Don't spray in green though.

keep the van jimmy,
yes, get a let, or a z-let,
wheels, yes, go for the steelies, either astra sport steels widened or some mattig style steels would look good.
alternatively Revolution/Schmidt wheels would look good too.

Will, i'll swap my XE for you LET!
They don't do Revolutions in 15's though do they? Don't think 14's would look good with these arches?

yes they do do the Revolutions in 15's, if your lucky some 8inch Manta sets come up on the bay now and again, think you may need to get a stud conversion for the old style Manta nuts if you were going to do that.
But i think you should do the 15" steels, it would be another corsa first and probably the only one in the country. Dont let everyone put you off the idea, because most of them have probably never seen banded steels to see how good they look. you know it makes sense mate, give me a shout if you want me to keep an eye for some steels

Will, theres a place in Huddersfield that widens them. just a case of seeing if they'd look right, and finding a set of 15" steels that no one wants
Could get them chromed and they'd be a poor mans Schmidt TH Lines!

ill keep an eye dude, the guys in huddersfield are quite cheap too and i think they can get them powdercoated too.
try on a corsa-c website and see if anyone has any 4 stud 15's they want shut of, you may find some there.

Yeah thats what i'm thinking/worried about. I tried racing my mates Saph Cosie last night and i lost so i think getting a LET is a knee jerk reaction!
