My 1.1i flat arch - Saxperience

CorsaDestroyer · 21st May 2013, 16:38

Bought my first car a few months ago, might do a few subtle mods depending on what the insurance/bank are saying!

1.1i
90,000 miles

Gave it a good clean:

Removed the back window stickers:

Indeed a corsadestroyer. The 1.0 3 cylinder Corsa's. Wont have a chance with the 1.2s though.

Casual pic next to my dads Maserati! Haha can tell you got money so wanner see a good thread!

CorsaDestroyer · 21st May 2013, 17:56

Haha the 1.0's don't have a chance

& i'm not rich lol those Quattroporte's go for about 5/6 grand + (not saying they're cheap but still compared to a brand new family car not too bad)

The progress will be fairly slow unfortunately as i'm not even 17 yet D: just very keen to get started!

Got a couple plans though:

Lower 40 or 50mm all round
Nice Vtr/vts or aftermarket alloys
Sub + Headunit
Door speakers
Maybe back window tints
Bee sting short arial

Can't really think of anything else, want to keep it subtle, any ideas/suggestions welcome

OllieVigar · 21st May 2013, 18:16

Check my progress thread for ideas bud if it helps

CorsaDestroyer · 21st May 2013, 18:22

Yeah i'll have a look, cheers man

weve33 · 21st May 2013, 18:26

Not bad man

Richaard · 22nd May 2013, 06:57

How much are you paying for insurance?

CorsaDestroyer · 22nd May 2013, 07:30

getting quotes for about £2400 :/

Bit of an update, Sorted out a sub + a headunit:

Got some cheap leds for a laugh, (they're already out lol)

Got some packages in the post, shorter aerial + autoglym! :

Old aerial:

New aerial:

A comparison of the autoglym + how fainted the bumper was:

Got some wheel trims and a de-badged grill.

T-cut rear badges (I know, how original) with some poundland 'Scratch away' - about £4 cheaper than actual T-cut and works the same

Got cambelt ect done and a good service.
Had more plans for the car like lowering, rims ect, but I think I might just leave it as it is now and just keep it for a year then get a 106 quicksilver or something.
