Multiple projects by Johnny
Thought its about time i did a project thread
Bought the car about 6 months ago after i decided my black corsa will be a rally car
So i bought it like this
And first thing that was done was got rid of the horrid alloys for these
Then decided to do this
Drums calipers and rocker painted yellow
Smoked depos where next
Then decided i wanted the fans white so off came the fans for the fox crap alloys and a sun strip and irmersher sticker
Hids are next so will update when there wired up
Any comments good or bad welcome

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Arden 1.2 16v
Cherry bomb sounds nice but they take a while to break in so should sound better in a couple weeks
Yellow stripe was on when i bought it and just never took it off lol have to say though it looks alot better in person
