New car....girls version of a Nova

[muzzy]

Sold the Nova and bought a Corsa! It's a 1997 Breeze with 70k on the clock and 2 owners from new. When i got it on Tuesday it was completely standard and it is now lowered on Koni suspension all round, 14" alloys, debadged grille and a full Corsa Sport interior.

Got a 1600 8v (C16SE) to drop in along with some 2.0 16v brakes, planning on changing the spoiler at some point, changing the rear wiper arm and fitting a GSi/Sport spoiler.

i quite like the look of it with no spoiler, get the rear wiper arm sorted and it'll look nice and smooth

[muzzy]

Yeh i think the wiper might be all thats needed to make the back look less standard but still subtle, planning on getting an exhaust with 3" tailpipe or oval but not sure which yet

looks really nice. iv always loved that colour for a corsa. some of my fave corsas are green :)

[muzzy]

Wouldnt normally have gone for green but it was a very good price and im really starting to like it now!

[L33 LEG]

quick pic of one off CS. maybe nick some ideas off it :)

My mate sent me that exact picture when i was telling him i was going to be buying a green one. That is a lovely looking car, quite tempted by white wheels but they are a pain in the ass to keep clean lol

Would like the front bumper but seem to be hard to find and stupidly expensive too

looks decked :) love the gangster lean on the seats

Looking good so far mate, needs better wheels lose the pee shooter :p and sort that glue on the boot :wtf:

[Jack]

That CS one looks sh!t tbh

Sort out the glue on the back and it would look tidy. Nowt worse than a semi-debadged rear lol

That CS one looks sh!t tbh


:wtf:

[Pistol Pete]

New car looks good. Colour suits it well.

Yeah there is, people that 'debadge' moulded grills. Just why?

edit: CS corsa actually manages to pull off a fairly purposeful look for a bubble on wheels. Headlights are crap tho

:eek:

wrongz.

[muzzy]

Glue was taken off just after i took the pictures but i couldnt be arsed taking more lol

I was thinking about Morette headlights but i've gone off them quite a bit so ill probably just stick with standard and some smoked side repeaters

[Jack]

:eek:

wrongz.
Wheel colour doesn't suit the car, ill fitting quadlamps, naff bodykit (Ok its not the WORST by a long shot but still), too low, and I'm going to get shot down for saying this but I don't care - carbon bonnets look pretty gash on anything with a small stubby bonnet. Meh.

Yes I know my nova ticks all of those boxes too (aside from the too low one) but I don't care lol

[Spudly]

Have to say i agree with jack tbh, i think the op's corsa looks far better, they dont work with loads going on, same as novas imo.

On its ass, nice wheels nice exhaust = win:thumb:

Only problem i've found so far with Corsa ownership is that corsasport is the worst site ive ever used, chavtastic :wtf:

[Rysee]

Drove my corsa just before i sold it after 2 weeks of nova ownership, couldnt believe how chunkeh it felt, it was wierd

I never ever want to own one again<shudder>

[muzzy]

I didnt really like my old Corsa's but im loving this compared to driving a Nova, i dont think ill have another one for driving about anymore it just wasnt fun at all. I've still got my hatch so when thats built it will more than likely be just a track car

No they just dont like you :p lol

[dj_wudgey]

the one off corsa sport looks bad ass lol but yea your corsa looks beter allready mate!!

[muzzy]

No they just dont like you :p lol

I dont like them either so thats fine with me lol

Cheers for all the other comments, i think the Nova is going to be in storage for a while as ive not had the time lately to work on it and would rather put it away for when i do have time.
