that's looking sweet as.... stealth!

except for those rear lights, I'd get them tinted to suit the theme IMO they just stand out too much

[mr_sikma]

yeah before the lights were in the whole car was dark.

more chrome bits are going to be fitted soon, so it will be stealth with bling ;)

such a black car..... except for the taillights as r3n said... do something with them!

for those too lazy to click on the links

lol @ the lights

they arent standard so I have done something with them. I kinda want the car to stand out a bit.

So picture the lights with chrome mags, etc

[Dee]

i realise they arent standard... i had an SXi corsa too.... but look odd now that everything is so black.. you better hurry up with the chrome bits

[mr_sikma]

it doesnt look odd in person. IMO the standard lights look crap with the huge red part around the sides.

its got chrome grille for now!

They don't look so bad :p

What sort of wheels are you thinking of???

[entice]

i dont understand why the hubcaps are removed....do u find it more visually appealing or did u damage themm..

i really dont get that part, otherwise..i get it

[mr_sikma]

well having the hubbies removed leave the black stockies underneath and go well with the overall blackness of the car!

i reckon black stockies on a black car dont make the car look so stock and grandma-ish

[mr_sikma]

thinking of something big and chrome!

mite go with the vaults or sumthing else thats cheapish and looks good :D

[JasonGilholme]

vault savanahs or vault krystals are the shiznizal!!

No it makes it look more INALA-ISH :D

You should have got the tinted SRi lights or the darker surround clear tail lights like mine...your clear lights look good on lighter cars <silver>.

Donna is totally right about you needing to keep a dark theme on a dark car...

Just my 2 cents worth....and i know what im talking about ...becoz i have a black corsa :D

[EL BURITO]

Get Black CSA wheels. They look rearly cool. Keep going with the all black theam its looking k so far, maby get black grill sent from a UK that would look cool and costs just slightly more than a full opel chrome grill replacement. Stay with the black don't go the chrome.

just my opinion

[mr_sikma]

cheers 4 the replies.

dug can u post a pic of yours in the same rear shot as mine.

i got ther chromes over the black so they "stand out" and they do!

[Wattie]

i reckon black stockies on a black car dont make the car look so stock and grandma-ish

i think it makes it look unloved and that your such a bad driver you hit gutters and your hubcaps fell off. just my opinion.

[Bernard Siong]

id leave the car all black
paint the inside headlight surrounds black
de-badge the whole car
5% tint
and black rims!
man chrome would slow ur car down even more compared to some nice lightweight rims
oh my dad always says that a car with no hubcaps looks trashed or stolen haha

[Nem]

And you need a red light across the front that sweeps from side to side under the bonnet lip. And a turbo boost button... and a dashboard that talks to you. And a Hoff mullet. :P

[mr corsa]

how funny is that pic next to the bp sign cos the building in the back ground is the old centre link or social security building and across from that is Elizabeth High School

[dug74]

Well if you want things to stand out...why take your hubcaps off...they make your wheels stand out. :D

you wanna go all dark...to blend and get a dark theme...yet you want your rear end to stick out....dont make sense...you should have got a megane...the rear end on them sticks out...:D

Neways...its up to you how you mod your car...as i have done mine...how i like it...and it doesnt really matter...if ppl like your car or mine...its PERSONAL choice...

Good Luck

cheers 4 the comments.

but seriously hub-caps are gay! barinas are a bit of a granny / girly car in stock form.

my car at the moment looks alot better without them, than with them on!

[mr_sikma]

I didnt wana start a new thread, but i was down at a tyre and mag store where my mate was getting some new mags. And i was bored so we tried a couple mags on.

What do you think?

I was always a big fan of the ROH Boost R's until i tried them on! I like those chrome ones, they are 5-stud in the pic tho.
