in all honesty mate, that is funking cool!!

love it! real different to see a 5 door. Get the LET in it! just dont forget an ATB or you'll be sorry... lol

i had a 5 door corsa as my first car, it was an L plate in opel aquarmine blue (TURQUOISE) lol was an import from somewhere - i found this out when i traded it in lol

Always wanted to GSi kit mine and paint it black, didnt have the money to do it though!

Re: corsa B project

update chaps lol, sprayed my rocker cover black as it looked horrid in the standard colour, not a brilliant finish but looks better







also it wont boost above 0.5 bar...i recently had the actuator changed, i wound it up a tad but it still wouldn't go above 0.5 so kept winding until it did go up but to a silly amount the ecu cut it out any clues?
