Welcome to the site :)

Maroon was always one of my favourite colours on the corsa
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Thank you!
I would like to have the windows tinted!
And what's your opinion on getting coil overs for it!
It's a little 1.2 and it runs well although when it's idle it's got a bit of a judder to it, and the engine light comes on! X

That's from a member here a while back, loved it bar the colour coded alloys

As andy said there's a lot of ways you can go with the corsa, and going through the project threads to get some inspiration

I was undecided wether to put mine in coil overs or upgraded shocks and lowering springs, I went with upgraded shocks and 40mm drop springs in the end just to have it a bit more practical than coil overs, unless of course you get top range coil overs like gaz or something then they would be spot on. I have my rear windows tinted and couldn't imagine habit having them done haha so yeah definitely get tints and then maybe some wind deflectors [emoji4] can't wait to see how you get on with it
