Have seen this done before on photos but never in person, not my cup of tea but thats purely because I love the GSI front. I like the arch's though and has got me thinking

I really don't like it, not a fan of the smoothed arches either, tigra alloys are nice though.

Admire it as an effort to step outside of the box but creativity is the only thing it's got going do it.

I would agree, I think that is what lets it down. Better body work, fresh lick of paint and different wheels - personal choice - would of made it look much better.

Not anyone from CS then?

As I understand it (unless someone wants to prove me wrong), mine was the first in the UK to be completed, roughly 2004/2005.

Its the white one, black alloys, custom rear arches, semi smooth boot, XE.

The green pickup was around 18 months after mine (i think).

Although i remember seeing one at PVS in 2007, which the guy said he had been building since around 2003, but used Corsa wings, with a Tigra bonnet, headlights and bumper. I think it was a brownish colour, that had just been finished that year.

I'd love to know how many there are in the UK, and roughly when they were built.

I've been looking into the other swap on my mrs' tigra...getting a Corsa GSi front end on it - thought it'd look quite smart. The tigra front end isn't that nice imo.
