Arden blue B 1.0

Post by CORSABM8 »

Never posted on here before 8) , been a member on Corsasport for a while but its not really about corsa's on there anymore :lol: 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 :)

Image

Image

Image

Image

Did the usual things to start off with..

Got some heko wind deflectors off my parents for my birthday,

Image

Image

Got a mesh de-badged grill, had the slatted one on my old one but that didnt fit very well
before
Image
after
Image

Some pressed plates + put my punto wiper on
Image
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

Image

Image
much better

Image

Image
bit blue :lol:

Then i decided i'd de-bumb strip this one after seeing lots around with them off

Image

Image

Image

Image

all done :cool:

Image

left abit of white underneath though :boggle:

Image

This is how the car stood.

Image

Image

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 :lol:

also tinted my side repeaters, came out well for a first go imo

Image

Image

Fit MHW's
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Then got some Cav expressions and got them on 8)
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

thats how the car stands at the moment, lots of plans + updates to come :)

I presume you're going low with this with low profile tyres?

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 :)

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
