Rio Verde suits Calibras down to the ground. I'd love to have a Calibra at some point. Would have to be an XE or LET one though!
Nice though mate, and bargain price too.

think i should held out for a 16v but i needed a car and it was cheap and the insurance same as the corsa but the corsa felt quicker but then this in a bigger car
i dont think ill have a ecotec for some time due the trouble i had with the one in the corsa

Wasn't you the member who's dad wouldnt let you have a 2.0 corsa?
If so, why go for a 2.0 calibra?

i was thinking about a spoiler but i like the look of it how it is i did look at one for the top of the rear window tho
im going to keep these wheels for now as there arent that many gm ones i like they all seem to small or don't like them plus i think they look good

A spoiler like an Astra SRi one will make a massive difference to the back end, my mate's coupé has a spoiler on it and it looks far better than without. It really does look empty without.
Calibra DTM wheels tbh
