Sadly, Im not French.. Or maybe thats a good thing *-)

Anyway, I love cars so I thought it was only respectful for me to learn as much as a I can about them

I've got a Corsa C SXI at the moment (i know it's not the best car in the world, but its mine ;P), so I'll be beginning to smarten her up a bit once I begin raising the funds. I've done some of the cheap/free mods first. Im currently in the process of colour coding her, which is going well so far.

Next plans are to start buying parts to build up to a 1.8 SRI conversion, so I'll probably be looking for tips on that when the time comes ;P

Looking forward to speaking to you all.

Welcome buddy.
What been done so far then?

**Loken** · 12-12-2009, 08:04 PM

So far, Debadge, Cupra splitter, Sprayed the V Grille and Bumpstrips gloss black, replaced all interior LEDs to a blue theme, Flatblade wipers, Swapped the headlights for Nightbreakers and im in the process of removing the rear wiper but its a bitch to get off ;P

Had to fork out for a new engine not too long ago because I had a leak in my coolant system, which led to a broken head gasket which damaged the head. The car had done 100k miles by this point so we decided to replace the engine with one that had done 40k and a new center and back exhaust for my MOT, but they're still standard as i don't want to go down the exhaust route while the car is still a 1.2.

I love it to pieces, but its a shame seeing so many idiot boy racers driving around in the same car. I haven't seen a black C like mine around locally though, so thats a plus I guess.

A fellow corsa enthusiast! in my view corsa sxi is the best car available. obviously.

What more visual mods are you looking to do? sound good so far.

Hoping to finish off the colour coding over Christmas. Once I save a bit of money I want to buy some sri's and have them in gloss black
