I love my bodykit as its not so in yer face and quieter. When we take D4 n D5 out for a drive, D4 doesn't even get a look in

I think the Corsa has just been overdone with tacky bodkykits. People are doing things to be different and not suiting the mods to the car.

Biggest example was Toms 19" 106. Great individual mods, but together, they looked terrible.

Also, the fac that most of the kits in this country are the cheapest made all over the world doesn't help

I was exactly the same, cant belive i actually nearly bought a combat kit to put on my GSI, wot a comlpete fcuk up that would have been!!
Got to the point where i didnt really wanna do anything to the look of the car, and if i wanted any real performance gains, eg using throttle bodies etc, it would have cost me a fortune!
So i decided on something turboed, different and ridiculasly fast, enter the GT4 only cost me another £3k after i had sold the corsa. Havent looked back since!! petrol is a bit savage though!!

whats the point in havin a big kit on if you don't have the power to leave a geriatric driven unable-to-go-more-than-30mph-nissan-micra behind? you'd only end up feelin embarrassed. subtlety is definitely best, LuckyB's got it sorted...

i know where people are saying about insurace, but i am getting to that stage here i can insure almost anything.
not even just luckyBs theres loads out there, the bond Bug, my m8 has a Relint Kitten with a Hyabosa, adam K's, even stard car, u dont se people mob them, Evos Skylines etc etc

but i dont think u will see beardy do anymore bodywork on cars, get my new wheels, and mybe a repaint/tidy a few things up, and then moneys on the engine or even a new shell

heres a good way to put it : - your have 4k to spend what u do (insurance isent a problem).........
- Spend it on a full body kit and wheels

the only thing about Impreza's and other cars in the same range, when u do go out in it, and get to the light with say a Nova GTE or Corsa GSi they never going to race ya in a impreza, i think a corsa or somthing un expected is thats the way for me

if u want sumtin to scare the shit off people then buy a mini.

u can buy one real cheap.
my dad used to hang round with a guy tha fitted a v8 into his mini,he had to move the dash back by a foot and do alot of gear lingages and all that but when he drove it,it went like nutin else.pretty much like sitin in a rocket powered bean can.

either do that or buy a kit car like the mullen 11.

or as a last resort buy a honda s2000 and fit a huge turbo.

it may seem like im tryin to order you around but im not,this is just my opinon and if insurance permitted i would do all 3.
