Hi I'm from Perth Western Australia and just got my license. My first car is a completely stock gsi barina (corsa b) with 137000km and I picked it up for $1000AUD

Also put a shark fin antenna on it to take off that ugly skyscraper antenna

Car is in perfect condition apart from the two dents in the back and some paint fade

Hope u guys like it and would be great if I could get some rims suggestions and recommended bits and pieces

That is a lovely car, though I'd say it's the equivalent to the Corsa Sport here in the UK

Yer what is the corsa sport. Cos over here its just the barina with the dreary 1.2 carb (which i also have) and 1.4 and the gsi 1.6. The rego says its the gsi (but i guess they dont really know sh*t)

Very nice base :) looks near immaculate

The sport was a gsi without the Gsi bodykit, they did this because the Gsi badge was throwing insurance premiums through the roof, they did the same with the Sri here but I don't know if oz ever got the Sri

Your car should have a Gsi kit, but I'd imagine someone with a 1.2/1.4 bought your car took the kit off and sold it on

This is what it should look like

One thing that is kinda bugging me is at the bottom of the front bumper there are little slots. Wondering if there is a front lip or extension that would fit it
