Looking good ste ya big gay

Ricky G
02-12-06, 03:04 PM
that looks ace fella. so little done but a massive improvement from standard. and not a stupid big bumper or max power sticker in sight. i like it.:thumb:

Ste L
02-12-06, 03:07 PM
also got a gsi bumper sat in garage with fogs and splitter, i may paint grey and fit, unsure at the min

Ricky G

i wouldnt do that mate. its your car obviously but the only thing i would put on that is a bad boy bonnet (not everyones taste) and obviously carry on twith the 2 litre conversion. its a brilliant sleeper like it is. just out of interest how much did you pay for it as standard as i may follow your footsteps. finding a decent white nova is harder than i thought it would be.

Ricky G
02-12-06, 03:23 PM
and please leave that side strip on. it breaks the car up a little bit and just looks right!

vaughanmc
02-12-06, 05:28 PM
set of mudflaps on would look good

Ste L
02-12-06, 10:20 PM
no, keeping the smoked headlights, not having quad lights, and not keen on black bonnet or a bay boyed one...

yes the side strips are staying on, along with all the badges

and yes, im want a set of 4 gm mud flags for it

Ste L
12-12-06, 12:49 PM
Fitted a GSI front bumper...
was red gave it a quick lick of halfrauds dark grey bumperpaint...

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5083/DSCI0002.JPG

unsure of it at the moment, if i keep it, probably spray it rover hurricane grey, same as wheels,

also the grille option, not got one for it, so either find a gsi one, or bodge a late type badge-less one onto it

or i might even put the original back on
choice's choice's....

Matt2107
12-12-06, 12:53 PM
GSI bumper looks nice.

How about using the same spray on the mirrors?

Ste L
12-12-06, 12:59 PM
the bumper is a diff colour to arches and rear, though it may of been a close match but no lol...

want bumpers, mirrors sprayed rover hurricane grey adventually....

Matt2107
12-12-06, 01:02 PM
Thats a shame... it must just be my monitor but the bumper looks spot on for the same colour as the arches.

It looks quite good without a grill as well.
You could smooth the semi circle bit in the GSI bumper and just leave it grill less?

ANDYRACER
12-12-06, 04:49 PM
Should look good with all the grey bits painted rover hurricane grey, personally id fibreglass that circle bit in the bumper and fit a badgeless grill and also get a smaller number plater.

Adam
12-12-06, 04:56 PM
Nice ste.

Deffo do the bumpers etc hurricane grey.

Wait till after winter do them tho, because stonechips etc

nova-boy-belfast
10-03-07, 10:48 PM
how far have you the coil overs wound down mate

Ste L
10-03-07, 11:30 PM
no engine bay doesn't need welding up on a corsa, but i'll probably fit the strenghening plates adventaully


coilovers are halfway down

Graeme789
11-03-07, 01:06 AM
looks so gd, just remove the rub strips and leave it like that for the outside and i actually prefer them with no gsi spoiler but that obviously personal choice!

Ste L
11-03-07, 02:01 AM
no, side strip's are staying, for the sleeper look

Graeme789
11-03-07, 02:30 AM

been having problems with gear linkages, the bar the goes across, that does the side to side engagment off the gear's kept poping off.. so kept getting stuck with just 3/4 gear, as it had no side movements..

whipped it off today and had a look. noticed it was split where the ball joint goes, hence why it kept poping off.

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5083/broken_linkage.JPG

luckly i had a spare linkage in garage to used that one, much better now :thumbs:

also gave the garage a tidy :lol:
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/5083/garage.JPG

and dropped the front of the corsa a few more mil's..
