When it comes to first cars you never really know what to expect, maybe if you've had some form of stable job from early teen years you may have that little extra to push the boat out, but on average wage you will be limited, but cheap doesn't always mean bad, when you have the heart & soul to put into it you could have the same outcome for your car as someone who may have had an easier start.

When Callum first picked up his 2007 Vauxhall Corsa D 1.0 it was totally standard. But did that hold him back? No of course not, simply lowering it & spraying the original Corsa multi spoke wheels black to match the cars paint he'd successfully achieved his first modification.
Wth a JVC headunit being added & all interior lights replaced with blue LED bulbs, adding in some arch liner lighting for night & blue footwell lighting too for inside it started to make improvements. Then along came a boot build.. Consisting of 2x 15" Fli subs & a 3000w Boss ampilifier this small car packed a serious bass punch.

Then along came a boot build.. Consisting of 2x 15" Fli subs & a 3000w Boss ampilifier this small car packed a serious bass punch.
Not long after this was all taken out again and restored with some boot space, keeping the headunit without the supplements of the bass..
New wheels were needed to start sorting some proper stance out, after searching arounf he settled on some JBW OS4's (Schmidt TH line reps) finished in gunmetal centres and polished barrel dishes. The D then dropped on its behind and sorted out spacers (rear only) and some cheeky camber! The wheels were then sent away to be refurbished & resprayed Metallic Pearl Blue.
The Latest mod to have taken place since the above was another boot build, much more simple, subtle & overall a lot more classy. Consisting of a single 12" Bass Face sub sunk into the boot floor with a custom built MDF surround and a pop up lid where a 1500w Bass Face amplifier lays deep set into the wheel well with some nice blue lighting for those late night chills.
Keep tuned on this as their Is much much more to come from Callums Corsa over the coming months!
