Body kits on vauxhall's are often the first port of call of most modifying owners - the standard shapes of the vauxhall corsa and astra can leave a bit of a blank statement in stock. Higher end astra coupe's and vectra's can look quite sporty but often a pair of sideskirts and a decent front splitter can add a lot to a modified vauxhall. What kit do you have?
Modified Vauxhalls
After setting the car up with a bodykit what would you do next? start with engine performance or jump strait into the design? Sparkly paint or a heavy right foot? the choice is yours with vauxhalls.

Corsa, Astra or Vectra?
...or if you are cutting edge perhaps you want to modify a brand new insignia? if you do modify an insignia let us know but other than that the car's are pretty much down to which suits you - if you want a meaty hatchback check out redtop corsa's - big engines in a small car. Astra's and vectra's have more room and bigger engines - our favourite is the last of the vectra's before the insignia came out - sooo much scope for modification on those badboys.
Whether its an SRI, SXI or SL - whatever the trim the engines are likely to last well if maintained. I had a friend once who had a 120k mileage corsa and it ran very well. The key here is maintenance - and if you are buying a used corsa, or in fact any modified vauxhall second hand, make trebly sure that you check out all the finer points - perhaps get an AA or RAC engineer to check the vehicle over if you do not feel capable - you do not want to buy a bad motor!

Custom Exhaust?
Common corsa mods stretch from bigger backboxes to nos kits, 3.2 v6 engine implants to crazy big alloy wheels - make sure you know what your getting before you hand over the cash - above all else you will likely get a bargain of a modified car if you buy pre -modified - you are likely to be in the driving seat so to speak..as modifiers often want to move onto their next project car!
