Forums Forums CorsaJohn - Corsa 1.6 Sport

I'm shocked ?

Shocked to see you in what looks like a standard car.

I'm so used to seeing you in your old one,
and just knowing with out a thought.

O look there goes john..

Looks like a great buy,
Tidy and the colour is cool too.

Well done.

so ur going totally the opposite direction? whats that?

U doing a lawton? or focusing on "go" and not "show"

subtle an clean is my theme an as low as u can go

starting with today fittin suspension kit

stil need to lower the bk more eventually but its on 60mm now an hasnt settled

not bad, like the sound of what you have planned, my only niggle is that you've gone for another corsa! i know that you may be well familiarised (or however you spell it) with them but haven't you ever wanted something different? not dream car wise but something with 1.8 - 2.0litre power as standard or something classic or more up-to-date?

yup i have all these in mind matey but i always wanted to do a few things diff to a corsa although i dnt regret a single thing i did to the last one an for the last 2 yrs of driving i was on my mums insurance so this is the biggest size engine i could afford to insure really and its set in my mins to have it for another 2-3 years then sel on (maybe as standard) to get sumthing bigger and beta as i will then have 2-3 years no claims bonus

also i dont have the best job so this size engine suits me down to the ground as it is great on fuel

"also dewipered the boot an taken the sport badges off as there are alot of corsa "breezes" in this colour but its rare to find the sports in em"

Why take the wiper off? uve not gained a smooth look,u just have a black circular blemish on ur boot now

And why take the sport badges off? now people could think u have a breeze when u dont. U have a top model so why not show it off

taken sports badges off as i think side off car luks clutered with all the badges on

as the rear wiper i did this for the same reasona and i think it looks alot neater, hows it a blemish????? and i never said it gains the smooth boot look did eye?????

Its a blemish in the fact its a pointless black dot,which imo looks pointless,and a wiper is much more practical.

as for the basge removal,it does look better gone but ur earlier description made no sense
("taken the sport badges off as there are alot of corsa "breezes" in this colour but its rare to find the sports in em")

But,as long as u like it better now,just IMO it looks daft having a black spot where something should go

the "black spot" is called a gromet an its hardly a blemish its there to stop water getting iside the boot, so it does hold a purpose!!!!

i went for over 6 months without a rear wiper on my last one wen i had a smooth boot an it didnt trouble me one bit so ur statement about practicality is crap.

that sentence i made does make sense, they made alot of lower models in this colour an not many in the sports so to any tom dick an harry this is prob a 1.1 meaning dicks on the road will just pass me by where as if i have the sports badges on other cars of same performance would be egging for a race which i dont want,

only the people that take the time to come have a proper look at my car "not boy racers" will then find out it is a sport an they are the people i would rather talk to

Looks Better John
