Hello
I was concidering getting a gsi front and cutting it out to make a big mouth for my FMIC, but i have seen someone sellling the Airdam front in the classifieds
I already have reiger M3 sides and reiger rear, would the airdam look good with the big mouth or not?
any chance someone could do my a photoshop, with basically the the width of the number plate cut out? in black if possible?
what do people think? examples would be great?
cheers

Dont make it look silly or garish  Huge fmic cut out of bumpers looks garish.
Look at timruds pics to see how to fit the IC, and mesh it to protect it

Get a Merseyspeed front  Not sure if they sell them anymore however. I was thinking of putting mine back to GSi spec front tho as fibreglass tends to start doing wrong things past warp speed 4. PM me pics if you GSi it

get the airdam and cut it up 
only a bumper after all.. cooler your intake. the less chance of meltdown IMHO

Search for Timruds corsa.
TBH, the Airdam is perfect for a big IC sitting in there. Only issues is the front lower crossmember and hacking away the bumper for the IC pipework.
Try to get the IC as far forward as possible so the air flow through the IC.
That Airdam for £200 is a steal. RRP is £370+. He's asking £200 for the rear though which is what you can get them from Vauxhall for

Typical, i was watching this post all yesterday, and nobody posted back for ages! then i gave up and missed all the questions!
anyway..... Corb - That picture you took at PVS is mine, or did you already know that? i spoke to you in the morning when you were cleaning your car at the stand? I will be keeping the design as it is, I just wanted to smarten it up a bit with the gsi or possibly airdam? also the car is running very hot atm, i know its hot outside bit its worrying seeing the needle to near the 100 well on temp anyway! does everyone else take out the inner wings or is this not reccomended?
could anyone photoshop the picture that corb took of my car with a gsi and or airdam front with big mouth and reiger sides on?
cheers for all the pics lads

didnt know that was yours, didnt know i spoke to you, or dont remember, i was very tired!
LETs do generally run hot in corsas, dont know if the same prob happens in cavs etc. cos theyre bigger engine bays so maybe not. i took my inner wings out, well, desmond did, cos of the wheels i used to have on there were a shitty offset and were gonna cause problems.
