This is my Corsa/Nova GSi...

As you can see she wasn't that good looking when I've bought her...

So I've started to bringing it back to how she spoused to look like:) First GSi emblem on the left door, then the grill logo, red bumper stripes, matt blend whit GSi logo

When she was almost ready, I've started to add some extras... Like new Dare X1 rims, FIFFT smoked back lights, smoked side indicators and rear mud flaps, inside if changed standard sun visors for illuminated ones from Vectra and put the Recaro badges on the seats... In the meantime I've bought second Corsa GSi for spare parts... It's not easy to find GSi parts in Poland and because I needed a few parts, for me it was like a gift from heaven... Green windows, metal frames around the windows, black interior parts... This is hard to get... Now, after fitting the missing parts, and the extras she looks like this

In most europeon countrys the number plates stay with the owners and you tax the plate not the car!

I really liked your car, is very elaborate.

What model are the seats? And that steering wheel is very handsome, very original, but with a touch of racing.

Greetings.

According to "Corsa Tuning und Zubehor" brochure it's originally for Corsa/Nova :) The back mudflaps are also here

From which car did you take the side indicators or which car do they fit ?

Thank you. I also own a GSi I am working also on details HARD TO FIND !!!

Not so in the Netherlands. But then we have the most uninteresting plates in the world so who cares? :p

The only downside I see is we get new reg numbers on imported cars, and we get a funny small digit on plates that have been re-issued which looks dodgy. :wtf:
