Arden blue B 1.0
Never posted on here before , been a member on Corsasport for a while but its not really about corsa's on there anymore so thought i'd see what is like over here.
Well i got this about 7 weeks ago at the time of posting this, its my 2nd Corsa B and my second car.
The paintwork is not the best but theres hardly any rust, and its low milage
photos from the advert, as you can see its completely standard
Did the usual things to start off with..
Got some heko wind deflectors off my parents for my birthday,
Got a mesh de-badged grill, had the slatted one on my old one but that didnt fit very well
before
after
Some pressed plates + put my punto wiper on
not that impressed with these plates prefer the pressed ones i had on my old one, these are hardly raised at all.
swapped the bulbs over
much better
bit blue
Then i decided i'd de-bumb strip this one after seeing lots around with them off
all done
left abit of white underneath though :boggle:
This is how the car stood.
had to replace wheel caps as the others broke while cleaning the wheels, these are just some chepo ones i sprayed black.. they look gash and have been binned now
also tinted my side repeaters, came out well for a first go imo
Fit MHW's
Then got some Cav expressions and got them on
thats how the car stands at the moment, lots of plans + updates to come

If it doesn't fit,

If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Arden blue B 1.0
I presume you're going low with this with low profile tyres?

Re: Arden blue B 1.0
Will definitely be getting lowered. Nothing crazy for the time being, probably only 80mm.
I have a brand new set of FK's in the shed I'm just waiting for someone to fit them for me.
With regards to tyres, these ones came with the wheels and have a bit of life left in them, once they need replacing I will be getting lower profiles and will adjust the Coilovers accordingly

Re: Arden blue B 1.0
Mate, I can't see none of your photos, it just says "Look who's popular? Give Photobucket money etc"
From your caption I guess it's a photo of the side of your vehicle representing a boat? haha
