Lawton - Corsa sport

thought i had best make a thread up,
some of you might of seen it at pvs and trax 2006

i bought it in jan 05 like this with the alloys, lowered 40mm, peco backbox and pipercross induction and clear rear lights.



i then lowered it 60mm, fk grill, smoked headlights, pvd induction and a small number plate until i got a fine for that, :lol:



the some ultra smoked rear lights were fitted,


then i got my wheels refurbed with new tyres in bmw grey with black in the laquar and some replica gsi side skirts,



bucket seats, and some interior dash parts were painted smoke grey,


later spec sport door cards were then fitted with custom door pockets with 6x9s in,



then a full sportex exhuast was fitted which incuded, back box, middle box and de-cat


then i found a mint calibra leather interior, seen havent seen one this mint,



then came a magnex 5x3 cat back and a tigra scuttle panel



then came one of favorite mods, a semi smooth boot and window wind deflectors



then came some mhws off dave a


and then my favourite mod
gsi front bumper with recees smooth out and grill modified, irmscher rear bumper with towing eye smooth out, morettes, tops of bumpers, arches and skirts sprayed if ford antherite,



then a removed one of the lenses from the morette for a cold air feed, painted the inlet manifold, carbon fibre rocker cover, carbon oil cap, carbon brake fluid cap, carbon header tank cap, carbon battery cover and omp strut brace, bmc induction


most recent mod, re-fitted most of the painted dash parts with standed ones and paited door handles black with some vectra chrome handles,






got bored of the morettes so put my old smoked headlights back on and fell in love with the front end, it looks so much smoother with them on,











also got a rear omp bolt in cage, its painted in white with a blue pearl, looks spot on:thumbs:







needed some new tyres so was searching ebay and came across these,
with rainsports on the front and pilots on the back with 4mm i decided to watch them, ended up winning them at £122, bargain for a set of softstars,
put them on today and only managed to get pics when it was going dark, will get better ones tomoz




too dark for my liking so will spray them soon.

finished respraying the wheels, sprayed them smoke grey, same colour as the car, just waiting for the new centre caps to come through the post and then ill get some proper pics,





my new irmscher centre caps arived today


got a fire extinguisher the other day,
also fitted my rear omp strut brace and bolted the cage in properly,
