2015 1.4 Corsa SRI in Pepperdust

[MattyDTD]

Had the car 2 months. Absolutely love it! The intellilink R3.0 leaves a lot to be desired so this is something i may upgrade when i have the funds. Also planning on blacking out the chrome parts and maybe going to lower it by 30mm front and back.

The colour for me really is what made me get this particular car, very quirky and different (only seen 1 other pepperdust corsa since having it).


Any ideas on good little upgrades i should look into?

P.s. Where can we get the corsaeforums sticker from please?

Thanks everyone!

The R4 Retrofit, Obviously!! https://intellilinkmods.co.uk Chris' Service is awesome and so worth it!

You could also de-chrome the grille and other chrome bits with black wrap if you want to.

No clue mate, would like to know as well to be honest

Boot spoiler and side skirts from the SRi VX-Line maybe? (you'd still get away with £30 road tax too). I was a bit annoyed to find out my road tax was £130 because of the larger alloys, skirts and spoiler! The sales person kept that quiet until I'd signed.

The alloys from the white/red/black edition look nice too, I'm keeping an eye out for a set for mine as I just have the 17 inch SRi alloys on and they're a bit boring/plain.

Other cosmetics you could do:
-Wind deflectors
-LED bulb upgrade
-De-chrome

Performance mods:
-30mm Eibach springs (to improve the stance but also the handling)
-K&N panel filter
-Exhaust back box or cat back
-Remap

A lot of people say a remap is a waste of time on the 1.4NA and while I agree, you won't get a huge amount of power, it will make a difference to the way it feels to drive. Especially if you have the lower power version of the 1.4NA.
Think there is a 75bhp and a 90bhp version off the top of my head. Both are essentially the same and remap to around 110bhp.

All the above will probably add quite a bit to your insurance if your young, so that's worth thinking about.

What year is your Corsa?

if it's 17 plate then changes in VED were the reason for paying £140 nothing to do with trim

I own a 16 plate so managed to get the £30 tax before they changed to £140 for 17 plate onwards

Please tell me where you can get a n/a 75bhp engine remapped to 110bhp (46% gain) as most remappers only advertise 10% gain at best

Its a 65 plate. I did a bit of reading in to it at the time and the larger 17 inch alloys and body kit push it into the higher tax band compared to the SRi trim. I think it's like a 1-2kg/km difference bit it's enough to push it into the next band.

-1.4T (100bhp) SRi 3d (2 Oct 2014 - 31 Mar 2017) - £30 road tax
-1.4T (100bhp) SRi Vx-line 3d (31 Mar 2017 - 30 May 2018) - £140 road tax

For remapping the 1.4 N/A engine.

The 1.4 N/A engine in 75bhp or 90bhp variant is the same, there are no mechanical differences. So you see a larger gain with remapping the 75bhp variant than you do with the 90bhp variant.

Someone posted that they had their 75bhp mapped to 107bhp here > viewtopic.php?t=2834
Might be a few more examples of it being done on the Corsa E | Owners Club on Facebook too (it's a bit more active than this forum).

It's the same for the 1.4 Turbo engine. In SRi trim it's 100bhp from the factory. In white/red/black edition it's 150bhp from the factory. The only difference is the ECU mapping. So both variants remap to the same 170-180bhp. It's just you see a far larger % gain for the SRi trim as it's more restricted from the factory.
