posted there pre 97 irmy bumper trims, worth a mint to the right people
