Ok I thought I would post what I have done 2 my car, took some pictures.
My car is a Vauxhall Corsa B style 1200cc 16V (i think) P reg, so thats 1997 i think.
I think it's a really nice little runner for my first car.
Ok first of all lets say I changed the standard Wing mirrors and colour coded them, some plank broke 1 of my standard ones
Image
They are BMW M3 Style Mirrors.

Secondly, I got a new back box fitted, and I really like it. It’s not loud but has a very nice BRR tone 2 it, and excuse the fact that its dirty at the moment.
Image
That only cost me 75 pounds in total to buy/fit the exhaust, n mine was rusty so it needed doing.

I recently bought a new head unit, http://www.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct. ... +CD+Tuners

£350 pounds down to £175 in a sale clearout, so i snapped it up, fitted it n its great, here are several pictures
Image

Image

It even has a remote!!
Image

My subwoofer is a Mutant X 1000Watt package, which was a bargain! I bought it from some site that had a sale and the 1 I choose they had sold all of them so they gave me the upgraded model :D
It is fairly big, but fits!
Image

I have some rubbish amp which I plan on changing when I come into more spare money, but it does do the job well for the price, was only like 40 pounds or so
Image
I know its messy but I’ve not finished tidying it away, this is what I want it to look like when I have finished it
Image

I have replaced the door speakers with mutant x 6 inch maybe, I don’t remember but i took no pictures as my car's door cards cover them up, and i had no rear speakers, so I put 6x9 Mutant X's in my parcel shelf
Image
They sound really good, when i buy my new amp, I’m going to run these off my current amp, and the sub of my new amp.

I also have a Amp remote switch knob by my steering wheel so it’s very easy to turn up or down, I REALLY recommend having one of those.

I did all the wiring my self, thats why its a bit messy, it also happens to be very messy down the side of my car as i am yet to hide all the wires, i need a stupid star shaped allen key.

What do you think?

Looking good man.

I am personally a fan of the doors. They look really nice.

Just thought I would update on my car :P

I neatened my boot and attached the amp 2 the seat.
Image

I placed some tweeters where my mirror handles used to be
Image

My gf bought me some Lexus style lights for my car as well, much nicer than my standard ones
Image

I also have a remote for my amp so I can control the sub for different songs
Image

Thought I would show you a picture of the front of my car 2 :P
Image

What do you think?
