Mattchewone's Corsa Progress (UPDATE Post #79 LOWERED)
Well as some of you may know i have bought a 2005 54" plate Corsa 1.2 SXI 16v Twinport in Black!
Here she is -
Nice Arty Shots -
Plans are fairly simple really, when and if i can afford to do so that is - - Keep the standard HU and wire up some comps and possible a Sub
- Angel eyes (but havent decided yet
- De-Badge and De-bumpstrip

It's nice buddy and plans sound good.
I'd get some SRI mirrors too, as one went past me yesterday with white wheels and it looked very nice.

rear tints will make it look van like. You can make these look nice, just a shame 99 percent of the owners can't! Stay away from gt3, shite exhausts...

Subtle.

Nice little motor dude! Big improvement on the old saxo
Plans sound good too! depending on the size of your wallet, you should go euro!

Afraid they wouldnt take it so im still lumped with it at the moment. Deciding on either stripping and selling for parts or sell it for like £500 cheap or something

Looks like a cracking little motor mate. Big improvment on the saxo!
Plans sound nice but i'm sure i've seen the white sri wheels on a black on before. Be original imo

poorly made, shocking fitment, sound rubbish (back box only ive heard)
bros got one on his, imo if your going to do something you might aswell do it properly as you will more than likely change it at a later date

Agree with that 100% every one just goes big rims.
white sri rims, lower 40-50 and de wiper and irmsher(sp) grille, will look very tidy.
or even lower get some coils and make it look like this beast.

That last pic looks mint. Not to sure if i want to lower it or not yet.
I think ill look into getting one of the goose exausts. But i do want to de-rubstrip and de-badge it though.
I would like some EXCLUSIVE wheels in white but they are extremely rare. I could do the SRI wheels in green or orange lol.
