Ive been there and spent about 7-10k on my corsa and now i look back and think ''what a f*cking waste of money''. Could of had a deposit down on an astra VXR with that cash.
Just leave the lad to do what he wants its his car and his money!

just conform, get in line, buy the same shoes, have the same hair cut. its like a fuckin preached at religion on here. do what you want to do, what with it being your car, and your choices.

A kit for that price isnt going to be the best quality in the world but it will roughly fit and it will be down to you to get it to fit perfect, it shouldnt be to hard, just aim for perfection not just that will do job!
ANd personally the kits arnt to my taste but that doesnt mean im gonna try and tell you not to do it, if you wanna do it, do it!
Everyone told me not to do things when i was asking opinions on my corsa and alot of people changed their minds after seeing the end result!

indeed, my thoughts about modifying cars was to do what you wanted, not to do what everyone else is just for the sake of it. maybe im wrong

yes having big kits mess your mind up when you are older. look at Steve, he had a big kit on his corsa, it deluded his mind forever, so much so that he bought a Skoda.

well m8 for that money as fear said the kit wont kit and will most propably leave big gaps around the grill and head lights and just not line up with things properly. as for fitting a kit its pretty easy to be honest just take your time and think it through working out where bits go. u2u me if you need advice, most people on here will say do kit your car up but as long as your happy then do it. heres a picture of mine, all the way people kept saying no dont do that and since its been done they all said how good it looks. out of thouse two kits id go combat.

go for it mate. I have one of those jap fornts from ebay with M3 side skirts and a euro rear. Looks well smart and evryone who sees it loves it. I bought a cheap ja front from ebay and it didnt fit right. It wouldnt stretch around the front and looked cack. Then paid £200 for a proper jap front and ft was perfect first time.

Fitted a prowler wide kit to mine. Bought of ebay and it was an absolute B*****d to fit, no way I could have done it without professional help. Looks brill now but it has taken a hell of a lot of money to get it looking good.
By all means fit one but be prepared for it to take more than you budgeted for, in both time and money. Best advise is don't start to fit unless you can afford to see it through to the end. Otherwise you end up with a car that looks half kit and primer and half original (like mine did :lol .
Oh btw, they chip dead easy too.
