    Ideas for my corsa?

    Just got myself a free 5dr corsa b 1.5td with absolutely nothing wrong with it, wanting to start getting on with the modding though, got the pipercross induction kit coming on monday, the 40mm lowering springs have arrived so going to get them fitted on monday (would have went lower but the backroad to my house is a nightmare) 4 inch round back box should arrive monday, and fitting angel eyes tomorrow, plan is to go subtle, but not sure what looks best with what yet, ill throw some pics up when i get a chance and see what you think. If i found a cheaper way to get the car resprayed i would but atm what with being a student and all money is a bit tight so looking for cheap alternatives, was looking at a set of corsa c sri alloys to put on it, just waiting to hear back on a price. Currently is a burgundy colour with a few rust patches coming up on the corners of the doors etc.

    Ideas anyone?

    see Im not so much a fan of rat look as much, I like the smooth look, but I dunno what I should do smoothing wise, are popper mechanisms expensive? if not then I would think about smoothing the doors and boot, and maybe the body pannels, and get it resprayed depending on how much it is to get done, if I were to smooth the wole car should i get a subtle kit or keep it standard? need to pick the car up then ill put it up and let you loose, was thinking of doing some photoshop versions, see how it comes out.

    Normaly you want a alarm to run the poppers for the doors and boot, but you can get cheaper alarms now that will do the poppers. So smoothing boot and doors isnt a prob.

    Most bodykits suck balls, think gsi and such is i where you..
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    Its the GLS body thats on it, 1.5 TD GLS, out of interest Im putting a sub and amp in the back that Im getting from my stepbrother, but I dunno what wattage or anything the system is, will this have any impact on the head unit that I want to buy or can I pretty much get whatever one I want? Might go and pick the head unit up this evening if its the case that I can use any with the system, going to get angel eyes tonight too and probably fit them at the same time.

    nice one, looks like its back to the garage again on monday...starter motor has decided that when i want to take the car home that it wants to pack in, started after hitting it with a screwdriver while turning it over, got it goin eventually until i had to stop for diesel...ah well ill just get it fixed and hopefully it wont be another trip to the garage other than the lowering springs which hopefully will be done the same time as the starter motor.
