Silver Corsa B

Post by gazza_no7 »

Finally I thought I would make a Project Log!
Car needed a good bloody clean! :lol:
This is only a budget project as the apprenticeship I am on is awful pay...

The mods that I have done are:
De-badged grill
De-badged the boot and the club symbols from the side
Tinted my rear lights
few stickers on
new aerial
Alloy Wheels
6x9 speakers
Changed door speakers
Xenon bulbs (haven't fitted yet)
Smoked Side repeaters

Few pics that I have (reformatted my computer and lost all my stuff but these i had saved on my phone)
De-badged grill
Image
Smoked side repeaters
Image
De-badged boot + smoked rear lights
Image
Silver bee sting aerial
Image
Vauxhall alloy wheels
Image
Interior
Image
6x9 in parcel shelf
Image
Corsa b sticker
Image
Vibe sticker
Image
Nom Nom sticker
Image
Xenon bulbs
Image
Vauxhall dust caps
Image

Suggestions and tips welcome :)
Got a few things in mind to do next:
Lower 60/40
take off bumper strips
rear window tints (limo black i think...)
Alloys sprayed black
New sportex back box
Spray greyish trim anthracite
Maybe smaller tyres as i got 195/55/R15 but tbh i want 195/45/R15 as they look better in my opinion! :)

looks like the bee sting is trying to escape by unscrewing itself slowly until it can disappear :D

looks very smart for a standard corsa tho fair play :) and for an aerial try finding an astra coupe aerial as its a standard black one but shorter than a standard corsa one and looks smarter than a b-sting as that doesnt seem to fit very well towards the base of the aerial.

Thank you very much :) I will look out for one! yeah its just that few mm too long, was either going to chop it down or just get a new one :p i might take my bumper strips off on sunday if its decent weather :) tar remover works well on getting the glue poo off? took me ages to scrub the stuff off from my badges... lol

There is this kind of mould or something on the base of the aerial... any tips on getting it off? i tried just scrubbing it but didnt get all of it off...

Need some decent days worth of weather so i can take off my bumper strips and paint my wheels! :D
