Took ages to get round to this 
But i bought an xe, booted it about till it broke silly me 
So outside wise, it's getting new grill, and the bonnet resprayed, thats it!
Under i've replaced all hoses, timing belt, water pump, new handbrake, new wishbones, also anti roll bar installed, quickshift with nylon bushes. The engine is going to bogg brothers to get my bike carb setup, h&H ignition installed also.
It's currently running gmax suspension which will be changed before it's on the road also, Full 6 point cage to be put in also

I put Bilstien b12 setup on it, braided brake lines, sold the speedlines, got on black steelies with toyo tyres removed the v-grill too! tidied up the engine bay anything that isn't needed is gone  it's very bare but i like it!
pics later, looks nice and sleeper!
heres some pics, but i didn't clean it nor have i fitted new black arches! while i did my suspension my mate did his brakes for his scooby! big 8 pots and 6 pots for back!
His and mine (in the background)
i shoulda got better pictures but my cam don't have batterys and i spent all my money on the car

Looks good in the 1st pics but why on earth have u favoured steelies over speedlines??I dont get it.
And keep the V-grill.Most corsa's have a slatted grill nowadays,the v-grill looks far far better.
Ive seen that Scooby up at crail.I recognise the "Jeem" sticker on the window.

whats static balanced?
if weights on the inside, my caliper would take them out, theres NO room between wheel/brake.

you could just get them to balance them by putting weights on the inner lip then you wouldnt see the ones on the outside.
