Progress/Timeline Of The Irmscher Corsa C

My first Car a Vauxhall Corsa 1995 1.2 8v






Crashed it into a clio sold it for parts I miss it

Then got this for my birthday

2001 Vauxhall Corsa 1.7DI 16V





Then i put the CD player from the old car into the Corsa



Then i got the rims



A pic at my first Corsa C Meet



Then put the Kosei Sticker on as i was bored and didn't have alot of funds



Then got my Alpine dvd player and a Necvox Screen fitted to the dash bits i had got sprayed


Hello Black Rears aswell as debadged the boot







Then got a sun Strip and went to the beach lol



Then Fitted the Sxi Skirts and Arches



Then got the powerflow exhaust on aswell with the new smaller font plates



Then decided to give it one hell of a clean before heading to portrush on the usual sunday nyt to cruise about













Then i found out that she was in total Vauxhall ( i sent the pic in after i had put the wheels on the car )



Then the coilovers arrived



Pics of coilovers fitted and waiting to settle in



Then they settled abit more



Went down and got some pics and posed along with the car



Then got bored again and thought i'd get some vinyl done





Then got Tints



And Then she sat like this for a at least 10 months whilst the saving was taking place



Until i bought all of this













Then came March when she was going to the Bodyshop for some paint

A Few pics whilst stripping the car down

No Bumper old lights!





Two Black lights and an irmy airdam



Back Of the Car stripped down



Bye Bye Bump strips



Off with the rails



one with angel eyes

Re: Progress/Timeline Of The Irmscher Corsa C

Here is some pics from the bodyshop









Heres a few pics of the car getting ready for paint (FULL RESPRAY)









And Here Are The Pictures When she was finished (taken about an hour after being lifted from bodyshop)















Then some pics at the first show she was at since the respray







Finally got the sri mirrors back from the bodyshop as they had a problem with the baseplates













give her a wash for a local show one day









i got a photoshop done cause i was thinking of changing the wheel at one time



Then went to pvs and bought a irmy steering wheel and armrest...no pics of them yet

Then i went for the wheel after seeing another aruba blue corsa with white wheels...so i got these









Then got a different aerial that actually works





then got some pics after i lowered the car a tad







Then one day i decided to lower it all the way on the coilovers at the back....so that is ET35 under them arches :P













And thats the way she sits now....After two years since the first
pic.....there has been another set of new coilovers put in before i got
them wheels

Thanks for taking the time to look

Re: Progress/Timeline Of The Irmscher Corsa C

nice work there, irmscher kit is always worth the extra money...

interesting to see it on a diesel too, that particular engine is **** hot and i bet it pulls well in a little motor like that

nothing but admiration!!!

Re: Progress/Timeline Of The Irmscher Corsa C

I would remove the rear badge and wiper to tidy up the bootlid, IMO. The kit fits the car well. I preferred the original white wheels. How come you have removed the angel eyes? On the whole though, a good looking car.

Re: Progress/Timeline Of The Irmscher Corsa C

Following the crowd here, I thought the first wheels were more individual and suited the car. Prefer the original lights too; cleaner, less fussy.
