was thinking something along the lines of these dont want any thing to shiny or overly bit

Any one fancy doing a few photo shops with different wheels for me?

want me to have a go with paint 

The back end needs to be re-sprayed as before i got it it was involved in a rear end shunt and at the moment has a silver tail gate and a dark blue rear bumper.

and you still bought it

Only other problem is the air bag warning light is on but nothing showing up on diagnostics

2 options....
either unscrew the bulb or find someone with reader who can reset it. i think you will find that nothing will show up with the ems tester as the airbag has nothing to do with it (i could be wrong--- comon Tazz prove it)

bought a car with a shunt tut tut you can pick these up so cheap for a good 1 why buy 1 like that bud

as for taking out teh bulb it needs to come on for mot unless you fit a sport steering wheel and remove the bulb lol

[baynie]

you know the old saying "if you've got nothing nice to say dont say anything at all"  be nice if people still put it to use

[BIG DAN]

who said anything not nice ? just advice and inquisitive which is what the forums are all about i even gave you a tip on how to get around the airbag light

Nothing wrong with buying a damaged car mate, I've had 3 of them in the past. Cheaper to buy, and more of a project.

So, apart from alloys, any other plans for it?

now that depends on the tester

you will find at the moment the airbag light being on is not classed as a failure as it has nothing to do with the function of the vehicle ,it is an added option and is not relavent to the mot test at the moment so all you will get is an advisory, up untill the new MOT rules take effect that is

Would it not be worth paying a trip to the scrappies and getting another airbag ECU out of an uncrashed doner car? Not sure about the Corsa, but on the Astra's the airbag ECU is located under the centre console between the the two front seats (by the rear ashtray), and is secured by 4 10mm nuts.

I know on newer Vauxhalls, the airbag ECUs go in to "crash mode" and can be difficult to reset. Not sure if the Corsa C is the same principal, hence why I suggested a replacement ECU
