project corsa vxr updates on body work and leather trim

[wassy78]

well I didn't think I would own a corsa . but I said that about the saxo .... just after Christmas I said to my self I wanted a fiesta 1600s ... so I managed to find a white one at a good price to only having it less than a month ...omg there slow as fuck . so traded it in for a corsa vxr . few bits wrong with body work but as im busy got it booked in for that to be done today while its there im taking the seats out and putting blue alcantara in the middle of the seats . im on the understanding the car has a stage 2 on it pops and farts like mad im loving it at the min .... heres how looks now and the firsta did have . gutted as love the look I just didn't want to spend loads on engine knowing there still not going to be quicker for the money people wanted

lol I don't know yeah im def working on the engine on this one . I don't think its going to be mad as the hulk but I want it different to any other vxr out there . like the saxos people where saying there chav cars so want to show they don't have to be

I dont think you'll struggle to make this one different. I've seen a few modified VXR's and they're all done the same... Low and a nice set of wheels.
I think we all know you can do better blindfolded lol.

I shall be watching your progress on this one, too :)

[wassy78]

yeah ive been on vxr forum past few days all the bloody same

[craigyt]

Iv got one, stripped caged and stg3. You cant go any more than 250bhp max or the engines go bang! Mines been stg3 since new in 07 so treat it well and youl have no problems!

Has owt been done handling wise? There a bit poop as standard in that department, but notcquite as bad as the astra!

Looks nice though and definately the best colour!!

[BSM_CITROEN]

i have a corsa VXR nurburgring edition, lovely car and the diff is great.... that is one thing i would say you should 100% do to eliminate the common understeer :D

[wassy78]

well cars in the garage all strip, seats door panels are out only had the car a bloody week lol

[wassy78]

well here we go again few more pic of how its coming along

[big-saxo-guy]

cant wait to see the results

[Jamie]

Looks nice mate, nearly bought one of these many moons ago but the dealer didn't think I had the cash! Mugged me off until I rocked up in a new EO Focus ST3.

Quite nippy and sound very fruity with a decent system. Can't wait to see what you do to it. Arden blue FTW.

I thought any mods were a no go with those insurance boxes?!?!

I live my life a respray and retrim at a time. Nothing else matters: not the insurance box, not the monitering, not my insurance company and all their bullshit. For those them 2 mods or less, I'm free.

[Giraffe]

Apparently it's only for the mileage...

And JohnG just made a funny post, I don't know what to do.

[smiith]
