Welcome to the site.  :grin: It might not be my cup of tea but I can appreciate the time, money and effort you've put in to your cars, especially the black one, mind I bet the red one is a bit of a sleeper and surprises a few people.  :grin: I'm sure there'll be some friendly banter about the corsa's but I'm sure you'll understand !  :grin: :grin:

i understand the corsa haters and waiting for the banter  :laugh:
same as a VW owner coming on a corsa Site as sassy knows  :grin:

end of the day think the black corsa people will like as its not OTT its got a rally look to it (white stickers have gone btw just Revs wanted them for the shoot)
and the red one cos it is only a everyday run about and it funny cos its fast  :shocked:

some more pics taken from my 10 page feature in total vauxhall

im not too keen on corsa's, but thats the 1.2's with anything bigger than 16" alloys.

i have big respect for the people that stick 2ltr + engines in their cars.

So if that is not OTT then what is?

You must have invested a lot of time, effort and money in it to get it looking like that, it is not my cup of tea at all but I will say it looks very good if you know what I mean, just you wont see me driving anything like that. :grin:

Hey, welcome.

Take it easy on non-golf owners. I currently fall into that category cos I'm running a Polo 1.4. But in my defence, I've only ever had VWs and I've had 3 golfs before this.
I just need to save up for my next GTI.
