How come whenever some one wants to make their car individual and stand out, they do the same stuff to it that everybody else does?
And fully comp insurance, at 18 with 3 points for £450? What's the story there?
Exactly... I smell something fishy here. Either :And fully comp insurance, at 18 with 3 points for £450? What's the story there?
A) Fronting
B) Lying
C) Trolling

Meh...still it can't be just £450 on his car unless there's some dodgy maths involved. To put my wife who got her license for 2 years on my multicar policy still cost me a significant amount.
lol i can promise u guys it is i see the bill in all honesty i think it was cos they needed to meet a quota or something so gave us a good price keep in mind they got 4 cars with this policy my sisters my car and both my parents cars so they got a lot of extra business any ways lol why would i lie would be no point to lie

Insuring my 3rd car on a multicar policy was so cheap it was almost silly not to, but declaring the mods really bumped up the price.

With four cars, he might be right. But I very much doubt that all the mods are declared.

I know insurance had all the mods included when we phoned up they asked and we told them every mod it had

Was in the exact same boat! Bought the dreaded chavtastic corsa for £2k, went through 2 different sets of wheels, massive sub in the back, induction kit, lowered 45mm etc. Must have easily spent nearly £2k on the piece of s
t, only to sell it 2 years later for £500. I think mostly all of us in here have been through that stage. But you soon learn that, no matter how much you spend on it, itl always be a corsa!
My advice, do what you want to your car! Aslong as your declaring mods and driving safe!
Get yourself a haynes manual and learn how to maintain it. Itl save you money at the end of the day.
Maybe look into joining corsa d forum or whatever, as im sure theyl have how to sections and for sale sections that will come in handy.
Goodluck

Jesus, give the lad a break. When I was his age I was into this sort of thing too, he's shown you his pride and joy and you've all slated him.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother looking round these forums with dheads like you lot about.
Way out of line, the OP has not had a hard time here. If anything all it's been is light hearted banter. He's posted his car and asked for criticism. He got it. Sometimes I wonder why I bother looking round these forums with d
heads like you lot about. The way I read it, most of us have been there and done it.
Would I commend someone for doing it too? No.

I just kept it stock and enjoyed it for what it was.
The only thing I did was take the hub caps off mine I just kept it stock and enjoyed it for what it was.
The only thing i've added to my Focus is an aux port for i-pod connectivity.

OP I'm not sure your car is to my taste but fair play to you for posting it here at not running away after the slatting some have given it

I kept my Mazda 323 as standard except for changing the standard tape player to a cd player then spend a bit of money making my second car track worthy (Scooby)I just kept it stock and enjoyed it for what it was.
OP I'm not a fan of the sticker or the wheels or the all black look. Try not to spend much on it.
If you like it then that is all you should worry about.

A little up date:
The coil overs i bought for the car have arrive, annoyingly one of the front shocks are broken so have sent an email to the company about it.
(had another picture of the whole set but was too big to post up on here)
What make are the coilovers? How did they break? Not sure I'd be fitting them to my car of they can't survive manufacturing or transport. The coil overs i bought for the car have arrive, annoyingly one of the front shocks are broken so have sent an email to the company about it.

they are JOM Coilovers not actually sure if the the prong parts are needed of if they are just there for fitting the piping and cabels but if u look at the bottom of the coil overs a part is bent at like 30 degrees. i dont see how it was damaged in the transport of it so must of been carelessness at the work shop or something
