hi people,
my car is a V reg and i wanna get a gsi kit early next year.
my question is.. i have only seen pre97 gsi's can you get post 97 gsi's??
if not will the gsi kit still fit my car ok?
aslo when i get the gsi kit i will be getting a respray.
i was gonni spray it white but some1 near me has done the same.
im not a fan of over the top paintjobs but was thinkin maybe brocade yellow.
what color should i get it?
help very much appreciated

You can't get post 97 GSi's, the GSi became the Sport and lost the kit and became boring.

But the GSI kit will fit a post 97 car.
Brocade Yellow GSI Sounds awesome!

as people have said they only made the GSI pre 97 facelift. they only made the GSI between feb 94 and nov 95. the kit will fit fine providing you get one which hasent been in any accidents ect. i havent seen a Brocade yellow corsa with a GSI kit. gotta be one somewhere tho.

Sounds like a good idea etc, but good luck in finding a mint, full GSi kit.

IMO, if you want brocade yellow, buy a brocade yellow car.
Nothing worse than a two tone paint job.

Incorrect, I have seen a K-reg Corsa GSi, I've only ever seen it once and it was a genuine GSi
So using this chart it seems that GSi's were avaliable from late 92
AUG- JULY
A 1983 B 1984 C 1985 D 1986 E 1987 F 1988 G 1989 H 1990

So you'll strip the whole car to nothing and spray the whole shell?
If not, theres no point. For what it'd cost to do, you'd be able to buy a brocade yellow shell.

there are a couple of brocade yellow gsi's, I've seena few pics over the last couple of days, would be better off buying a brocade yellow car and transferring your parts over though.
