Discussion
Having lurked and pitched in the odd post for a while, I thought I should open myself up to get slated by puting up some pictures of the corsa.
I know not to a lot of peoples taste (since it's a corsa
) but I love it, great wee car to have as a first car. Pretty underpowered, but does ok, certainly good fun in the corners without getting up enough speed to kill myself.
Everyone will be happy to know, it's not going to get modded beyond recognition (the only thing done at the moment is the roof spoiler, since I think it's nice and subtle, but stops the car looking like a shoe) maybe paint the grille black soon since I'm really not a fan of chrome, let alone plastic immitation chrome.
Hope theres not too much flaming

as long as you're happy thats all that matters
Cheers silent1, I did tell imageshack to do it 800x600, but guess it decides for you 
It's just the 1.2 SXi. It is my first car, purchased by the rents for joint use (basically so I could ferry them up from the pub )
Mark, the spoiler is by irmscher, but was an option when buying the car, so arrived like that. Would like to get it lowered a tiny bit, but insurance won't let me do any performance mods.
Cheers everyone.

No problem, the problem was you had image name.th.jpg which on imageshack means it produces a thumbnail for you. It's just the 1.2 SXi.

As for modifying it, don't bother for a year or 2, your insurance will be outrageous for a while anyway and if you save your money you'll be able to buy a quicker car sooner than if you do a few things to make it slightly quicker.
That's how at 20 i had a VX220 and a MINI Cooper S.
Looks smart. I went to a Vauxhall/Suzuki dealership when I bought my Swift, wasnt over impressed with the Corsa myself but my friend who works there had one as a company car and he liked it (and he didnt just say that cos he a salesman for them)
Did have a little drool over the VXR Artic they had there though

Very nice mate, Blackness Castle i see. I stay in Bo'ness (moved there last year.) Drive a mk2 golf gti - give me a wave!
I'm sure I've seen you before (I remember having a little drool over a mk2 gti ) but I'll be sure to look out for you.Carmadgaz, if you like the arctic, have a gander at these http://www.ukcorsa-d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70... now they're tastey
ETA: Nothing about porformance figures in the link, but the VXR-S puts out 220bhp and 250ft/lbs (0-60 in 5.8s) and the VXR-R puts out 230bhp and 260ft/lbs (0-60 in 5.4s).
