My 1L beast :)

Post by Big C »

i got my car in august 2009 and only been able to do little bits at a time to it as lack of money but here are some pics of when i bought it.

Image
Image
Image
i put a sticker on straight away and got a lil C'MON guy.
Image
Image
the first thing i did was buy upgraded door speakers for it and also a 12 inch FLI sub and alpine head unit.

Then bought some new rear lights and got a corsa spoiler for it which i sprayed black
Image
Image
Image

Got some alloys and sprayed them black as well bought a new back box
Image
Image

Then went round and back to blacked recently
Image
Image
Image
Image
and de-badged the boot button
Image
and put a few new stickers on.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

i'm waiting for my mate to be free so i can weld up the boot recess and respray the boot before people say about the paint on the boot or the grey bits from the old numberplate and im looking for a 60mm lowering kit at the minute.

opinions welcome :)

i noticed the other week that the back to black had faded so i decided to get the spray out so i took off the front and rear bumper and the wheel arches and sprayed them black i also sprayed the splitter black as that had faded and i hadn't put back to black on it before, i also sprayed the grill just behind gromit the same colour as my car and the boot button cover which i had debadged i refilled as you could see where the holes were and sprayed that the same colour as my car. plus i put my new grill in as i broke my standard one trying to take it to bits, here are a few pics :D

jrdz92: cheers mate :) i seen ur topic urs is looking pretty smart, i don't really wanna sell my alloys cuz i like them to much lol how come u wanna change from the ones u got?

moodye: thanks im pretty happy with it at the min other than it not lowered lol and i did think bout it but then i fort if i fully smooth the boot then when i come to sell this car it closes the market off to a lot of people cuz it aint got the boot button so they would be like it would make it difficult to open the boot but on my next corsa i shall go fully smoothed i promise u :thumbs:
