dont bother with 16"s unless you get speedlines.

17"s are way better looking and apparently the steering is better too? Ive had 2 sets of 17"s on mine, wouldnt have it n e other way 14" of rubber on the floor

Those are the breaks i want but cant afford

You will but spendin £400+ on brakes really isnt worth it on a 1.4!

Morrettes can look cool, make corsas look very different

Exactly why i'd prefer to change them as the vauxhall standard ones look wank behind large rims tbh they look wank behind those 15's

your wheels r 15"s, your standard breaks wont even look that small behind them, plus as they r quiite small you wont be able too see much of em anywya

hey,
i have a black SRi with 16" OZ F1 Evo alloys. and i think they look the business. dont go with morrettes as they look a bit silly really.
and big brakes are pointless as well unless you are going for big power gains.

invest in a decent exhaust system, and induction kit. thats what i am in the process of doing now. i have the exhaust system at home, just not on the car just yet!

Induction kit is waste of money unless u want it for noise or its sealed. Dont drill your airbox either. thats even worse

zorst will stop it sounding like a hairdryer (mine does std xzorst i hate it)

Get morrettes if YOU like them after al its your car!

yeah they do sound like a hair dryer standard it currently has a air filter on it but it sounds a monster at full tilt with the standard exhaust and it can be driven slowly saves the olds moaning
