Hi, washed my Corsa today and thought I should show you what it looks like. Have got 17" TSW alloys, M3 mirrors, debadged and a few things inside. Have got some standard skirts but waiting till next year to get them fitted. Also got colour coded handles, a boot build and SXI dials coming. Pics of these to be posted soon.

Any comments welcome though.

I'd recommend them, makes the car stand out compared to others. It took me about six months to finally decide on these. Gona set you back a few quid tho.

Can get them in 17" with Toyo tyres, locking nuts for 575 I believe.

Sounds about right. Think mine were more or less the same price.

Have got an Irmy front lip spoiler, got to get my bro to spray it. He's doing the handles for me. Hoping to get a JC design spoiler sometime next year. As for the exhaust, haven't decided yet. But am planning to keep it fairly simple. I can't really afford to go mad as am modding a classic mini. Thats using all my money up but it'll be worth it when its done.

nice, clean and simple, get your bro to match the skirts at the same time as he does the spoiler.

My secret, well its been passed down my family through the generations and is a mix of rare skills and knowledge........basically some fairy liquid in a bucket of hot water and a car brush. Give it a soapy wash, go over with a sponge of cold clean water and wipe with a leather. :mrgreen:

Then stand back and admire.

Whats wrong with the soft bubbles? :mrgreen:

Couldn't be bothered with the T cut and it was just easier.

It takes the protectant off the paint.

Meguiars softwax gel, then use the meguiars quick clay, then 3 stage polish :)
