Well im fucking livid to say the least. I thought 40mph was a safe speed but no, hit a puddle and it ripped my arch and sideskirt off.....
So now im left with the choice to buy a new set of skirts (Gsi replicas) new front arch and new rear arch or just forget it and put my car back to standard and run it into the ground.

Anyone else think the corsa has one of the worst design of arches around?

Gutted for you.
Hence the reason I avoid puddles like the plague, I've had to rebuild the whole nearside skirts and arches before after hitting a huge puddle.

We had floods a few years ago, and it came over the bonnet of my corsa (didnt cut out though with the big air filter )....
Anyways my mate hit it about 45 and it ripped his wing off lmao and i drove over it to add insult to injury, then when he got out, walked into the flood to get it back, i drove off in his car! How cuntish
