Red Corsa, 1.2 8v

Post by paige1992 »

I'm quite new to the forum but been on here a bit now..I did post something on the ''about me'' section but thats the boring bit i suppose :lol:
sooooo i have decided it was time to post a Project Log...

Okayyy this is what it looked like...
It was very faded, as it is vauxhall red and they all fade no matter what..
so this was before a good polish:

Around the indicator was all manky..

Then after the good polish.. It looked like a new one :)

Shinyy 8)
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I then brought a debadged grill for it make it look a bit mean :lol:
and changed the interior a little bit..
in these few pic's it's filthy due to the weather and has faded a bit again needs all polishing again,
which will be done when the weather clears up a bit :)

Image

Image

Image

Interior..blue handles :)
Image

Image

Image

and thats about it up to now..
the plans though:
I have brought a gloss black spoiler that needs repaintin then it can go on..
All the moulding's i want goin gloss black aswell maybe mirrors dunno wether it wil look to much?
Got some 40mil's to drop on it..
And need some alloys, which i'm still lookin for as only had the car a month :lol:
all this will be done after christmas.. so hopefully there will be a big update..

Well thanks for looking and all comments welcome :D
