I think you should of sold the car 1st and earnt some money!
Then brought something tatty from ebay or something and built on that instead of wasting a really nice car from start 1 and earn't money on top! Also say if it all didn't go to plan... 
But its looking good yes!

i like the front, dont like the rear bumper arrangement. do yourself a favour and make the archs of the kit round as oppose to 50 shaped, will make it work so much better

Yeh im planning on keeping the car and seeing the project through, im extreamely dedicated to the project as i love corsa's!
i aint drove her since the project started as i have a vw passat (which im gonna mod after this project)
like it sate's on my profile, i only started my project 8 weeks ago, and in the 8 weeks ive prob only had a full week to work on it due to storage problems.

The exhaust pipes and tips have been made, the tips are ovalish, they come throught the boot pan and out both sides where the lights were!
I'll get some pic's up when it stops pissing it down!
Not sure what colour to spray her yet, want to get it perfect so not gonna be an easy decision!
You got any suggestions mate??

I think if you stick with it you can do a good job.
I think the front will look ok, but i'm not keen on the back bumper.
What I would do is, change the rear bumper for something else, and box the skirts in. What i mean by that is the the skirts go in at the front wheel arch, have it meet the bottom of the front arch at its widest point, so the skirts step out.
Look in boyracer2002's garage for inspiration

Went to pick out my paint today and ended up going for a bike paint.
Never seen it before in my life!
Its like a light green metallic base with darker green flakes over the top of it (if you get what i meen) but its really shiney as tho theres been loads of layers lacquer sprayed over the top of it.
The other 1 that caught my eye was the same but in violet.
