A LARGE proportion of people on Corsa Sport have totally come away from the big bodykits and massive wheels it's a trend i am greatly enjoying

I feel its because fast cars are becoming relatively cheap second hand so are happy to do the usual wheels, exhaust etc and wait until they can afford faster cars

IMO I think it's because body kits etc has become more of a chavy thing and the looks for 2006 appear to be subtle mods.

its an age thing for me, when i was 17 all i wanted was a novadose body kit for my nova, because everyone else would think it was ace.

But now all im bothered about is stuff that i like and power tbh. I like all the little things that make a car, not just fit a body kit and some lexarse lights and think your the man

ive never felt the need for bodykits, only when i bought the white one did i come to thinking about power cause i was bored of the same engine and the fact i loved the corsa to drive so much made me want it to be quicker. i have fitted a gsi bumper to my old sport but only because i love the look of that standard bumper.

GSi bumper and skirts are the best kit to get for the Corsa.

I'll probably end up with another Corsa in a few years when I have to cut back to get a house and it'll have a GSi kit on it.

I still like to see the large bodykitted corsa's that are done well SteveW's & ed's being an example

But yes, on the whole i like subtle bumpers and euro look

when i was 17 all i wanted was a bodykit on my corsa. and thats why i dont mind people kitting up cars as at that age i was the same. its just the really badly done ones that do my head in but aslong as the job is a decent finish i dont mind seeing them around. afterall, its their car and not mine and if everyone liked the same thing it would be boring

but i must admit, id rather spend money on a faster car than sticking a load of tat to it
