its the rhd ones i want too - so they kinda merge into the car. Found some back lights on Ebay that have been sprayed properly in black so getting those too - want to keep it sexy and clean on the outside - getting the engine cover and other bits sprayed pink and some ice chrome additions here and here then in the end when i can afford the insurance get a turdo engine put in!!

the car looks well, and as said you will need RHD depos, the light alighnment wouldnt be right as the left hand light shines up higher so to see the edge of the road better, the wheels would look nice also remember you want to get the wheels as close to et49 so the wheels donot scub, also what size u going for ??16" 17" and welcome to the site

its a 1.4 16v - not huge but ok. I am buying the best i can afford - i dont do lexus lights or cheap ripspeed mods, its not my first car its my second i have 2 years no claims, everyone has there own tast that is what makes car modifying a huge world wide thing, if everyone had the same opinions then it would be a bit boring
thank you

those wheels would look pretty good but only(in my opinion) in 15s and slammed. 17s are far too big for non-kitted corsas

if you like black and chrome/polished wheels, do you like these?



think they may look alot better on a corsa than your initial choice, only a suggestion though,

this is what normal silver ones looked like on my old corsa
