    Red/Fuschia Pink Corsa B

    My Little Red Corsa B

    Hi there, I'm new to this forum, but thought I'd post up my project..
    I have a 1.2 8v vauxhall corsa in flame red, when I brought it, it was a faded pink, I didn't have a lot of money to be fair when i first brought it so didn't do alot to it, debadged it and got some slabs, then the restoration started.... I decided after nearly a year it was time for a change.... A respray... But same colour with a fuschia Pink metal flake all over, I got some new headlights, softstar alloys, mirrors, spoiler, basically everything, I could go on but i'm gonna bore you all and you just want pics

    So you get the hint anyway its had a respray, after about 3 weeks after someone smashed in the back of me , but got it repaired anyway so its good as new now, so heres from the very beginning to how she looks now in her own unique way

    Thanks for looking, any comments are welcome











    then the restoration started....
    steinmetz sideskirts fitted and arches in primer


    front bumper being smoothed


    primered bumper


    front bumper fitted after freshly painted


    nearly ready


    I'll add this before you start to wonder wheres this Fuschia pink glitter




    i'll start getting to the point, projects tend to drag on, but your getting the hint now
    glitter, looks smashing close up:


    finished project




    and then bang.


    back to new now though












    Hope you all like it as much as i do

    Thankyou for looking

    Love the front bumper mate, done a good job i think. Paint looks mint aswell. Preferred the slabs personally but each to their own. Good work

    Looks nice and clean mate. Love the smoothed front bumper but feel it needs something to finish it, Irmy splitter maybe.

    Re: My Little Red Corsa B

    I bet that gets the lad's attention, lass - I like the subtle, semi-stock look. I also liked the 'Monster' slash to the wheels, set them off nicely!
    Most people seem to go way the heck OTT.

    Having a good laugh at those who think you're a bloke - I'd've thought "Paige" and the colour choice would have tipped them off.

    Re: My Little Red Corsa B

    thanks guy's
    we kept this one subtle as we wanted to keep both cars at different ends, if you get what i mean,

    my bf has a bright orange one with a gsi kit,
    so with this we kept it the original colour but added the glitter, and just modified a few bit, and put nothing gsi on it
