Thanks for your useless reply opinion rolleyes
Just because someone doesn't like it doesn't mean you have to get defencive.

I think it looks horrible IMO, but so what, its your car to do what you want with it.

I would have said chavtastic if he didn't beat me to it. Chin up smile

I've grown tired of those comments. I think that the saying "aint got nothing nice to say... etc" is useful here.

Also, i did point out, i didnt need everyone's negative opinions again,

Posting things like " a cheeky handbrake" in a industrial estate on this forum, probably isn't the cleverest of ideas...

Not a fan of the wheels, but you did a good job on the vinyl on the interior.

Thought I was coming off on a slip road. It wasn't a slip road. It was a tight left hand bend.

Well, i like it mate. Looks awesome, especially for a 5 door model. I am slightly biased though being a corsa owner myself. You considered the SXI rear lights for it,????

Don't like the mud flaps, but I love the vinyl! Need to figure out if I can use some in my car!
Go on, try it on the wheels! You can always take it off again!

It just wouldn't work. It needs to be tucked under something for it to stay on. It works on the windows because its tucked behind the door and the window seals. Plus i dont know how long it will last exposed to the elements. I know my bike with it all on has started to loose its colour where my leg has been rubbing against it. Plus i dont want to waste many more hours with the stuff. It takes a life time to do!

Unless I have missed something - you are 16?

How are you getting to all these locations for pictures?

Decent first car. I went for a 206, did drive the Corsa though. Ended up going for something that was local.

Keep it, learn in it, dent it, scuff it, love it. Sell it and move on in a few years.

So therefore, don't waste all your cash on it.

Take it from someone who has been there/done that. Bought a Focus for £7k, spent £4k on mods and some more cash on higher cost of insurance due to mods. Wish I had that £5k in my pocket at this moment in time.

Got ya - thread started over a year ago.

I think you need to stop messing with the Corsa.

It's got gradually worse in the last 12 months.

It now looks kinda silly.

The above is a said in a friendly way.

Ah all taken into consideration. I have spent around £200-£300 mark on mods to this. I personally think its worth it. I like to add personal modifications to the cars and bikes i own. Why? Well because im a petrolhead and i enjoy it. If i had i knew about car mechanics and could affort the insurance for engine modifications then i'd do that. But i dont. So its just visual modifications. I'd possibly be able to make a good £100-200 quid back on the modifications i've spent when i come to putting the car back to standard for selling.

Anyways. The best modifications for me where the vinyl. The exterior ones that i fitted yesterday cost me £2.20 and about a hour and a halfs work. Then the interior cost me around £7 and a good few hours to do. Big change from standard and i like it.

Flanders.

Kurt have you thought of getting the Wing Mirrors off an SRi? Apprently they are really hard to find, but they look really good.
